Blimey Cap'n I didn't realise that things were so bad for you.

I am truly sorry thast you feel like this but then again you have made a rod for your own back by keeping the forum going, (which is great I mght add ) and not getting the forum members to stump up more money.
I do not doubt that most of the members have an XT as a toy, not for work, just for pleasure and if they value the work that you do then they need to stump up some dosh and keep this valued facility running.
I know form the last meeting Darn Sarf that you still have an interest in the forum and the expertise to keep it going.
Can you outline an ultimatum to what we need to keep this going?
I really value the work that you do and I might add if you do retire it might give you just a little something to keep you interested in bikes.
Can you please work out a figure that we need to come up with to keep this forum going. Whatever it is I for one will promote this and try and get other forum members to donate as the �10 membership per year is quite palty for working persons.
If at the end of the day members aren't bothered then it's tough on them and they will lose all the information that has been accrued over the years about these bikes.
If they do not respond to this thread then tough on them. I know all I need to know about this bike, but newer members might feel now prompted to keep the forum going to help them with future problems.

Keep us informed big fella. I'm gonna push this and try and take some of the pressure off you.

Cheers Steve
