Significant GL1000 / GL1100 / GL1200 / CBX / CX500 Variant /DOHC-4 content:

Important Note Regarding Randakk's Forum Participation:

There are a number of good Forums that focus on the classic Hondas like the GL1000, GL1100, GL1200, CX500, CBX and DOHC-4s that I favor. Some excellent Forums are listed below. I believe all forums should exist for fellowship, camaraderie and information sharing. I try to conduct my activities in that spirit. Although I monitor many Forums, I am an active participant in only a select few.

My participation is limited because I'm very busy and...

• Many experts reside on these Forums and they do an excellent job sharing helpful information.
• Most questions have been answered before...a search of Forum Archives will usually yield the answer you seek.
• Generally, everything of consequence that I feel compelled to say is documented on this website.
• I never have a problem when people disagree with me publicly so long as they stick to the issues as I try to do.
• If you feel personally offended by anything I ever write, read it again. You are most likely mistaken. If you still feel that way, let me know. I do not intentionally make such mistakes.
• On rare occasions my views are distorted or misrepresented by others. I don't have any appetite for such conversations. My views are well-documented here. If you have a question about my view on anything that's not clear, ask me. I will freely tell you what I think and why. It's completely up to you to decide for yourself if you agree.
• I generally respond on Forum discussions when there is a unique new question, someone has gotten bad advice or misinformation has been posted about one of my products. I don't troll for business on Forums.
