Just wanted to say a little something for a board member who goes by n2trips. I was in need of a seat pan for my S2A and he came through in a big way. For some reason he decided it was appropriate to GIVE me the seat pan at no charge saying he had received the same treatment from several members of this board and he wanted to "pay it forward". All I can say is I am humbled and I will not forget his gesture.

To me, this is why boards like this are special.

n2trips is "The Man". :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap: :clap:

"Pay it forward" is a great and honorable way to help others, not only in our somewhat small Kawasaki triples community, but if you can help, everywhere in life.

Good share. I'm on a lot of "other" boards for other machines and the like, and nowhere have I even seen the kind of camaraderie and willingness as I have on this board - really the members who have been following it in various iterations over the last 13 or 14 years. Newcomers too for that matter.

This forum and the people in it are truly unique and special. I'm glad to call you my friends (except Moo and his G'damn Gumby) ;)

[b]It never ceases to amaze me just how good this group of enthusiasts, that we all know and love as the Triples community, are at helping each other.

Its not just good advice you can count on, but practical assistance too....I've met and made many very good friends through the KTC :D [/b
