I spoke to Arnie on the phone today.  I miss his forum contributions greatly, he was a cornerstone of the original FJ community from it's earliest days and has thousands of posts to his credit and is one of a handfull of guys here that know their stuff. His departure was a great loss to the forum.

Anyway, he has done what any self respecting motorcyclist does when they are on the wrong side of 70, buy a 170hp / 180 kg rocketship, an Aprilia Tuono. I know there are many here who may not necessarily wish to contact him but would like to know what he's up to. I hope to catch up with him for lunch later in the week.

If Arnie is forgotten,  then that is based on his decision to no longer participate on the forum. He made the choice after stomping off because he did not get his way in regard to the RPM banner at the top of every page.

Arnie, has never responded to my email or pm that I sent him to discuss his dissent when he got mad.

Arnie has anyways been welcome to participate and he made the choice to stop.

If he's is forgotten,  all he has to do is look in the mirror.

If he wants to participate,  his account is still active and is more than welcome back.

The choice is his and his only.

Thanks for the update Noel. Hopefully Arnie might catch up with everyone in March next year at Dartmouth on his new bike, (will have to look that one up)

This got me thinking....How many of us that were in the original Yahoo group chat room are still around?  I think I started when there were only 300 posts on that site....That had to be over 20 years ago by now.

From the USA West Coast I’m still here, East Coast: In addition to you and Nancy, FrankM, DavidR, HenryR, Dean, BillR, ChrisP and that old guy from Colorado, Lee Carkenord are still around. FrankM still has Brutus and DavidR still has his pristine FJ, but I recall HenryR (FJR) Dean (KTM) and Lee (Suzuki Bandit) moved on to other motorcycles....but they do pop in from time to time.

If I missed someone, I apologize, please chime in....

A good question would be, who is still here from the Netpath days?

They are usually only vocal around the Rally times but there's TRoy, Danny Lewis, and Rossi (Rock)

Pat, Dave, I'm still paying attention to this board, lurking around at least once a month. I've been busy with life, like many people and have been working on rebuilding 3 FJ's. My '89 1200, an '85 1100 I got from my brother and since I inherited Calvins' '86(7?) I'm going to spruce it up and. Mine is now a 1250 and is running like a beast. The other 2 bikes are still early in the process.
