I realise it's probably looking a bit "void of content" on here for prospective members so thought I should fill it out a bit. I only know of www.fz750.com & www.fz750.net both of which are run by Arch I believe. I will post a link to this forum on facebook when I've sorted 1 or 2 things out but in the mean time if anyone knows of any other useful sites or forums we should know about I would like to see links in here please. ;D

Yep,ARCH runs both .net and .com . Funny story about that,back when ARCH started the site it was .com. Then he ran into a problem with the server and a hack attack(this was still in the infancy of The Net). He somehow lost the .com and started .net. Then a few years later he was able to get the .com back and used it to start the second site that you know. Thats right,.net was .com in the beginning. The original site is dated,but that is where my wonderful ride with all the boys started (I believe I logged in for the first time on the old site sometime in 98!). ARCH keeps it alive for old sentimental fools like me. If you monitor it,you'll see that posts are sometimes few and far between,but alot of newbies find it before .com . Plus the old registry has some really nice bikes in it that have been lost top the sands of time. If ARCH ever can't afford the expense of 2 sites,I hope he can save all the content to .net . The old site(and even the new)have always been very civilized and flaming is almost unheard of. We did have a problem with a guy whose handle was "TEX" and we basically drove him from the board. ARCH has never banned anyone that I know of in the history of the boards. He also has never taken a dime from any of us to keep the sites running. I tricked him one time and sent him a FZR1000 front clip and some R1 brakes. When he asked how much he owed me I told him "nothing,payment for services rendered". He's a great guy and I am glad to know him,his family and call him my friend!

I do like to brows the old registry on the .net site when I've got time to kill. Some very nice bikes in there.
