Hello BB, yes thanks - still in Shropshire, spending far too much time on the M40, considered moving but I can't afford a house down south - it may be that we move even further south in the next few years once daughter leaves college, so no point in moving twice. Back running half marathons, will go for another full one again soon. Present ride's a 2010 Sprint ST1050, black, here's me on it as TEC on a ride I did last summer.

Nice pic with interesting perspective.Is that a giant cone by your back wheel?

[Ed]

Those on here who remember AR2005 (organised by Steve Jelly) will vaguely remember where this pic was taken - leaving the Little Chef on the A40 roundabout at Burford. I was cracking the throttle to follow group 1 as a mate took the piccy, we had a great ride up to Fish Hill and then all over the Cotswolds, an epic ride that was. That red thing - the cones hotline weren't interested:D

Given the very small number of replies to this thread I'm guessing that I'm an embarrassment, so I will save the blushes. If anyone wants me I'm on FB as Ed Austin. For those who don't know me and are wondering, I buggered off nearly 3 years ago after many happy years for what I considered at the time to be very good reasons, and I still do consider them to be very good reasons, and well it's best to keep moving forwards, so I'll sign off.

Bisous a tous, et bonne nuit.

Have I missed something :confused:

[tigersaw]

me too, used to like Eds house modification threads

[Fordward]

The number of replies is down to the average longevity on this forum, not because you are an embarrassment. Take a random thread and look at the majority of users joining dates, the majority of people who use this forum regularly wouldn't really know who you are. You have a PM on FB about house prices.

3YEARS AGO!!!!!!!! By eck, I am getting old. Didn't realise it was that long ago. Time flies when you get old dunnit?

[Biker Biggles]

Times change.Org is a different place now with many of the old guard gone or rare visitors.Newer members have different interests and uses for the site,and the SV is not such a big seller anymore.Nothing stands still.

[Fordward]

Yep, I agree 100%

The SV650 is by and large a younger persons bike, easy to restrict (and still performs OK when you do), cheap to buy, cheap to insure, known as a good first big bike. The forum has attracted new younger blood. The old guard have only gotten older. Sometimes that is incompatible as outlooks are different, maturity levels are different, opinions and attitudes are different, and tolerance levels are different. I'm regular on another motorbike forum nowadays where the average age is over 40 and have none of the problems I used to have on here. Debates are debates, not arguments. Differing opinions are exactly that, not seen as personal attacks on the person who posted a different opinion, and therefore not inviting or deserving of an aggressive response, and older people take a little more time to think before responding anyway and are generally calmer when they do.

A forum is what it is because of the people who use it, the dynamics on this forum have changed, and are no longer what the old guard knew and loved. You either change with it, or you get out, and many have chosen just to get out.

sounds like a mountain out of a molehill to be honest, I think we have a tendency to read too much into these things. The forum feels much as it always has for me, sure the people change on and off but that's to be expected with any group.

I still like it here, always have :-)

btw. Good to hear from you again Ed! You still a regular visitor to Liverpool these days?

That was what people said when Ed left, but it wasn't about a mountain, it was about too many molehills.

you've lost me. Anyhow, I don't want to drag something up that is past history. I don't take things too seriously on here or generally.

Party on dudes.

[Mrs DJ Fridge]

Party on indeed, we tend to dip in and out of the forum as time allows, meaning if we spend too much time on here we back off and regain our life a bit, are not all forums a little fluid this way?

[admin]

Nice to hear from Ed again. As others have said, plenty of water has since flown under the bridge. Embarrassment, why would you even think that?
