When I type in ICOA (search), a bunch of banking, investment and stock market
listings show up. I have to scroll way down before I find CBX Owners Assoc.
When I clicked on that post and translated to English, It appears to be some Saudi
investment firm advertisement. The guy likely thought this site was related to that
arena, international banking. I hope that's all it is !? :o

I don't know how they got in. However, I've deleted he poster and his posts. There have been a bit of a rash, lately, of hacker trying to register. No one from Turkey, however. Not to say that it can't be done. I'll be watching. Thanks for the notes.. I just signed in and saw the posts.

Either garage is too small or we have too many bikes. Or Momma's car needs to go outside.
