as I was also thinking, there are a lot more 125's (Chinese) on the road , mostly with loud exhausts. those along with the lack of 50cc scooters are all riders unlikely to progress bigger and thus partake in rideouts and forum. I am also an abstainer from Facebook due to all the adverts and do I really want to see someones new cat or pictures of their feet on sunloungers on holiday (saw this this week from a workmates page).
having had a girl pull out infront of me on the Ducati, the right hip is keeping me off bikes, eldest cant stand watching bikes on tv since his accident, its only youngest still riding.

as an aside, the web site is currently displaying a red triangle and Not secure on the address bar which may put some off.
