Our little forum is growing and I am thankful for all of you!

[Cruizin]

On a whim, I started this Forum in September of 2018.  We all were getting hyped up over the Full "World Raid" marketing campaign. I don't know about you guys, but I was pretty sure they would launch the bike right after the campaign ended in 2018. 

 

Instead, they launched the Nikken?  WTF was that all about? 

 

I stayed focused on building the forum. I kept paying the hosting fees, kept payin the software licenses, kept adding features, building the backend. Because I knew, someday, the bike would eventually get released. 

 

Well, the bike is released worldwide now. And wow, we have 1584 members as I type this. 

 

We have over 5000 daily visitors. 

 

We have over 30,000 page views per day. 

 

We have almost 700 pins on the member map, with members from all over the world.  And I'm so thankful for each and every one of you.  

 

Are you in an ADV or motorcycle club? I can create a hidden section on the forum for your club. You can even make it "Invite only" with your own calender, events and your own little private forum.  Send me PM if interested. 

 

Want to schedule a Rally in your area?  Announce it in our regional section, send me a PM and I'll add it to the calendar and we can have people RSVP, add maps, email it out for you. 

 

Are any of you writers hoping to get into the powersports media industry?  I have an articles section that can get your craft seen by thousands. And, I would give you a great job reference.  And, our links show up in Google Search Results, Forever.  

 

Pretty soon we will be adding a Phone app for the forum, thru inivision power, the makers of our forum software. With full phone notifications. 

 

Unlike Facebook, I don't collect or gather your info. My small staff does NOT have access to your PM's. I don't care who your friends or family are. And I sure as hell wouldn't sell your or your friends info or email addresses to marketing companies and spammers like Facebook does.  (Some of those other corporate owned motorcycle Forums do this too  ).   And I would never sell my forums to a company who does this, either. 

 

Also, people on forums seem to be nicer and the tech info on forums seems to be more accurate and helpful. Something about the nature of forums, or at least our forums, brings out the best in people. 

 

I have some more plans and features coming to this forum.  They cost money, so some of the links that I post earn the forum a tiny commission if you click on them and buy something.  It doesn't raise your price, it's just a finders fee for sending you to them. Revzilla, Twisted Throttle, Cycle Gear all donate back to the forum when you follow one of our links and buy something from them, if your adblocker is off. Same with Amazon.  And we have Vendors who make some awesome parts who pay to be here, who plan on doing occasional group buys and discounts for you guys. 

 

This helps pay for the monthly costs and the future updates that I have planned.  And I have some cool stuff planned. 

 

I have a bunch of plans for this place.  And it's possible all because YOU came and joined us.  Because you post. Because you wrote that killer tech tip . 

 

Thank you all for being members of the worlds first and largest Tenere 700 forum.  Let's keep it growing! 

 

Best regards,

 

Rob AKA Cruizin
