im slowly learning that the internet is full of geeks... lol

[sprucas_fab3]

guys i reckon the best place for info is in forums - the best thing to try is trial and error and learning from other peoples mistakes and configs

if only we had a tech forum in here

[fastrider gus]

talking to your mates is good too... get off the computer and go outside! nerd!

Heh, it's true though...
anyway, I've learnt heaps from trawling forums, there's so much info out there, and whilst the signal to noise ratio is a bit low, it's still easy to learn heaps just by participating in forums.

He says the net is full of geeks,maybe so, but some of them ride too.Does that make their input less important than yours?
You dont need to take everything you hear on the net as gospel.There are alot of people who know vast amounts more about bikes than us here and a few who dont. Learn what you can guys,its all good. Besides does spending too much time on the computer make you a geek?if so how many posts have you done?

Some of us might not have friends.......

[peachy]

lol DOM - your avatar? is that how u feel about running a website?? well TOO bad, farkin.net is kewl keep it runnin... and about the subject, yes i have learnt a lot, but its sometimes hard to understand when people are explaining how to fix certain things your just like "WTFz0r"

[Grip]

Hey Peachy, if I over "tech" a subject, or am being unclear I don't mind at all if you ask for further explanation... and I reckon most of the other people here would think the same. Asking questions is one of the best ways for anyone to learn and only a dick head thinks someone is silly for asking them... simple as that.

And yeah... I've learnt heaps from all of you guys. Thanks

You can just learn stuff from reading MOST of the topics.
Has taught me a bit

The best way to learn stuff IMO, is to start a gigantic argument over whatever it is that you want to learn. So much information gets plastered everywhere, and you really get to see a lot more of both sides of a situation than just asking a question.

Well that's a unique and, on the surface of it, a really stupid way of going about things... but brush my bum with bristly brush if it doesn't also make sense to me. Thanks Steve.

It also makes a good excuse for all the arguments I've caused... :)

[phreeky]

Learnt heaps on the forums has saved me $$$$
and kept my ride out of the work shop which is just more $$$ and they dont always fix it more $$$
so yea the forums help and is a good place for newbies to start to

[naz]

the internetis full of porn!~!

[RaID]

i think its good to see generally on forums
that you can talk to people that are directly involved in the industry

you ask a question and the designer of that product tells you how to solve your problem

plus you get great riders aswell
its all good :)

Yea, the Farkin forums are an awesome place for tips and advice. :)
