Ayup lad. How you doing?

Not bad pal, so what's new?

Post by **nugget** » Sun Feb 12, 2017 8:08 pm

Not a lot really. It's been fairly quiet. Stigs still dispensing the tablets when he remembers what ward we're all on. Don't know if you know or care but the FZR1000 forum has folded up. Lots of info has disappeared into the ether. I'm patiently waiting for Spring to get here because I'm like a pacing tiger in a cage at the moment. Have you been up to anything?

Hi Mark, alright mister. You still riding and are you still drag racing and gardening? Bet you little un is growing up now

As Nuggitt says the EXUP world has shrunk considerably with FZR forum disappearing and also FZRarchives gone

My bikes buried under a heap of cardboard boxes in its vacbag. Not sure if it'll get out this year as I'm trying to get the Twincam back on the road this year. Dads been gone 10 years now so I need to pull my finger out and get it sorted

Alsorts, working, racing and don't worry spring is on the way you'll soon be out on your bike.

Its a shame about the other forum and all that lost info.

Yes I'm still gardening and sidecar racing, I only use my little drag bike ones year now and as for the little un......

He's got himself a Yam.

Is it possible to get the information from the other forums and import it across to this hosting solution to have as an archive?.

Would renewing - addressing any hosting issues enable access to the forum or has all the data been wiped?

Post by **Stig** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 12:30 pm

The domain is owned by someone other than Neil who ran the forum. There's a possibility Neil would have backed up the site regularly so all the info wouldn't be lost. I backed this place up weekly when it's busy

Not sure why the other sites down but it's the host that's currently not displaying things. This sometimes occurs when payments failed or in my own personal sites case been stopped as no longer used

I'm sure the fzr site could be resurrected if the owners chose

might be worth a conversation with Neil then see if he did back it up be a real shame to see it lost - a lot of great project threads on there, although I dare say there was some overlap / duplication on this forum so maybe not all lost?

I email Neil when thevsite went down but didn't get a reply

Getting there......or trying to!

Not seen huge numbers joining but there's an extra 350 since 2009, so far as I can see. Stig will know I'd guess.

U still running Bill's old Sidecar?

Post by **Stig** » Mon Feb 13, 2017 3:35 pm

We've had a few folks join but it's been fairly quiet by old standards. Time of year and weather don't help

Yes, it's got a Suzuki in it now though and I've recently bought another sidecar with an early R6 in it that I'll be using this year too.

The plan is to hopefully sell both later this year and buy an F1 sidecar instead.
