some companies dont care about "enthusiasts", the way that i see it...but then again, i guess that if youre selling $20,000 bikes that cant get out of their own way, or half a million dollar sports cars...it doesnt really matter if youre getting FREE promotion from a little forum.

but like i said, some companies are very good about it..for instance, dodge has a rep that posts on dodgeforum and chryslerforum...they dont reveal any secrets, or stuff like that, but they answer questions and such..
