I've been around the ol' innernetz a bit, but I spend 90% of my time here. I'm not an active member at any other bike specific forums atm (except for my "other" bike), but I'm active at a couple gun related forums. I've met some cool guys/gals there, and we exchange parts and shooting tips/tricks, etc.
I used to also be pretty active on Honda/Acura forums just because that's what I know. There were always people I could help with repair work on older Hondas.
However, nowadays I'm pretty much all CBRF. The reason is because this place is the best there is. There are some really great members and mods here, and the admin is excellent. People always get the help they need, but we still have some fun.
As far as sprock....well... every forum has one.

Since we are airing our laundry, in the late 90's through about 05 I spent a lot of time on a home theater forum. At the time, it was great bunch of guys and we were all experimenting and learning, and I was one of the most experienced and could actually (believe it or not) help folks. Since then it has been taken over by 20 somethings whose goal it is to insult anyone who has anything to say that isn't hyper technical jargon based on testing with instruments they have done in their home. I got there just because I wanted a good deal on a great big giant TV. At the time you had to take a business projector and add a signal processor and hold your mouth just right to make it all work. But, it's pretty useless now, because the new projectors are sooooo good and sooooo cheap that a particular review site and about 10 minutes is all you need to make the best choice.
Just remembered, I was on a Road Star forum for a while back in 99 when my cruiser was new (before and after the purchase), but it was pretty (extremely actually) boring. All about mechanics talking to each other, and nothing else. No big picture. No humor. Everything right in that tiny little box.
I was in a forum drought for about 4 or 5 years there. Now I feel all warm and fuzzy again.
BTW, if any of you have any questions about affordable home projection systems, I'll be glad to give you the straight skinny. I'm purely a hobbyist with no profit motive.

I think also that the lack of motorcycle related posting on quite allot of other bike forums is a bit lame too ..
I just took a look at another CBR related forum(not named :-) , that quite a few from here are members at as well ...
and ...this is no chit .......in the latest posts list (10 pages !! ) bloody hell , there was only " 1 " lone post out of the " 100 !!" listed that was bike related ...the rest were total dribble that would only just qualify as good enough for our 1000F Hurricane Saloon. or out the back in our Avagoyumugs area .LOL
What a waste of my time that was checking it out ...
I think the balance of dribble and good CBR related posting on the CBRF makes it a great place to spend time ....
