I'm appreciating VTXOA more than ever these days as I recently purchased a Yamaha Raider and am learning that bike's forums are pretty dead. On this forum I'm confident that most issues I may have with my bike has already been discussed and resolved, and those that haven't will get a supportive answer quickly. On the Raider forums I'm seeing people who asked questions months ago getting no reply, and a few questions I've asked get only one or two responses that still left me scratching my head. I've joined 3 Yamaha forums now and none of seem to have much to offer in regard to bike specific technical answers for the Raider.
To it's credit VTXOA has spoiled me with a reliable place to go for technical support. In all honesty, I might not have bought the Raider had I known there would be no place to go for technical support from a wealth of 'hands on' DIY riders.
Sometimes you don't appreciate something until it's gone, so I'm appreciating this one more than ever.
PS: I've owned two Yamaha's now and when people ask me which bike I'd sell I always tell them I'll always keep my VTX.
