dabz's toys leave the pram

[R1chie]

When I joined this forum I had zero experience of all the do's and don't's of forum life. On occasion I made the odd faux pas and got flamed but I'm a big boy and can take it. What made me interested in WB was that it is a community style forum and not bike specific. I can take the BMW jibes, after all, 20 years ago I would never have dreamed one day I would own one. But I don't want to discuss my bike particularly on this forum - it's irrevelant and I participate in other forums for that purpose. In retrospect I wish I could change my nickname to something more creative but hey ho. I wasn't going to post on this forum that my bike was rear-ended last week since it happened in a carpark and I wasn't anywhere near it at the time, but I will use the BMW tech forums with any fixing help I may need for that. But we should all wish BB, Steev and Icey well after their recent experiences because life is precious and isn't that more the point of this forum?

Of the few meetings I have been able to join, it's been enjoyable, friendly and worthwhile. I'm sure many of the comments made so easily on a computer keyboard wouldn't be made face to face and that's why the meets are so important to take the sting out of some of the more personal remarks that are so easily made in cyberspace.
Taking the ACE cafe run as an example - how many other 'clubs' that went that day could boast such diversity? It's that very diversity which results in the odd clash on the forum, but it's worth fighting through all that for all the good things WB can provide.

Phew. Looked more like a 'blowing hot air' icon and that I had offended again.

Graeme, you can change your screen name within your profile to say just Graeme if you want.

[Snowy]

Thanks Scott - done! Now I won't get any stick from anyone will I? ;D ;D

[Scott_W]

No worries Graeme. As for the stick, well, we'll see on that!

[Snowy]

OK Blue you got me - why Condalisa?
