There really is no "forum" for the Airheads. Instead they use something called a 'mailing list' [from the days of steam powered internet] you sign up to get the e mails delivered to the in box of the account of your choice and if you are clever you can even create a separate spot where they all will go.

That's a great description.  I'm still on Brit-Iron-L:

and have been on since something like 1989, though I had to unsubscribe at one point because the volume of (yes, plain text!) emails was too much for my 2400 baud modem.

Monte,
No big ones - just a lack of common sense combined with youth. In 1971 I was stationed in Germany and became friendly with a group of German motorcyclists. Come fall they told me that it snowed around there and I would not be able to ride a solo bike - I NEEDED a sidecar. They found one for me in a junk yard and after "restoring" it with a spray can of paint I prooceeded to ride all winter and ship it home.
I still have the hack but when it snows I grab the car keys rather than a helmet. Perhaps wisdom came along with all these gray hairs.  ;-)
