When was the first time........

I was instantly integerated, everyone loved me right from the off.

Actualy, I can't remember my real answer, I;ve been here so long. I just posted and posted and forced my existence onto everyone

I did feel more welcome when I met the soho lot a few weeks back

December 2001- September 2007 6 years not bad I'd guess

Well, since I joined I got to know the Essex bunch and a great bunch they are too - already knew Ping - we did our DAS together. But due to health probs I have been a bit on and off with biking and the .org - I have met a few others from Soho, and East Anglia but cant go to the ARs (ooeerr) due to health

plus...when you work for yourself you dont have time to sit and post on forums all day

so to sum it up I spose I feel quite at home in the Essex Lounge but still a bit of a nobody elsewhere

When I turned up at the Invasion of the Valleys later than everyone else, in the dark. It had just started to rain, I approached a pub and everyone started shouting my name to get my attention. Made me feel very welcome.

Had posted plenty before then but the face-to-face aspect made it a more personal experience.

Cheers Mark.

Probably 2004 when I'd not long had an SV and I started going out with people on rideouts, then out with them socially (which I still do). I've made a lot of good friends through here, so even though I'm not really part of it anymore, I'll always love this site.

For me I felt at home pretty much from day one everyone has always been lovely and friendly and that's what I've come to expect from the .org and carry on that tradition if I can.

However there are always some special memories of members of this place and one of them is when I had to move to london from Bristol knew no one here and was to be honest petrified of the place. Friday night after college I went down to Soho walked around the courner to be met with a sea of faces that I knew from the AR and suddenly felt at home and that this daunting city wasnt so bad after all.

Why thank-you!! We are planning to go to the AR08 as well.... tea, coffee anyone!
Until then hopefully we'll be able to join you on some of the penine massive rideouts now the weather's getting a bit better - not that I'm a fair weather rider!!!!
