Forum facts, earliest, most active, etc.
« on: April 25, 2024, 10:33:30 PM »
Was looking over the member info today and thought maybe these bits might be of interest.

skadamo launched this forum on November, 15th, 2007.

There are 12,822 registered members.

Taking a guess here:

I think the oldest, sorry Karl!, earliest and most-active member is CROSSBOLT. He came in on the truck with the second load of lumber. Karl registered on January 4, 2009. And thankfully, continues to be quite active here!

The roster based on the number of posts, with evidence of recent activity, would also include:

Neil
Iahawk
Klaviator
Ruffus
randyo
big blue
and.... rjs987


One of my first posts, in 2013, was to ask if the LIKE200i would make a reliable work commuter.
I received positive responses from veteran owner/members.....and have not looked back with this fun scooter!


Stig
Boston Strong
Rural Ohio

And, I'm feeling a little peculiar.

Thanks Stig, that is interesting.

Dunno why this Forum has the pulling power it does, but maybe it really is greater than the sum of its parts. I belong to a number of similar fora / groups, but none have the charm and appeal of this one. As evidence, just consider the number of contributors we have on here who no longer even have a Kymco!

Or never did.
2014 BV 350  "IndiGO" (fast, strong and tireless)
2006 Honda Rebel 250  "Snow Leopard" (stealthy, agile and durable)
2018 Lance Cali Classic 200i  "Black Panther" (smooth, nimble, quiet and quick)
2016 Wolf V-50 (sold)

Wanted a Kymco, ended up w a Lance, but that forum is inactive, so I am here

just checked..I joined on the same day that I bought my Kymco scooter back in '15. I recall not knowing anything about Kymco, so after a little research I found this forum and read glowing reviews. Came for the Kymco, stayed for the general entertainment! Lots of good, somewhat quirky individuals who enjoy riding 2 wheelers. I also love the fact that our members are from around the world!
2010 People S200 - sold after 8 wonderful years!

1996 Honda Helix
1984 Honda Nighthawk 650

29 August 2019 for me, so still a relative Newbie compared to some of you guys. Check in most days and would certainly miss it if it went dark permanently!

I came here in 2015 after I bartered my UXV450i from my dealer, never thought I'd ever own a scooter, I'm an adventure bike guy, but around 2019, I kept walking past a 2016 K-Pipe my dealer had on consignment, one day I had some cash burning in my pocket, made a ridiculously low offer, and to my surprise, it was accepted, Kymco # 2

by 2022 all this scooter talk got to me, now I am a full fledged scooter owner 2022 AK 550, Kymco # 3
