It is a FACT, 4's are more reliable. Given the same size, state of tune , amount and intensity of use, same service schedule, etc.

It doesn't mean a 2-stroke has to be unreliable. And more to the point, if you take a similarly tuned 250 4-stroke, I guarantee it will be equally as, if not more UNRELIABLE than any 250 2-stroke!

I can't be bothered to argue about it, my time is too valuable to me.

As for "selling" Memberships. Yes, I do, but I don't make a living from it and it's not a requirement of being on the Forum, unlike some boards that I've visited (I.T. ones are probably the worst). Using the free area doesn't effect the quality of my technical input/replies either, in the same way that posting tech stuff in the Members area isn't guaranteed to get any additional info that wouldn't be posted in this section. The primary aim of the Members area initially is to get retailers involved to give subscribers discounts. As Fontyyy has pointed out several times, a Ti Membership discount could very easily be offset with an order to a Supporting Vendor.

The amount taken in Subscriptions this year has however covered the cost of running the Forum and Main Site for the first time in over 8 years. The banner ads are also NOT for mine or Charles's benefit. They ARE NOT paying advertisements. The companies have agreed to give Members discounts in return for the space and referrals when and where we can, which is why we don't have masses of advertising. I have actually turned away advertisers recently.
