Best website for us 3 wheel guys but seems like theres way more veiws then replies

[hotscrape]

notice alot of posts on here are guys looking for simple help and alot of the people reading these replies are very smart but nobody seems to replie unless you have been a member for along time or have awsome pics of trikes or moded out wheelers,would be nice for more input to help out the people that are asking for help even if they seem stupid all input helps we have all been there before the only way to learn is hands on or peoples input thats what keeps us collectors keep collecting learning on how to work on them.no bashers now over this post just a suggestion.

there is no such thing as a stupid person,I learned at the track when I raced that in a group of 50 people that are talking about a problem that the dumb answer could be the fix.Listen to all opinions because you can learn alot from the the odd person.

More than likely the people reading the posts do not have the answer. Clear enough?

[KASEY]

well it could be that some people aren't positive on how to help so they wait to see if someone chimes in .... but you have to remember its not a chat room either... sometimes it takes a couple of days for people to see the post,,, i know it does for me,,, so relax and do a search and read some too,,, people will respond soon enough.

Exactly what I was going to say. Beat me to it.

I could spend all day on here answering questions but I dont because of time and I feel people want "instant gratification." Nobody seems to want to read a manual anymore to learn how to troubleshoot problems. For the older mechanic crowd on here, we didnt have the internet so did it the old fashioned way by the book and learned quite a bit. Also sometimes I will read a thread and by what is written the poster they are way in over there head on a repair and offering advice is not going to help and probably make things worse because they don't have the knowledge/skills to get the job done right. And also some things just can't be diagnosed on the internet. I know it all sounds harsh, but I feel its for the better good..BUT I do like to help when its possible or for a challenging repair or interesting subject.

I read alot of posts that honestly, have been answered a milion times over, and alot of members are probably sick of ansereing them!! I would suggest using the search function, and spending 10 min fanning through some posts. Alot of times you will find your answer. Your first post should be a request of where to find a service manual for your particular machine.

I'll agree with this. There are certain subjects that seem to appear over and over.

I'll tell you one thing hotscrape- If you're going to continue to type without using punctuation or capitol letters I'll never respond to anything you type. If I come across a thread or a post without punctuation or with bad grammar, I'm not even going to read it. If you don't have time to type properly, I don't have time to read your tripe. All too many new members type this way. Please refrain from "texting" and you may do better.

Wow I DIDNT NO THIS WEBSITE WAS ABOUT SPELLING AND PUNCTUATION FABIODRIVEN GIVE ME A BREAK THE AINT NO SPELLING BE CONTEST ON HERE,.ITS A HELP SITE NOT A SPELLING AWARD SITE PEOPLE LIKE YOUR COMMENTS IS WHAT TICKS PEOPLE OFF.

[Kintore]

Oh yah, caps is considering yelling, while your searching you should read the rules while your at it.

[Mrs.Mosh]

I am not saying this to upset you, but Fabio has a point. It's even in the rules for members to try and type so people can understand what you are saying. Imagine if people talked like some typed.
Do you think anyone would understand them, or help them?

Now, to answer your question....
I am sure there are many reasons why people do not reply to some threads. Everything that was already posted above is right on.

- The search feature.
- People may not know the answer.
- * People can't figure out what the poster is asking *
- Or, and I have seen this....someone answers a question and gets more members arguing with them about their way of doing something. I think this is the big one. This is the stuff that makes people leave the site.

[oldskool83]

I only tend to answer questions related to the trikes i have an interest in. I dont like blowing smoke up someones rear on questions I have no clue about, i'd rather not guess. This is off the topic but i do feel if the site was sectioned per type of machine more people would get to the point answers as per other forums i am on.

I agree 100%
