As per your suggestions, I've posted this over in the "Suggestions" forum. My thinking, however, is that it really belongs here where the people most affected can read and consider it.

Let me reiterate a little. For some reason we have two forums that are dedicated to the vertical twin motor. One is this forum, "Twin Talk", and the other is the "Cafe Club". When the Thruxston was just a glint in some designer's eye, the Cafe Club made sense. Now that it's been out for a while, it makes less sense. Everyone who posts there MUST post here to get any feedback. This makes the Cafe Club redundant. It might as well be done away with.

However, I still think that two forums is a good idea. I would prefer to see the cruisers--with their discussion of forks, highway pegs, etc--split off.

I know that we all have the same angines, but let's face it, few of us do anything to these engines. Instead we're all changing APPEARANCES. My feeling is that these appearance changes break down into two camps; the cruisers (SM's and BA's) and the Bonnevilles (Bonnevilles, T100's, Thruxstons, & Scramblers). IF we are to have two forums, my feeling is that such a split makes the most sense.

If, on the other hand, people are unwilling to make that split, then let's bow to reality and get rid of the Cafe Club. I'm getting sick of posting my threads in both forums, and I'm getting sick of needing to read both forums to find all the responses to the threads that most interest me.
