I remember being stuck at work on Christmas Eve on my todd, and being bored and contemplating my first big bike purchase and coming across this place...

I didnt really use the forum again till I was about to make a purchase and asked for buying advice, then I had trouble with the alarm and got some more help and then lurked about reading for ages.

Didnt really feel part of the community till I started posting in one of the very first megathreads.

I remember my first org rideout ( a very wet trip around wales ) Where I met Jabba and Dr Rich for the first time. My first trip to Poole Quay sticks in my mind as well. As does the Yeovil IB Night out ( that IMHO we'll never come close to matching again in terms of drunk hilarity ) The Bournmouth trip and Liz's BBQ for obvious reasons as thats when we got together.

I never really got a scale for the size of the forum till I went on my first AR in 2006, It still surprises me now the size and diversity of the community we have built up over the years...
