And you are?                                                                                                                                                                              

Squashy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx did u miss me                                                                                                                                                                               

Was up hudderfield way over the weekend with a different bike forum,we were camping at the carriage house,Marsden,did the matlock bath run on the saterday got bloody soaked but it was a great weekend twenty bikes in all.
....Nick.
                                                                                                                                                                             

  kwak i've spoken to a few 'old faces' this past couple of weeks and they've all said it's getting too much like FB and not enough about bikes anymore    So the regulars haven't gone over to FB then Rusty? Not sure what is meant by BM is getting too much like FB. When I used to be on FB it was mainly teenagers leaving messages for each other full of cuss words. One of the reasons I quit it, too juvenile for me.    As for 'not enough about bikes', this is a site for bikers to meet up and socialise, are you telling me that most bikers only ever want to talk about, and read about, bikes?  No wonder they're single lol  J/K   Totally                                                                                                                                                                                 

This conversation happens on a regular basis, people evolve new faces join old ones leave for a variety of reason.

I agree with Shell there has been a lot of stuff happening recently which i think is great, more camping less one day ride outs i agree.

I have looked at my calendar and since end of May i have had an event every weekend since and goes right upto end of Sept (blimey no wonder i'm knackered lol)

But the forums will be thick and fast once the crap weather joins us

Totally agree with you Jackie,  as in past trends alot of 'newbies'  join during the winter months.   As for the original title.. whatever happened to....      I think some of the 'original' members still check in now and again and I have seen a few 'old  faces' out and about, some have said they will be re-joining, probably because the winters coming and they won't be out and about as much.                                                                                                                                                                                 

 'not enough about bikes'

kwak I think they meant there's a lot of crap threads on here now!                                                                                                                                                                              

the crap threads are for the likes of me  who  doesn't actually own a bike so can't talk bollocks about them                                                                                                                                                                               

Some people also talk alot of crap about bikes as well. It takes all sorts and I think alot of the ladies arn't that interested in the workings of motorcycles. I'm quite happy to give advice if somebody is having problems but I joined to meet like minded people and widen my circle of friends.
So bring on the bike chat and the crap chat aswell

See I told you there was a load of crap on here Anne 

Maybe Matt should put a crapometer box at the end of each new thread so people can vote 

                                                                                                                                                                             

  So why don't those who find the topics crap post some interesting topics of their own?   Altho I am glad others are getting out and having a life, I'd be doing the same if I had the chance, I'm sad cos I'm stuck in, almost 24/7, so the rides out are the only way I can get out, if someone is kind enough to give me a lift.     Ironic really, that I deal with the events calendar yet rarely go anywhere.   (I'll be ok when I find where my dummy went when I spat it out)                                                                                                                                                                                   

Well I came back, apart from Matt I can honestly say I was here before the site went live,gone of a few times when things have gone quiet but thought I'd come back to see what was going on.

& there's a a fair few new attractive girls I've noticed too
