YamahaIT.au forum? was created by JungleBiker
Does anybody know what happened to the Aussie based Yamaha IT site? There was a lot of great info over there, but the whole site seems to be gone now.

Update: I tried getting a hold of one of the guys who used to be a moderator over there and have had no reply thus far. I got onto the Internet Archive and the Wayback Machine and was able to find some of the site info, but each page has to be saved individually before you can look at it, which takes a lot of time if you don't know exactly how to get to exactly what you are looking for, and so far I think the newest info I have seen from there is dated 2019.
If anyone knows what happened to that forum, I'm still interested in knowing.

I don't know, but I can guess that the expense of maintaining the site was too much.
I rode a well modified, street legal IT490 in college. Nothing since has matched that bike. The idea that today's technology is

yes? Go on....
I never have figured out what happened to the YamahaIT.au site. I know that sometimes sites die, but usually not without a bunch of impassioned pleas for the members to get involved in supporting it, or warnings that the site was going to go away. In this case, it was just gone. It's a real loss as there was so much information over there.
