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.
I sold him a Spearfish once I think.
You do realise most of the forum is populated by a dozen people under different names...
Ermm, pretty sure I met you in the mess in akrotiri,
aye, I sold myself a bike once
Well, I say bike, it was a total piece of shit and I bummed my own dog in revenge
Doh forgot about that stu
I bought a Spearfish off him once
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.
are you sure it was his bike, people on here dont ride bikes, they dont even talk about them much,
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.
Hes an handsome ****er
the bike I've bought off of him looks to be in very good condition too.
Wrong size, though.
I bought a 29er of him three years ago...Still got it!
Top man!
🙄 
I once met Ringo's dog.

This made me laugh more than it should've
Just met my first forum dweller !!
Have you washed?
I've met forum members, but they don't know it.
I once saw singlespeedstu drink a litre of vodka with an hour 😀
I live next door to one.
😯
I'm in a live in relationship with one 😯
Most of the people I know I met through here.
Tom, it's your turn to put the bins out.
you mean you lot are real!?
i once sold someone off here a bike..... 😕
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.
I've stacked logs for one.
Think I may of met trailrat in passing.
Possibly.
Singlespeed stu has seen more of me than most folks. Don't think he's ever recovered

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.

😯
You've had dinner with DeadlyDarcy as well?
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.
Jeez- this post has made me realise how many bikes have been and gone in my time on here-how embarrassing !
Good to meet you Steve- I'm sure you will love the Horsethief
And taz- I will be out this weekend I promise!

Careless talk costs [s]lives[/s] reputation.
Still at least I know someone reads comments on here. I do wonder on some threads...
Not had a bad experience yet!
I've met all of you lot, it's just you don't realise it.
<that will get them guessing 😈 >

Are you the guy who dusts the spam bot servers?
Organise a forumite ride at Drumlanrig a while back. 8 or so of us all together, weird 😀
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? 😀

How long long time ago?
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. 😯
