Anyone one here any idea how Mike "The Ginger One" is? I know he hasn't joined here, but he was a bit of a regular on the old org, but if anyone has heard from him or knows how he is, would be interested to find out, as last I heard he was still rebuilding his 14.
i bump into him every now and then as he lives not far from me .
he knows about here but said he's not bothered about joining here.
he still goes south to see some of the old org folk who also haven't joined here either.
Ok, thanks buddy. Shame he's not bothered about joining here, but as you say, a number of others haven't either, which is their choice of course. Well next time you bump into him, please remember me to him, thanks
will do buddy
as well as any of the other of the old orgsters i meet .
I dont understand anyone who chose not to come here... OK i get loyalty i truly do.. But who and what are they being loyal too?? An admin who stole from the community? A failing site that wasnt fit for purpose? And whats wrong with here? The site works better than ever the old one did, the Admins are on top of everything 24/7, the knowledge base is fully up to scratch and the community of users is great.....
Remind me, what were there reasons again?????
Snobbery maybe???
Delusions of grandeur???
Self importance meter off the scale???
Clearly they all still keep in touch.. Clearly we are not good enough for them....
:facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:
Did i rant again???? shit, sorry......
Maybe they don't like the dress code?
or........could it be the 'tits n bums' free environment :admin: lol
they will re-register when they want to shift stuff OR have problems :whistling:
Place your bets, people :coffeescreen:

What like barmy did with his stuff on Facebook ?
Hahahahahaha yes tazzywazzywoooo is still here and shit stiring .....
Hat coat door byyeeeeee :clapping: :lol: :hat: :facepalm: :drool: :smitten:
this is the 3rd org ive been on since 2002 and i think it's the best not because of the obvious its great that we have top admin and the site is soo much more reliable but because its a whole world place filled with folk who like our bikes.
some will or have become friends but anyone from around the world can join in at any time.
as blubber said they may come back if they need something but we're already here living the dream. :soapbox:
Well said Seth I totally agree.
A credit to those that created and run this forum.
A mark of its success is the fact that there are over 700 members worldwide. :clapping:
I wasnt a big poster on the old org more research to see how too. There were a lot of posts about the issues folks had and about the admin not coming through and that did come across to someone reading as not the best - TBH I never had an issue on it except for some of the replies (not too me) that didn't come over well from someone with no experience asking questions
This place is a ray of sunshine - since its been running I've never noticed any nastiness - we all appear to be of a mature nature and willing to help - the banter is good with jibes where necessary but never seriously aimed
Its very easy to navigate with just enough thread names (if thats what you call them)
Well done to Admin Mods and all the members :clapping: :clapping: :clapping: :clapping:

Still here then Steve - ckearly - and that brilliant sense of humour which I miss.
As for Facebook - grrrrr.
I have the luxury of being ignorant (Quiet you lot!!).
Ignorant of the "old" forum..
I have only had my bike about a month and so by the sounds of it I am lucky not to have had the "pleasure" of the old forum.
I have been on many car and bike forums over the years and I can say that this is one of the better ones!
Thank you to all who contribute and give ACCURATE advice to the questions I have so far posted.
I commend this forum to the house. Lol

Yeah.. seriously.... sorry about that... :mwink: :facepalm:
All I have to say is
This place is the best I've been on and yes I was with the old site , but in my opinion this site works for the better and for the people in it , there is always some one here to help and advice you if you need it .. so wot if the other people don't won't to come here , fair play , don't come . Stay is a site that is totally inadequate for its purpose and lets the people down time after time so,,, come here to a top site that is always welcome to everyone in the world 🌎 we all love the 1402 and we love to help ,,,,,,that my friends on the family 1402 org ,,,, is the difference to the old org :notworthy:
MRg... couldn't have said it better myself! :onya:
