Just An Errant Thought Here.....
« on: July 28, 2007, 02:27:42 AM »
but why were there 102 board members online on the 30th of June setting a record for "most online members" ??
I could maybe see it in the winter....but at the end of June ?? Why wasn't everyone out riding instead of hammering a computer keyboard ??
Another of life's mysteries.....
I, at least, had a dislocated shoulder and a cracked rib as excuses.

Maybe these were all new B1250 owners keen to share their experience - the bike only really became available in Q2 and has attracted a number of previously non-Bandit owners.

My guess is that Stormi was doing something with the DB that made the system thing there were that many on.  For a long time, the record was like 14.  I doubt the accuracy of the 102.

Maybe it was all the central/south/east texas members lamenting the lack of anything like a dry road to ride on?

It's the RAIN in East Texas keeping people indoors. I went out Sunday AM but ran into fog heading west from here so I have up and went home; I was hoping to hit 55K miles before the end of the year .... but not unless the weather co-operates.

IIRC, it was in the mid onehundred-teens for my town around the end of June!  I like it hot, but that's a little too warm for me.  :)

Well, I had nothing to do with it.  Hell, today's the first time I've been able to check up on you all.  :stickpoke:

Perhaps the googlebots went nuts?  

The highest number I've seen was the day I brought the backup board up.  That was something like 67.  then somehow I wiped that out and went back to the number that was on the old board.  

I noticed the 102 as well, and was surprised.  How did the board do?  Slow as hell?

How did the board do?

Beats me. I was in a prescription drug-induced haze with my dislocated shoulder and cracked rib.
Anyone else notice anything weird on the board that day ??

Beats me. I was in a prescription drug-induced haze recovering from rotator cuff shoulder surgery!  :lol:
