The original TWF is listed and from what the old members say here, they gave Stewie hell.

its vs, but they abandoned it a few years back

Dragonpaco · 02-23-2009, 02:07 AM

in their TOS it states that they are not owned by anyone, but then again asking VS for the truth is like asking a penguin to engineer a performance carb, sure you'll get it but it'll be half assed and take forever to get

What about cbrforum?? I'm a member there and it seems as if the 929 area is dead.....

Those fuckers. I didn't really say much during the end of CF because I wanted to wait things out, and at one point even posted to try and calm people down over the switch. I feel like a dick, because everything I was telling people to give the new owner a chance on was right on the money.

CF was the first forum that popped up when I searched for a bike forum the day I bought mine, and it was where I learned some of the most basic knowledge that has kept me shiny-up as long as I've managed it. The fact that some cocksucker could come along and fuck that place up after swooping in when Rez and lorilie were in need makes me want to get my Leatherman and do some work. May Stew be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels.
