I rarely use a search engine anywhere. As for newbies asking questions rather than searching I welcome this. 1st, it forces me to think and 2nd it gives newbies a chance to get to know us and we get to know them. Our whole life style has become too impersonal for my tastes.
What may seem like a brain-dead question to an experienced rider could be a matter of life and death to a newbie. I have answered a few PMs from newer riders that they might have been afraid to ask on the forum because of kneejerk comments from some of us old guys and gals. Remember, we were all newbies at one time.
And this also applies to experienced riders as well. Getting a different bike and being a lot short in the info department puts you back in the newbie category for a while. The internet and forums are the greatest way to share our collective knowledge base.
How happy would we be if we had to rely on dealers for everything ??????? Jumping off the soapbox now..
