Hello Again :-)
Permalink  

Hello again, hopefully some of you will remember me from years past wink  Thanks to Harty for reactiviating my old account, I popped in here a few weeks back just lurking and noticed what I thought was my old KTM!  Anyway, I'll post about that in the relevant thread.

Hope you're all well and enjoying the lanes.

Hello again to be sure!

Oddly enough your name was mentioned in conversation not that long ago and I was asked what happened to you. I said road bikes biggrin

Oh god, I can only imagine how that conversation went.  Yes, that's right, back into road bikes, but interestingly having a lot of discussions recently about a return to the dirt, although that's unlikely as my budget won't stetch to that!  Hope you're well Brian.

Welcome back Hoops, come on matey,  you know a dirt bike needn't cost much,, you know it makes sense wink.

BTW, your pads are still saving my old knackered knees biggrin.

I'd love one, there's been lots of talk about it, but on the back burner now (not least of all for convincing SWMBO).  Glad the knee guards are still of use!  Take it easy  smile

Well, did a couple of lanes last night in the dark, I need some practice blankstare  No offs, no badgers, but came close once (if there wasn't a high bank I'd have been over!).  First time in nearly 3 years - apart from a couple of outings on my Explorer - that I've ridden a green lane!  Onwards and upwards as they say wink

Lack of time on my part, and DTRF is not how I remember it, albeit that the usual helpful core still remains wink

Sorry Dan! Maybe in a few year's time when I get another dirt bike wink  Other than that, there's always road bikes

Care to expand on this Hoops ? 
Its always good to receive feedback and learn ....
Perhaps we can address things that might have got taken for granted ?
You've done a lot for DTRF over the years.
It would be a shame to loose all contact.

Change is the only thing that remains constant Pete .......

I guess some might feel that things were better in the past but a period of time away and then returning could create an expectation?

If your main interaction with DTRF is through this forum, then you will probably be aware that all forums are cyclical and go through periods of growth and buzz with energy and at other times folk get a bit circumspect and hold off posting.

Its through the efforts of the collective that we have the network we have and the respect of the PRoW folk though, so it would be good to identify any disillusion and ideas to remedy before any negative cycle gets legs.

 On a positive note the CRM started fourth kick today after it's latest rebuild, sounds sweet and I am well pleased.

Just got to run it in now, again, then I'm looking forward to getting out on some rides.

 I think you hit the nail on the head there, Noel.  Change isn't always bad, it's just always different wink
