From SBN admin"


I am so sorry guys.. This server cannot handle the amount of traffic you guys are giving it.. This was the main reason for shutting down.

We have no where to go. I tried to turn it on but it causes so much traffic that this box cant handle it. I am sorry I tried though.

I really dont know what else do to.

If your looking for another website.. try http://www.sportbikes.ws, http://www.sportbikeworld.com, or http://www.gixxer.com.

All have open arms and would like you to be a member on the site. I am very sorry but I just dont have anywhere to go with the site.

I am not trying to turn it back on right now for sportbikes.net to be up.. but i was trying to get people able to get there PM's and contacts..

I am very sorry. I will try to make some more calls to see if I can get it on something just so you guys dont loose your contacts.

Just so the rumor mill doesnt go crazy. I am not turning on the website to be back up. I am just doing it so people can get there messages and contacts.

I will no longer run Sportbikes.net even if I hand the keys to someone else to run. But they have to show they have a box, bandwith and everything that is needed

for the site. And believe me I dont think anyone wants to have the bill this site has.

Bike was alright, if the stator cover didn't mash into a million pieces and spew oil everywhere I could have rode home probably. I had it back up a month later, crashed again due to improperly bled front brakes which caused me to endo over and faceplant. Then the bike got stolen a day after that, it wasn't a good time But I got another 929 about 3 months later...

Yea no doubt, even tho I wasn't on it much as of late, I still made a lot of friends through that site that I still have. Just got an email from Fred that went out to all the (now former) mods of the site, kinda sad to hear
