am I the only one?

Nope, I'm here 18 hours a day.
The remedy for living through others is to start sharing your rides and stuff with others here. Then everyone can see your area and ride/live your life through you.
For the most part, there are 2 kinds of members: those who come here needing help with their bike or are new to riding and those who can fix their own problems without making a big deal of it and help others fix theirs.
Those who get help, get help. Then go few and far between posts, eventually disappearing. Sometimes a few will stick around and hang with the social side of our community.
The ones that know how to fix problems, do so. They don't need help very often. They offer their experience to others unselfishly, and more often than not, stick around socially and continue helping.
There are a bunch that come here to only sell stuff, but they run into authority and never really get started in the community.
So, my question is: Which member are you?
You're here often, so you must like it here.
You could always come do picture challenges with us.....

Love the picture challenges, when I make my next purchase I plan on doing these quite a bit. Actually completed a few of them back when I had my f4i, the forum does seem to move a lot slower than it did when I joined. I see fewer new posts coming up, used to be 15+ quality posts popping up hourly with a few of the re-occurring questions and "use the search button answers"
Haven't been active here since my last bike, got a cruiser for awhile and lurked more than anything. But now I am getting back on a street bike especially since my brother wants to start riding and I will have someone to go with.
OT: I don't think I live through others but rather like to share my experiences and read of others around the country/world.... and I am extremely bored when I am at my office on Mondays.
You should join the picture challenges they are a blast --

I have to admit, I stalk this site all the time, but don't post all that much. I have asked a few questions on repairs and some how to informaiton. However, everyone here is extremely helpful, and offer great advice! As an example, last weekend my bike experienced some electrical issues and due to all of the diagnostic advice here on this forum, I quickly found what the issue was. It was my stator. Ordered online, replaced and now I'm back on the road. Also, I'm not the most mechanically inclined individual out there, so the advice and pics on the site were invaluable! Just my 2 cents, but thanks everyone!

What about the third group of people. Who came just for a bit of info with the intent to leave and decided to stay? The ones that will ask the stupid questions and feel like a retard when someone else googles it for you :P Someone who actually does the dares in to short lived dare thread. The guys who spends way too much money, time, and effort on his bike to maintain a healthy relationship. You forgot those guys.
Oh and whenever I open my browser I find myself here noodling around even if there are no new threads too.
