Helmets have their own sticky. This topic is worthy of one as well. Here is latest thread in General:

Like dog threads, they usually end badly

As usual, if a user finds a topic tiresome they should just move on and find another thread to their liking.
Speaking of stickies, there was a unique feature of the Fifty-Plus Forum that IMO deserved a sticky:

What has captivated me most about Fifty-Plus beside the general milieu are (were) the Annual rides begun in 2010 up though last year. I have ridden in five of them, and have compiled the personal narratives of all the Rides on the thread,
"A Chronicle of the 50+ Annual Rides".
I myself think this so-called "way it used to be" ended with the Fourth Annual Ride in Tennessee. BTW, @billydonn [now deceased] was on that one
Another change IMO is the seeming disappearance of self-identified females from those good old days. Miss Kenton, Miss Jean, and Beverly come immediately to mind as the Women of Fifty-Plus, since I have met them all in person. I considered Miss K the
doyenne of the Forum with her savvy and witty posts

but it seems that the idea of Fifty-Plus Annual Rides has been waning recently…

there is a Fifty-Plus thread,
"A Chronicle of 50+ Annual Rides" that lists all the participants, venues, and postings of those gatherings.
It used to be a “sticky” but was mysteriously and unceremoniously dumped.
