Relaxed and enjoying an evening with not a thing to do. All my check ins with the serious sites is done. So, thought I'd try Bike Forums. Mind you this is not dial up. Nor is it the fastest. Guess what? The site loaded decently fast. Did not see the usual waiting on double-click ads at the bottom of my IE. Guess this site is like some of the TV programs; a victim of its' own success.

Ever notice that often popular TV programs rapidly prgress to a point where ads overwhelm content? In this site's case I think they haven't kept up site mechanics. THE big break was the change that happened a few months ago. In addition to the speed problem there are still displays issues that don't cripple the site; but certainly make it less friendly; especially when compared to other recreational sites.

But, for now there is enough activity and the hit count is high enough there is no impetus to change things. So, acknowledge it is a spasticaly slow site that still has value and enjoy for what it is.
