Yup, there's no doubt that reading these threads helped me to avoid errors that would have been a pain. Very valuable info.
Not to mention that fact that it's fun to be chatting with folks with the same passion and experiences. Most of us are alone in the real world, but we're part of a community on this site.
What still surprises me is how many people are impressed and even excited over my bike, but who won't take the next step. I'll point them in this direction and make it clear that it's cheap and easy, yet they don't do it. Funny thing.
