Two Stroke Motocross has a New Owner!!
« on: December 06, 2010, 03:39:56 PM »
Hi Guys,

As I'm sure some of you have noticed, there is a new Administrator for the forum, his name is Charles Owens.

Both the Web site and forum have been sold to Charles, along with all the properties associated with the sites.

I made the decision to sell based on many personal reasons. It was a difficult to let it go, as I've met so many wonderful people here.

I will be around and drop by from time to time. Of course I'll help Charles with anything he asks for or needs.

Charles has some amazing plans to take the site to the next level. I for one can't wait to see them! Please show him the same loyalty and respect that you have been so kind to share with me.

Thank you so much for all your support over the past 3 years.

Best Regards,
John


Life is short.

Smile while you still have teeth!

Sorry to see you go John :'(
You've created one of the most respectful,informative and fun sites out there.Hopefully your future plans don't include the creation of "Fourstroke Motocross"  ;)

I just had a thought,you stated you talk directly to Maico International and have now freed up some time.You're going to work for them aren't you.If so,I'll take a 125 test bike please :D

Holy Balls!  I guess this means that John isn't "The Bawss" anymore...  I can't even wrap my head around that, it doesn't compute.


Is this Maico a 440 or only a 400?  Well in all the confusion, I forgot myself.
But considering this is a 1978 Magnum, the best-handling bike in the world, you have to ask yourself one question.
Do you feel lucky, punk?

Thanks John,

  Through TSM you brought together people from every corner of the globe with a common interest in, and love of, motorcycles. You know that we are going to hold Charles to the same (impossibly) high standards that you set. Good luck in your next endeavor.

 P.S. Sure you wouldn't reconsider?

Congrats Charles and I am anxious to see what your plans for the site are!
