Question Clint... {Bandit sites}

...where are the active Bandit forums, fansites and info sites?

I love MJ but but you just cant get a lot of fruit from the "Bandit Lair" here. I found a few odds and ends on google search but didnt turn up a lot.

Feel free to post info and opinions here anyone.

I am looking for more than I get from the cruiser riding experience. My M50 is a great bike but my wife will probably be getting it soon. However I am not looking to go super sport, and common sport touring is a bit beyond my price range.

I mostly ride in in town, commuting, running errands, and backroads joyriding. Sometimes I ride with friends, honestly we probably hit the curves a little more agressively than cruisers should. Ocasionaly i will go on short highway jaunts but since I am pretty uncomfortable after an hour or so I really dont try to plan any trips further than that.... yet.

I'm not really comfortable with the foot forwad position of cruisers. My knees flare open the longer I go. Sport bikes would put my feet too close to me and folded up. Standards seem to be more logical option for me.

Bikes I've been concidering are....
KLR650 (08+)
V-Strom
Bandit
DRZ400SM
Versys
FZ1
Ninja 650r
Intercepter
