    Testimonial: the sites helped me out in more ways than I can remember.. as
    well as advice from others, I've learnt in a relatively short space of time
    the basic fundamentals of Triumph motorbikes and am now beginning to
    understand the advanced stuff, and recognize individual components & what
    they do. Cheers to all who have helped me out.. and I like to think that I'm
    now able to help others.. which is what its all about. BP750, Coventry,
    England.

    Testimonial: The Classicbike.net forum has some genuinely nice and
    knowledgeable people frequenting it from all walks of life from all corners
    of the world. It has been ever so helpful to me with as a non mechanic owner
    of 1950 to 80's British bikes and has an easy to use format. With heaps of
    interesting information on fixing the classic or for plenty of good humored
    fun, the site has become infectious.
    Information available here you cannot buy. IMO the best classic bike site
    one could surf in on.
    If you own a classic motorcycle and a sense of humor your interest is
    welcomed. Mouse, T.O.M.C.C, New Zealand.

    Testimonial: A great site to learn the tricks and traps not mentioned in the
    manuals.
    No better place to pick the brains of some very experienced mechanics.
    Learn from others' mistakes, not your own! Dave, Perth, Australia.

    Testimonial: Whether you want the odd bit of info for a job....or a
    step-by-step idiots guide for every nut and bolt - nothing is too much
    trouble. If you cant learn it here....you cant learn it ANYWHERE!!!!!!!!!!
    Mick S, West Yorkshire, UK.

    Testimonial: This site has members than provide information ranging from a
    major re-build to the proper battery for a given model.
    A wealth of information coupled with wit and humor make this the best
    classic British Bike forum around.
    Glad I found it!!!! Sammi, Connecticut, USA.

    Testimonial: I like a good few others reached the age where I could afford
    (just) to purchase the Brit Bikes that I had always wanted, in short I am a
    sort of born again type I suppose. With the unavoidable onset of age it pays
    to get wiser. This is the place to get wiser, there are loads of helpful
    people who understand if your question is not of an advanced type and are
    more than willing to help on any aspect of motorcycling. There is also the
    "The Bar" to throw ideas about and get feedback. All in all if you are going
    to look into any site, give this one a go. Jim Whamond, Kent, UK.

    Testimonial: As someone returning to biking (and consequently engineering!)
    after many years of being a company car driver, and never picking up a
    spanner, it was great to find a site of helpful and friendly people to
    assist in fettling my '87 Bonnie.
    Without this site I would have been struggling and certainly would have
    been reluctant to have tacked some of the jobs that I had to.
    Great levels of experience and in-depth knowledge of a wide range of bikes,
    not only British, abound within the membership, and all queries for
    assistance are answered very promptly and accurately.
    Classicbike.net abounds with good humor and is wonderful for cheering the
    spirits. All in all EXCELLENT.......! Jerry, Watford, England.

    Testimonial: The site has proven to be an invaluable resource, I initially
    thought a British twin would be a reasonably simple piece of machinery for
    the mechanically skilled.
    The principles are simple but the engineering involved is arcane to say the
    least, it took me a year to sort my bike, it would have taken two years
    without the generous assistance of those here.
    There are people involved here who have seen all the bodges and mistakes
    that may have been inflicted on a bike over 35 years of ownership by those
    of varying degrees of skill and motivation.
    I now have a great bike which is a pleasure to ride and maintain, a truly
    practical machine after having been "de-bugged" by experts.
    This past Christmas I traveled 1500 miles over a route not visited since my
    youth, on a bike which I have admired since that time, life is good when you
    have mates.
    The social side is great also, wit and wisdom [and tolerance] are plentiful,
    welcome aboard.
    Richard Cummins [Tiger], Melbourne Australia

    Testimonial: The best site I've ever come across, good advice loads of help
    and heaps of fun reading, good pics and jokes. Perry, Holland

    Testimonial: "Simply the best British bike site (and growing), bar none!"
    Trumpy Jack, Sydney Australia

    Testimonial: I feel I have traveled the passages of many such web sites and
    the technical responses on Classicbike.net have always been prompt, and
    helpful. Stuart SS, Far North Queensland, Australia

    True, true.

    I think I'll sign up in my "Enfield" guise, then try to slip a few
    Kawasaki-shaped posts in.

    I wonder how long before he boots me off?

    Let's go and find out...

    He'll claim "non-commercial", and probably get away with it.

    The funny part is that he has an anti-Japanese Jihad going. He makes
    Tallbloke look like a sritty-eyed Ninja-loving Geisha Girl.

    My recommendation would be to sign up and subvert. I'm eagerly awaiting
    my email.

    I'm glad to hear he's as popular here as he is in aus.moto, he's an
    irritating twat.

    ....snip
    Yes it's only a classic if it's British, he won't even concede that
    there are some old Italian and German bikes that are classics, let alone
    Yeah I did that and got booted, after the third nom de plume it got
    boring, perhaps you guys can do better.

    Perhaps it's being hand-delivered on a classic bike which is currently
    pissing steam and oil all over its miserable owner on the hard shoulder of a
    motorway?

    Twelve hours later, and no registration email.

    I suspect that Gus is discriminating against me.
