So whos here that used to be here?

I visited a while ago and the forum template was black, I'm sure of it. Has everyone upped sticks and gone to facebook? The killer of all forums.

well

a few of the old faces are still around - i am certain you know the names

several not so old but still old faces about

and a fair bit of new blood who are still earning their falco vulture wings.....


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Ah but the thing is, mine says I joined 17 Dec 2006 but that's total cr@p cos if you're one of the old lot, that was just the date you rejoined when the forum was reincarnated for the nth time!

I reckon I joined originally..... ooh I dunno....... maybe 2000?

Yeah but joe's date is after the latest version of the forum opened.

The dates for many of the Aprilia crowd are not a real reflection as those of us who had been members of ApriliaRidersite all came across in early Jan 07 when the forums merged.

Aye..

There are a few of the old still kicking about Trix.. few and far between though and lives changing draw some away, to post once in a blue moon.

Sam is only here in spirit (Probably JD) having shuffled off his mortal coil last year in a truly epic effort to not have to do the cooking at last year's RS Rally.

Gio is about when he remembers what the funny flat vision and keypress machine in the corner of the living room is..

Obviously the ever lovely Bikergran is here.

The grumpy hobbit is here.. obviously cos im typing..

PaulH.. Falcopops.. TC... Sheebee.. Snappy...Laz.. XRJase

Aye.. a few. there'll be more too that ive forgotten.

It was.. black.. the default is the office friendly blue and creamy white as you see here.

we're also on FB although thats mainly a back up for here and to allow RS/ARS not to be totally left behind in the rush for 'likes' and 'shares'

Me sometimes, to be honest after all these years its got to be about once or twice a month at most, spend far more time on a bicycle than a motorbike as well, so what used to take an hour on the motorbike is all day on a bicycle lol
