New Official Concours Owners Group Website

[7 Aces]

I always find it suspicious when a "rider" has so many posts on a message board in the riding season. Save the posts and the drama or winter when we cannot ride. During the summer ... get off the computer and get out and ride. That being said ... I'm off on my adventure this weekend.

I had to do a google search to find out what a 'Concours' was  

Just called GTR over here - dont see many of them.

K1300s seems better value but thats probably due to exchange rates etc

It really isn't the "experts", they are generally well meaning and usually there are bits of knowledge in there somewhere.  The folks who roamed both sites and exercise themselves as the "senior members" with the best interest of the group in mind expedited my departure.  

Liars, fakes, BS artist, pick a label, always stirring the pot, spending more time reading and posting to compensate for their lack of a life or riding ability, ruining a good place to visit from time to time.   I could name them but why promote them here.  I have seen a couple of posts here from 1-2 of these slack jawed lackeys.

You cannot make a post on the Conc site without comment from at least one of the 10-12 complete losers in this group.

Sad, because until the recent events I was unaware of the history surrounding the site I had previously known as the Concours site.  I just thought these idiots were there trolling for a life not actually living one online.  

Sorry for the rant, just got a bit of downtime and decided to vent on something.

Said the guy who's been ranting and raving about elevated post counts and calling others names and accusing them of lying . . .

If you don't like online forums, go someplace else.

+1. Also OP's got six posts. How do you say you know who "all the Connie trollers" are here? I've been around here for about 2-3 years, never saw a "Connie Troller". We ass around and have fun here.
Sometimes things get heated due to differing opinions.

"Bits of knowledge"? That COG forum was a very heavily technically oriented site with some extremely knowledgeable guys.

I've been a COG member and forum member at Rick Hall's site, and it was a great site for technical info, some of those guys can tear down a Connie down to every last nut and bolt and put it back together
again. I stopped visiting the site due to some of the politics and people bitching about one site or the other, and on top of that, I just simply found this place a lot more fun in general.

OP, sounds like you need to ride your RT to find a stodgier forum that suits you.

Pffffffffft. Hang around here somemore. Get your butt to the leather shop for some thicker skins, you'll need it. DAMHIK.
However I wouldn't call these people losers. Everybody's pretty cool here with a very few exeptions.

There is a New Official Concours website, but the best Concours Forum is located at,  http://zggtr.org

IMO The Concours Owners Group owes Rick Hall an apology for their actions and a big thank you for his efforts over the years. All at absolutely no cost to COG or the forum members.

Pure BS. Rick is a rogue and deletes any posts that expose him for what he is--he helped himself to payments from google ads. He didn't do anything but build up the post and view counts and membership on the forum which led to him receiving more google ad money, and COG is a not for profit organization. Many folks are misled to be Rick followers because neither of the two Concours forums will allow any comments or the truth to be told about him. When he deleted all the forum posts from the last 4 years, and blamed it on a hard drive failure, that was the last straw.
