As title just met my first forum person, Pop Larkin.

Totally nice bloke and the bike I've bought off of him looks to be in very good condition too.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Cheers.

Steve.

You do realise most of the forum is populated by a dozen people under different names...

My daughter's pink Ridgeback previously belonged to theotherjonv's daughter. There was a dodgy exchange of bike for cash in Trowell services one dark winter night....

Pfft - I think we've all met Pop haven't we?

I [i]think[/i] it was a Specialized Tricross I bought off him a few years back.

I once knew a bloke, who knew another bloke, that rode SS'ers, who over took a bloke on another SS'er, who then proceeded to strip off his jersey whilst riding along a trail, who then over the bar'ed whilst holding on with one hand sticking his tongue out.

Cool eh.

Jesus, wouldn't trust that pop fella, he's shonky as hell, and he doesn't like riding in mud, or tree roots, he's practically lance Armstrong he's so dodgy.

Talking to your neighbours? That's not the STW way!

There are definitely more forumites know me than the other way around. I think working in The Bike Chain had something to do with that. I only met Trail Rat for the first time a few weeks ago which was a bit weird as it seems we've known each other much longer.

I assume there's a large group of folk round Hebden know each other. And the MNPR crowd?

I'm pretty sure there's at least three or four from my regular riding group on here but I have no idea at all who they are and none of them has called me out yet (too embarrassed to admit knowing me?).

I am 99% sure there is one user who I know through a university friend and have done quite a few weekends riding with in the past.

There are a couple of others from dates/random comments that I reckon I probably knew at Southampton uni a long long time ago.

I've seen bits of tazzy that no man should ever have to see.
Even after drinking a liter of vodka in an hour I still can't get rid of the image.

Careless talk costs [s]lives[/s] reputation.

Still at least I know someone reads comments on here. I do wonder on some threads...

My girlfriend is still somewhat bemused that I bought her a second hand Prince Albert in a car park in Slough from a stranger off the internet. She only ever refers to it as The Prince.

I thought it was mandatory once someone knows you on STW to delete your account and create a new one under a new name?
For example [s]Goldigger[/s] Goldigger2 who would know? 😀

I was totting up how many forumite's I have met - at least 20 I could call by first name, and likely another 20 out on trails and got chatting kind of a way.

Scarily I have had three forumites walk or ride up to me and say 'are you matt_outandabout...?' on three different days. 😯
