This is a tough tough choice, but the time to say good bye is here due to some personal issues, I have met alot of great people here who i hope to continue to stay in touch with. Thanks to all of you for your help. I have accumulated alot of mini bike related stuff and im moving it all. I will post in classified section as I go through it all.. Again thanks for everything, Joe
You never realy loose a memeber to a forum like this ( unless they leave on bad terms ).
It has been my experience that people grow develop and tastes change.
Usualy once around 3-5 years or so of high interest something starts to change.
Some people slowly exit an interest,or they move in a direction that takes them into places where others are not following.
The important things are the skills and ideas you learn always seem to adpat themselves to new things ( thats where the interesting part of have an interest in something comes from ).
I used to interested in beer and brewing.
Now I just like to drink premium beer and apreciat the effort in it....
I used to collect antique engines.
I no longer have a large collection, but kept a few working pieces.
I kept the things that can offer me pleasure and serve a purpos ( like the Petter genset ).
I used to race...
I think I am done with that now.
The mini is jus too hard on the body to continue....
But The stationary engines and minis cross polonate a lot of ideas.
I love the Clone as much as any other engine because of all the things you can do with it and too it ( seems to me the Petter and its clones are lot like that too! )
SO we are not loosing a member...
We are gaining a member who although drops in less and less will have new ideas to share.
Good luck Smokinsmos.
Keep in touch and enjoy what ever it is that has tweaked you new interest.
