Please...not "der panzer brigade" It'll turn into a fashion section and where to get the best half caff, low caff mokka chokka latte skinny white/black americano bubble tea. I'm voting yes because one day I might own a 2007 RT with corrosion issues and "the thing you're all supposed to know about that nobody tells you until after you've bought" it money pit. 8-)

You have to remember people move on when they buy a different bike. I can't remember the number of forums i joined in the past that i didn't close the account down.
5000 members is still a lot more than the BMW club of Great Britain has.

Hardly anyone posts on it. Waste of time joining it. Takes over a week to get any resonances.
