The olympics in Vancouver started tonight. 8 years ago they were in Salt Lake, around the same time BCSB started from a site called sportbikes.net, that had this little tiny forum in it called 'Canada'.
I think a lot of the community has changed, and some of it has stayed the same... and dare I say some have matured? So many of you have created and inspired what this site is today. It hobbles along now - it used to be a much tigheter smaller group than it is today, and the moderators and admins were much more involved with the community. These days it's still an awesome resource of information, entertainment and community - but changed in that clique's form and people navigate towards different aspects of it all.
The point of the site was simple: Don't ride alone. The number one comment I got from everyone when I got back into riding (I started somewhat early at 18 and rode for 2 years, picked it up again at 24) was that nobody had people to go riding with - even if it was just one or two buddies to go for a rip and shoot the shit at a coffee shop... in Squamish . How times have changed - you can't even go up the Sea to Sky this month without a pass; it certainly is warm enough to do it though.
I think we're still achieving the goal of connection like minded individuals.
If you have some other inspiring ideas or want to contribute, feel free to drop me a note.

Hi all,
The server will be having a physical move to a new data center this weekend. The site will have it's first hard downtime in over 3 years; more details to come on this item when we have a scheduled time.
DETAILS:
Site will be moving at NOON Saturday October 3rd and will not be back online until aprox. 6PM Saturday October 3rd. *IF* you have trouble reaching the site, please try clearing your DNS (ipconfig /flushdns in windows). Alternatively, a reboot should get you going. If it doesn't work straight away, simply try back later - it should resolve itself.
edit: All done. =)
Sunday edit: Sorry for the outage folks (1:30PM - 7:00PM). Some hosting location bumps, should be all sorted out now.
Thanks everyone,
The administration staff.

» BCSB looking for new moderator(s) |

Inquire within.
The current moderators are looking to add one or two additional moderators that can help get members moving in the right direction when they err. No interviews required. We'll be doing an audit of previous activity and have a private discussion as to whom we can get involved here.
Please send me a private email detailing why you'd like to be a mod, how active you are in the community and what you can help do that's going to make BCSB a friendlier place:
Email: adam@bcsportbikes.com titled: BCSB moderator app.
Thank you,
Adam.
edit: I've updated the post. I've gotten a few emails saying : Pick me. Perhaps you might think to expand as to what you'd like to accomplish. I don't think we've had a new mod for years, and some fresh blood would go a long way to helping rekindle the original spirit of this site.
edit2: Thanks for all the applications. We're reviewing them and will contact people shortly.
edit3: Thanks all, new moderators selected. Enjoy.
