       Finally back on ADV!

       Hey all,
       ADV banned me two years ago for starting this site and telling
       folks about it on ADV.
       After a determined emailing campaign by myself and several
       members of this forum, THAT BAN HAS FINALLY BEEN LIFTED.
       I would like to send a huge thanks to those of you who contacted
       ADV on my behalf.
       I would also like to thank ADV for listening and welcoming me
       back to the asylum. 8)
       There are some ADV haters out there.  Despite my grievance with
       being booted, I was never one of them.  ADV is a terrific source
       of info and I urge all members of this forum to join ADV as
       well.  I still feel that this forum is the single most useful
       (and user friendly) resource for owners of the 690Enduro (due to
       YOUR contributions, of course)....
       ...but ADV is an essential portal to the broader world of
       adventure motorcycling.
       Again, my many thanks,
       Rusty Shovel

       They banned you! Wow that's pretty intense from my pov.
       Funnily enough, I'm banned from there as well. In my case I was
       contacted by the computer crime division of the Australian
       police. They'd sprung a person from the east coast of australian
       who had been working very hard at identity theft of a few
       people. One being myself with a fair amount of info gathered
       from advrider.
       I asked the moderators to unjoin me...and found out it couldn't
       be done!! Only thing they could do was ban me and block access
       to me profile. I had a couple of days sitting at the pc deleting
       pics and details and posts I'd put on.
       I still read stuff, but haven't really felt the urge to rejoin.
       I think this forum satisfies my Ktm social media/information
       needs

       Well done ..are you talking about ADV rider ?
       I have been banned from the French BMW  1200 GS forum when I had
       too may troubles with BWM and so make a lot of critics . I
       finally moved to KTM bike and forum...well no regret  ;D ;D ;D
       ;D ;D

       In the Joe Mamma section of ADVrider, I made the mistake of
       taking a stance against the cartels in Mexico. I linked to a
       hidden camera in the AZ desert, filming highly armed nationals
       with night vision smuggling tons of drugs into America. I
       mentioned a rather violent way of dealing with them and that was
       all it took....Banned for life! Not 30 days or a slap on the
       wrist, but a full on life long ban.
       Joe Mamma is basically the free for all section where everyone
       eventually turns into a donkey's rear end. More arguing and put
       downs than any othe forum I've ever seen. I had over 1500 posts
       and a lot in the mechanical sections for the 990 adventure plus
       ride reports.
       I'm still banned 6+ years later. Pleading emails did nothing.  I
       still view it every day following my fav epic ride reports.
