Coming up on 9 years I guess this coming February 2 since one night I decided to search for domain names, and realized DO THE TON hadn't been snapped up by some Brit just yet. Was a surprise, given it was 2007, not 1997. So I registered the domain at GoDaddy, paid the fees and downloaded the free forum platform that my other fave motorcycle forum www.SOHC4.net was using. I had always wanted to have a website, so figured I'd give it a shot.
Few hours later and www.dotheton.com was on the air and the first few members started signing up. Ian, Noel, Ryan and others from the local Toronto vintage motorcycle scene.
Crazy thing is even with 12000+ posts, I still don't stand a chance of catching VonYinzer (Mike) who is at 17000 and counting.
Only 594 members joined in the 11 months the site was up in 2007, but it caught on after that.
