Welcome to BIELLIE the 4,000th member to our FJ Owner's Forum.

Did you know that this forum averages over 10 thousand page views per day (10,277) and the total number of pages viewed since this forum opened in Feb.2009 is over 20 million (20,945,647)

That's a lot of clicks.

Last year in April when we reached the 3,000 member mark, I posted this:

....and to all you guys who make this forum so cool.

To which, Leon's post summed it up quite nicely:

Damn right, Pat!
There is no other motorcycle web site I find worth going to.
This place has it all.
The FJs,
The people,
The stories,
The Rallies,
The friendship, (Online and in person)
The parts,
The experience and knowledge,
And some other best damn riders I have ever ridden with!

Rock on FJowners!

I'm pretty sure half those page views are from me.

Glad to be a part of this great group!

Congrats all round. Hey Pat, did we ever get to the bottom of why the "most on line today" number is at best confusing - or why it`s calculation had to be altered?. (Perhaps it`s the most number of topics addressed today?)...apologies if I missed a previous answer....just curious, no biggy.

Pat Conlon · September 07, 2014, 07:54:14 PM

Hey Doug, no, we never got it resolved (that I know of)
I do know the count on the #of guests online is wrong for sure.
I got online from my son's computer and the guest count did not change. It stays at 1
It looks like it tracks the registered forum members online ok

I take the forum software's page count from the stats section. 'Thou 10,000 pages per day seems like a lot.

Anyway you shake it this is a great forum with great members from around the world.

This is great news!
My hope is that this site will be here for us all for many years.
We have already proven that the FJ, itself, can stand the test of time,
so be it for FJOwners.com!

Leon

P.S Thanks Pat!

I think the "Most Online Today" count appears to only track (Most Online at one time)?

It should probably be changed to "Individual Users Online Today".................

Anyway, that's my theory.................

I can say that I have received a lot of help from the members of this forum over the years.............And made some great friends!
Here's to all the members, old and new.................and to Marsh!

Talk about value added.
This forum and associated rallies have really made owning an Fj a living, breathing, organic experience.
I wanted to write at length, but it's late already and tomorrow's another early start, so I turn to those immortal words from Craig Zari....
GOOD TIMES.

I read this post earlier today and thought just for fun I would check out the Yahoo site. Could have sworn I saw a tumbleweed roll past my monitor. I am still a member but log in maybe once or twice a year at most. The format of this site is just sooo much easier to navigate - thanks for the great site Marsh!

Up for a Sunday Ride?

Capn Ron · September 11, 2014, 10:33:53 PM

Right there with you Mike! I have made so many great friends here...through the keyboard, through rallys and through local rides. This forum has put me together with people that I will have with me for the rest of my life.

Thank you to every helpful contributor here (There are so many!!!)... And a special thank you to all my FJ friends from the states, my amazing friends in Canada (getting choked up here), Austrailia (I swear I'll make the trip someday!), England, Norway...Holy smokes...Where else do you see this happening? Thank you, Marsh for making this all possible.

As I write this, I'm packing up the Givi hard cases and am heading out in the morning for a ride up to the Reno Air races with Pat and Paul. I'm well looking forward to it!!

While we are mentioning the group's accomplishments, don't forget the orphans we helped for Christmas in Hungary!
Awesome group of riders here... inside and out.

Inspiration. Finding the answers I was seeking on a path well worn by the others before. Finding the others that were just like me.... Making the bike better. Making my time on the bike better.

Value added? I would say so!

Thank you friends!
