Hello? (Hello? Hello? Hello?)
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me
Is there anyone home?
Or should that say 'is there anybody out there?'
And don't just nod, acknowledge please :)
Apparently there are 54 active members, most I see on here are about a dozen, so who are the rest? Identify yourself :cool:
Hello there , I'm still ere :cool:, it is a bit of a ghost town these days though .
I’m here, keep poking my head in to see what’s occurring.
Coooeee :D
I’m yer too.
I was so bored yesterday that I hoovered !
I didn’t really think you’d want to hear about that.
Admittedly the domestic chore aberration was in between a couple of wall shaking Hi-Fi sessions :cool:
(Well the neighbours were out. Boots filled)
I did test run the Major’s bike up the road yesterday afternoon just before dark. Brrrrrr......

So that's four of us, just another 50 to flush out, :)
Even more worrying is that I’m almost pleased I did it & think it was a job well done :eek::eek:Quote:

I am here generally checking in every few days, good post to get people talking. No hoovering for me, actually a bit of DIY took the Velux windows out as needed to clear moss off the surround. Never knew they came out until checking youtube, still scary as you need to feed out then back in......did not drop them....phew.
Hope everyone is well, looking forward to the warm weather returning, noticed the roads as being salted and gritted already.....not good for the bikes.
Yep, still about but havent been out on the bike for a while tho, so not much to report. Been working away quite a lot recently, but have managed to fab up a go pro camera mount for my track bike, so looking forward to getting a bit of footage next year. Also sprayed up a new front mudguard for the tb, quite pleased with the results :)
Now that is worrying. I suggest a lie down in a darkened room for a while.Quote:

Ooops I check in every few days but never been that active (on here or in life generally), must do better :rolleyes:
I'm sure we are all getting less active after this year, Trev. Fingers crossed for next year :cool:Quote:

I'm somewhere but not sure where. Still clocking up plenty of cold wet miles on the bloodbikes (very Q this weekend but still 400+ miles)
Well done on the bloodbikes front mate, you and your colleagues are hero's in my eyes. :cool:Quote:

Looking forward to getting up to Scotland in the Spring, weather and Covid allowing.Quote:

I lurk :)
Must meet up some time, when all this madness is over :cool:Quote:

Me! Me! Me! (That’s just one of me Judy) I check in frequently, contribute to a post if I have anything to add, but lament the lack of forum traffic. The good ol’ days of 2010-2012 when the forum was really buzzing seem like a lifetime ago, almost a different world. I’m not alone in pining for that kind of community and energy. Have all those formerly active members given up biking or just been corrupted by the dark side (Faceboke)? Chicky and I regularly meet up with a bunch of former members (Gerry (though he appears on here sporadically), CharleyX, Viking, Caz, Snowy, Lucinda, Jaydee) but those guys communicate primarily via FB. Maybe that’s where everyone else has ended up...
I think FB Groups were the killer for any forum busyness sadly. Those of us who shun FB are in the minority
I was shopping last week in Salisbury and the lady in the shop said I could enter a competition on their FB page to win a full refund and when I said I’m not on there she was so amazed she called another assistant over and told her who was equally surprised. I felt like pointing out it’s not actually compulsory (yet) :rolleyes:Quote:

Just about sums it up really. :rolleyes:Quote:
