July 2004. Yahoo search for Suzuki Marauder 800.

Why I come back? I lost my keys and I am still looking for them. Anyone see them?

I really like the anti-flame and safety orientation of this BB.

I was researching the M50 and found this forum. I didnt get the M but stayed around to hear the stories and information that is passed along.

Searching for info on the C50, bounced me in here. I usually turn a snob nose to forums, but I looked around and liked what I saw.

I keep coming back becuase it is a well rounded site with plenty of information, knowledge sharing, and the right amount of humor. The flames are set at low on the burners and there is not much mud slinging and name calling just because someone doesn't like someone else's bike color.

Another +1 searching for feedback on the M50 prior to purchase. I have come to greatly appreciate the collective knowledge of forums. This is one of 3 forums I frequent pretty regular now, a Toyota forum because of my truck (though currently being scarce to help avoid the temptation for the 2007 Tundra released soon), a single parent forum because I am a fulltime single dad plus I help moderate there. There have been other forums that I joined and rarely or never again visit mostly because of the way they are operated.

I already had my M50 when I joined. I was just looking for additional information that I wasn't getting on another forum. Luckily this forum isn't still Suzuki-specific so that I can stay here since I don't have a Suzuki anymore...

Default Clunking brought me here

I had just bought my C50... thought I had a problme with the gearbox /clutch making a clunking sound... I websearched and found this board. I read lots of posts here and like the humor, politeness and information I found. It appealed to me a lot so I decided to register. Nice place to practice witicisms when you cannot ride... ... ( like now... just got a root canal... not gonna ride on vicoden..lol )

Zuki-Dude's web site had a link for this place.

Don’t know why I keep coming back, sure beats working.

Looking for info on the C50.

Found the last man instead. Have not laughed so hard in years.

Although I still check the water before I drink. (Thanks Kevin)

I think someone linked me here from the motorcycles community on livejournal. It was probably inspiron, since he's the only one I know on both sites.

I, like most others here, stumbled across this forum when doing research on the M50. I like the wealth of info here and the witty remarks. It's also one of the more civil forums I've come across, and I appreciate that.

Notice the only Smart @$$ comments are from the mods & admins.

I came here just after I bought "M". I liked the fact that safety is promoted and that there is a since of community.

Oh and just to keep in line with the rest of the mods I stayed for the free pens.

I came here via Google, looking for "C"50 Suzuki forums. Look at all the post above me for the "M"50. What a bunch of uninformed loosers, maybe they'll see the light someday. Did someone say something about flaming?

This is my second stop every morning, my first stop is a (local to me) car/dragracing forum. The good folks in here keeps me coming back.

This is my second stop every morning, too! But don't worry, I washed my hands after the first stop....

How did i find it? I did a Google search for Suzuki forums and found this place when it was the 'Suzuki bikes Forums".

Why do I come back? The pug commands it. I can only obey.
