It's a good idea if you're comfortable with that. A lot of us more frequent members do already know each others locations. It's kinda nice to get to know somebody(as much as you can through the internet anyway) before you let them know the town/city you live in. I'd certainly never post my address to a thread. Private messages are there for a reason.
You might be surprised how close some of us are. Anybody who wants to know where I am can certainly find it if they need to... Greensboro, NC... Along with more info I may or may not be comfortable with... Either way it's out there now. This forum does get a lot more traffic than people might think. Most people never register, or do and just ask one question and never come back. Nothing wrong with that... I have spurts where I'm on here multiple times a day and then sometimes I might go a couple weeks without getting on. I find that sometimes I read a few threads and don't comment just because I have nothing to say. Although, it seems like once I post to one, I'll post to 10 or more. It's kinda addictive.
I encourage people to stick around. Get to know other members. This forum can be informative and entertaining. Some people think that it should just be boring facts and ego contests. I disagree. Joking around or just shooting the sh** keeps me coming back. If it was just facts and details I would only get on when I have a problem with my scoot (rare partially thanks to this forum). Scooter related threads do take priority. We may go off on tangents sometimes but if a question is asked, 95% of the time the question is answered first. Sometimes somebody starts a thread and nobody ever replies. I hate when that happens. If it's been a few days or a week, ask if they have figured it out. You may not be able to answer the question but at least you'll put the thread back at the top of the list and show them that somebody is reading it.
Everybody is entitled to their opinion here. Some people are just bound and determined to tell you you are wrong in every way. They may be right, they may be wrong. Sometimes you just have to be the bigger person. Members of this forum are from all over the world. Cultures and norms can vary widely. Remember that. That being said there are some really cool people with expert advice on here. It's an enormous resource. I've said it before and I'll say it again... I'm so glad I bought a KYMCO just because I found this forum. Have fun and get to know each other,
Peet
