Chopper Charles cx500 site?

for those of you that have M.B.S. (multiple bike syndrome) and have the "silver wing" models.
as our sponsors also have supplies for those bikes and they are popular with the "wing" crowd.

Hell who knows ,,, they could be gone forever,,I'll be looking for another group.

They could all just join here as there is a page for cx/gl 500/650 owners .
The founder seems to be disgruntled ,,,,,,,They may just be having a tech problem or something but , hell who knows,,, I personally would like to see them move over here and make donations to this club. They seem to be unorganized at best. confused22

Pretty harsh statement...."unorganized at best"?

"Founder disgruntled"?

Not sure where you are getting your info, but it is not accurate, all is well at CC, just a little mtc going on at this free and
non advertising site.

Hi,

I am new here, but I wanted to say that the only reason the Chopper Charles forum went down is because the server change programs to be used and there is so much information on the CC forum that it crashed when they tried to transfer the old format to the new format.

Once Charles finds out how to transfer everything I don't see any problems for a long time. Charles is very interested in keeping the forum up and running, but her works about 60 hours a week and doesn't have a lot of time to spend on the website himself.

I am looking forward to seeing what this web site has to offer and I hope I can contribute some useful information here, as well as learn.

When we started this forum here we did not intend it to compete with Charles in any way.

I routinely send people there for in depth info on these great bikes.

I hope his new server set up works out well.

I'm pretty sure this is a temporary situation.

We've been through it too.

These Sites take a LOT of effort on the part of a lot of VOLUNTEERS.
