No, it's the thread where I've written "This was the second forum I joined, out of a total of four. I haven’t been on the Skoda forum in ten years; I’m on another bike forum but only log in maybe once a month; and, I’m on a watch forum.

I was never on a news group
."

I'm quite widely known as this forum's biggest Apple fan boy and have been for years. You need to get checked for the onset of dementia.
Er, you need to get checked for dementia.........

Anyone else remember the days before forums..?
The days when you joined a 'news group', logged on the interweb with you 4k modem, down loaded the days activity then logged off..
Read what you wanted to read, made comments, logged back on and uploaded to the newgroup...

How things have changed !

Thats a blast from the past, I used to be on the uk rec motorcycles group, was quite good we used to go on many a ride out organised on that group... we even posted links to our photo's of the trips. I had a 1.3 mega pixel digital camera that cost me £300 back then. The pictures would take an age to appear. We had a 14400 modem then

I asked if you were drunk cos you tagged my post as bad spelling yet every word was correctly spelled.

Anyhoo, you should bail on the EU and go back to your Punts and, um, whatever the coins were called.

I didn't tag as bad spelling - unless by mistake

Sadly I have never been to Kent, all the rides we (even my missus went as pillion back then) went on were North of Manchester. Most of the participants were from the Liverpool Manchester area. One name I half remember was Killer Hedgehog or Killa Hedgehog, his GF was in the RAF and got an R1 when they first came out (think he rode a Thundercat). Another lad was Chris Shalcross or summat (Aprilia 125 but he did upgrade??) I have an old hard drive somewhere with all the old photos on.. don't suppose I will ever see em again..

Found it.
Don't know how that happened.
Apologies.:)
I didn't consciously do it.

Just looking now - probably hit it as I was scrolling.
