KDXRIDER.NET

Can't access DRN anymore. Anyone else having problems?

Is that a problem?

Yeah

Drn is not dead there just upgrading. I don't really like that site the owner is stingy. Can't even view other members galleries. can't view others profile either unless you have a credit card lol.

Yeah, but it is a great resource for a nimrod like me. So is this site with CC and everybody. It will be better as the membership grows.

I wonder is kdxwoodsrider ever gonna have fender stickers like DRN? Then we can show them what the best kdx site is

Maybe you guys already have them if so I feel like an idiot

Its not a bug its a feature...

DRN has its place...it just doesn't involve KDX's

The stickers are on the way according to Inda and will be $25/set or free if you upgrade to level 3 membership by the end of the month.

DRN, whats that?

Oh ya, black fender, how far can I jump threads. I remember now.

Just kidding :wink

Haven't had any need for DRN lately with this COOL site

JackPiner:

Hey! No reason to be snide about it!!

Just 'cuz I ask stupid questions around this board from time to time or otherwise hang around doesn't mean there isn't plenty of room for other folks.

Or...

Just 'cuz I'm here doesn't mean you can't be, too!

In other words...

Welcome!!

re: your sig....

You gonna tell me you tried that and it WORKED?

WE HAVE THEM! Inda: show him where he can get a set!
Jackpiner..... I remember a Jackpine enduro.

CC, The cop looked at me for a few seconds with a blank look on his face and then laughed and said "that's the first time I heard that one!" He let me go! I was only doing 50 in a 40 zone though. Oh, and here's my good snide

skipro, My first real dirtbike, a new 1972 Penton Jackpiner 175 cost me $1075.00 from Cycle Design. In it's day a truly great handling and very fast bike. The motor was KTM,s debut in the USA. Penton claimed 36 HP and I think it was faster than my KDX ( but I was 60 lbs,lighter then) Of course John Penton named it after the famous enduro.

Drn is not dead there just upgrading

Leave it to those re-re's to perform an upgrade involving signifigant downtime. That a-hole has enough money to bring up another site completely in parallel. This is remenicant of their server crash a couple years ago in which all data was lost

There sure are some bad feelings toward DRN here. I don't know who runs the site, but if he's a re-re that can't be good, especially if a re-re is not a good thing. (what's a re-re?) So fill me in, who is this guy and what is the problem? Thanks for the welcome CC, and I promise to try not to act like a re-re.---------->

We allow discussion of DRN here at woodsrider. Try asking your same question on DRN. Even mention the site of woodsrider.net and it could get you banned. Search for skipro3 over there, read my posts and ask what reason I was banned. Seems DRN didn't appreciate competion even though he allows sites like KTMTalk and Thumper to be discussed. The admin over there is not too fond of critque either. He has his band of insiders who he allows to trash the average user as well, under the guise of Moderator.

But, in a nutshell: Several guys on DRN were treated very poorly by the admin there, especially seeing as how they were providing good answers to basic questions and were gaining nothing from the experiance than helping fellow riders out. (And paying money for the privilage as well) These guys got tired of it and started looking for an alternative site where their assistance and the level of discussion could remain on a higher plane. Rethnal, AKA Indawoods, AKA Vince stepped in and created this site. Other users here also started KDX based sites, but this is the one that took. They then threw in their efforts to abandon their site and lend support here. (I'd mention names but they asked to remain anonomous, as is true to their humble nature.)

Woodsrider will never have a clique. Many of us have experianced that and didn't like being treated as outsiders or that our opinions didn't matter as much as the IN crowd's did. We treat all new members as if they were here from the very beginning. This is a site where egos are checked at the door and members are made to feel welcome. To date, we haven't had any trolls or anything more than respectful differences of opinion, as far as I can tell. There's lots of joshing as good friends, new and old, will do.
Here at woodsrider, everyone receives the same level of user features. Payment is voluntary as evidenced by the small Icon at the bottom of the page. Our Administrator doesn't exploit the users here with sponsors of any kind. His only monitary compensation is in donations. Those who find value with this board can donate what they think is appropriate.
It is obvious the Administrator of this site has a heart for the sport of off road dirt bike riding and KDX's. He shows tireless effort in running a clean board without having to weigh us down with his own personal ideals. A truly selfless nature, IMO.

Well said Ski - when everybody disappeared from DRN overnight it was pretty shocking and a bit un-nerving...but everybody seemed to end up here and be better for it. Its pretty amazing when you look at the quality of information being offered here on this forum for free and without any price tag attached.

Woodsrider rocks sometimes, I crept into drn to pry but my kennel is here!

It's o.k. to slumming once in a while; and there are still good people who are participating in that KDX forum. Their Admin does us all a service by not allowing woodsrider to be mentioned; it ensures that only the dedicated riders looking for something beyond the same old questions asked over and over will eventually find this site. (Well, at least for now) There's nothing wrong with asking basic questions; we all began somewhere. The difference is, we respect both the person asking questions and the ones who provide answers. That respect is extended into the challanges of accuracy in some of the answers. That's called discussion. For me, the biggest reason I don't go slumming is because there is no respect extended to folks who choose to provide answers. At this stage of my life, and my experiance, I just don't want to waste my time with that. Woof!

re: '..bad feelings toward DRN..'

Probably not. I don't think anyone here is whining, crying in their beer or otherwise pouting in a corner regarding anything DRN.

That doesn't mean there aren't plenty of reasons for such (bad feelings) to exist for a number of folks on this board. Those folks are of a higher caliber than that.

This is not a simile but a metaphor (the difference is important).

If it looks like $hit....and it smells like $hit...you don't really have to determine if it tastes like $hit, do 'ya?

Some things just are. No reason to have hurt feelings because of it.
