hi folks, just like to say, a huge thanks to everyone who i have got to know on line on bm, however i have decided to leave the site when my subscrition expires in two weeks, for a few months, i am not going into the whys and wheres, but i would like to thank matt for the few genuine people i have got to know, and you know who you are and we will keep in touch, take care all, have fun and ride safe.....bye for now

Best of luck and see you back soon...you can't get rid of us that easily!                                                                                                                                                                             

Hey you!

Don't tell me i've got to put that *kin tent back in the shed again? I thought you were coming out to play in September!!

You'll still be welcome mate no matter what you're up to so keep in touch through the site if not on it, good luck Ian
                                                                                                                                                                             

thanks rk, i aint going into the politics, just need a break will pm you                                                                                                                                                                             

U will be missed Ian, dont stay away 2 long xxx                                                                                                                                                                             

Ian mate, why??   We've met a couple of times now and you're a nice bloke.  It would be a shame if you left.   I've seen other posts on other threads and I know that anything that you may have felt was petty or aggressive wasn't in any way intended as such.  I know this because I know the people involved very well, they're good mates of mine and I can promise you that I'm only good mates with people I believe are genuine.   So give it another shot buddy and hang around for a bit longer at least.  As I've said to you before, come along to a couple of BM meets and you can meet these people for yourself and see how genuine they are.                                                                                                                                                                             

where we gonna get the drivel from now??                                                                                                                                                                             

Ian.. having spoken to you, I think I know your reasons, I'm not going to beg you to stay, but as Geoff says, certainly all of the people that have been on the 'Thanks' thread are genuinely good people and like Geoff, I certainly wouldn't be friends with them if they weren't.   Let's stop the bickering.  As its been stated before, there are many many occasions where events etc have occurred and only certain people have attended and the people involved have discussed it.... why should anyone one get upset about us talking about the good time we had?   If people weren't there, then so what?  sorry if that sounds harsh, its not meant to ...its just a bit tiresome when we have to justify something like that?   So please don't take offence, as for being agressive, I think you have interpreted that that wrong way..     As always the written word can be misinterpreted and often is.   The best way to get to know people is to meet them, and get to know them  properly.     You say you are not renewing your subs...   you still have 2 weeks to change your mind, why don't you just take a step back, rethink and chill.   * This is not an attack on you, just me putting my two penneth in..agen*                                                                                                                                                                                  

I totally agree with Geoff on this on Ian, you're a nice bloke and it would be a great shame if you were to leave.  Naturally you have your reasons, but hurry back (if you do decide to leave) 'cos we will miss you (honestly).                                                                                                                                                                             

kaz, i was not referring to your gang of people you went away with, i am just taking the back seat, i am not going to air feelings on the post, only to say thanks to friends.                                                                                                                                                                             

Can i have yr karma???                                                                                                                                                                              

ok.. sorry if I got that wrong..   bad case of misinterpretation again.   Think all this rains soggied mi brain! lol   You know me..owt for a quiet life.. so I aint saying no more.... maybe.. possibly..probably...   ohh I'm female ffs.. gotta have mi say now and agen!!  lol                                                                                                                                                                             

We had a great time and you weren't invited nah nah na nah nah!

One word...........sensitivity

I don't know any of you peeps but I can imagine that people who do and didn't get an invite might be feeling a little put out. Surely that's understandable??

Nuff said
                                                                                                                                                                             

Oh RK!!!  behave..!!   This particular thread is about Ian's choice not to renew his subs!!   Grrrrr..... somebody gaffa tape mi fingers!!  lol    Reet..clarify.. Ian wishes not to renew his subs..for reasons he wishes not to disclose, I presume then, that this thread is for people to wish him luck etc... so best we don't keep bickering about 'other things'   RK... consider your danny's slapped!  and stop hijacking this thread!  lol                                                                                                                                                                               

aw Ian pls come back soon , i will plump the cushions and give the throne a tickle with me feather duster now and again, whilst you are awayI`ve really enjoyed chatting to you and hope that we still get to meet up at some point.                                                                                                                                                                             

aaaww Ian, been there done that and come back again and here I am thinking you're just down the road, seem pretty harmless, a bit barmy but would be good to meet for rideouts as and when the weather and time allows!  Then I find out you're off for a while!!!  As I recall last time, there will always be the mad/bad/sad or down right aggravating individuals on here as well as out there in real life but gotta ignore/say your bit or simply just develop thick skin!!!  As a former mod on here, I often saw and heard more than I wanted to but Matt runs a good safe site and in general, the ppl and the content is brill!!! Anyway, your choice although alot of ppl echoing how much they will miss you.  If you wish, it would still be nice to have the odd rideout as and when but take care and all the best whatever your reasons and what you choose to do.
