    Hello Brockie, I'm a new member and posted a 'new guy' post with a few questions and after an edit I can no longer see my post. Did I do something wrong? Thanks!

    Your thread is still there buddy, with your queries. Here is a link to it. New guy, first post...windshield question. :)
    BTW I fitted a Givi Airflow screen and love it.

    You should be seeing "alerts" via your avatar, top right corner of your screen.

    Place your cursor over the avatar (to the left of any post) of the person you wish to contact. A box will appear, with the word "message" in the bottom right corner. Left click on that and a message form will appear with that person's handle already inserted.

    The recipient will get a messages alert when they next log on.
    I enabled messaging for Daintyshades a few minutes ago.

    Cheers.

    Thank you for doing that. I have enabled conversation access and classifieds access for you.
    We have to be careful. Lots of Pakistani, Indian, and Nigerian Prince V-Strom owners these days. :)
    Cheers.

    Hello Brockie. I'd like to see what happens in the arena, I assume that is where the Musk thread went. Thanks

    Did you get your neck checked? Many moderate neck injuries over the years resulted in 2 discs pressing on my spinal cord. I had the choice of being paralized from the neck down or having 2 level discectomy and fusion. Still recovering 5 months later.

    I did so when the discomfort became more recurring. After x-rays the doctor diagnosed Osteoporosis, yet I know the event and place of the injury.
    I just put up with it. I missed out on a job 20 years ago as a forklift driver when the Dr doing a medical decided that I could not look behind me.
    I can look 90 degrees but not behind.
    Thanks for asking. Cheers

    Hey Brockie, I'm new to the forum and new to riding, picked up a 2008 DL650 that I'm trying to get road-worthy again since it has been HEAVILY loved with 60k+ miles. I'm looking for a DL1000 seat and saw that I can't post in classifieds yet due to scammers. Any chance I can get a expedited pass to the classifieds?

    Hi Chris,
    I have enabled classifieds and messaging to you.
    All 2004-10 650 and 2002-11 1000 seats will fit your bike. The difference is that the DL1000 seat is +1 inch higher.
    Welcome to the forum. :)

    Please help us out by adding NC and bike to your signature.

    Hi, Brockie. I'm curious as to what I'd need to do to become a vendor? Although I sold my Wee years ago and don't really hang here anymore, I still get orders for panniers from guys that are pointed in my direction from kind words spoken from members her in the forum. Can you help?

    I understand why you removed my posts and have no objection. The part about white peoples was a Clip from Not A Cop, post #14. That was not my comment.

    In the future I will be carful on whom I quote or take a clip from.

    Thanks for your understanding. Some comments will inevitably be misunderstood and cause a negative response.

    Other forums have found that Off Topic discussion always results in animosity between contributors and so they ban any topic or post which may lead that way. We will have to see if Stromtroopers can manage what all others cannot.

    Hi Brockie,

    Sorry to bother you in two places. Would you be able to enable Classifieds and Conversations access for my account? There's an item in the For Sale section that I'd like the purchase and despite having the minimum amount of posts, I'm still not able to reply or send a message.

    Thank you!

    Hi Brockie, Is their any way possible way to allow me to pm other members ? I have a 650t and Motor7 said if members want to know how to make a air deflector PM him and he would explain how. Thanks, Harry

    No problem, I have enabled conversations and classifieds to you. That is really strange. I see your posts but for some reason they are not included in your account as activity. I will send a note to VS as it may effect how others respond to you, thinking that you have only 2 posts.

    On Saturday my account was reset and I received an email with a new username welcoming me to the forum. I did NOT do this. I had to re-register using my original username and now all my posts and alerts are gone.
    Do you know why this happened?

    I have used the contact link at the bottom of the page but have not had a reply.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    Gudday, I'm a newb to the Stroms, just sold my Yammie 600 and looking to buy a WeeStrom. Which is the best Forum to ask for anyone that has a Strom to sell? The Marketplace seems heavily US oriented and I would just be wasting a bunch of people's time, I was thinking the general forum, in the Aus / NZ? I'm based in Melbourne Australia.
    Thanks in advance,

    JT

    Hi.
    Best to try, as you suggest, the Australia/NZ forum. There is a local flea market there Australia-New Zealand Flea market and if you ask there you may get some good leads.
    There is a good page on facebook as well called AuStrom.
    Good luck.

    I'm not sure how to interpret hat you wrote. The phone call was from Motocanada. I was a bit taken back when he called, and when I realized it was him he said "yea, yea, I know, I'm obnoxious," but we had a normal conversation from that point on.

    Trolls, (people who exaggerate JUST to wind people up) do not help. We expect people to say what they believe - and to not deliberately incite others "for a bit of fun".

    Surely we both want the same thing - a productive and harmonious forum where owners can learn and interact. Deliberate antagonism for fun should have no place here. ?
