10yrs a member and what I have given and got out of this forum?

Well! My ten year anniversary of membership of this awesome forum has just passed! What have I given, not a lot really, pics of our bikes general chit chat, a welcome to new members, a like to someones build and struggles, a Hi to friends I have made over the years! What has RATROD BIKES Given to me? It's inspired me! Motivated me! Let me know There are more crazy people just like me! Given me ideas! But most importantly its taken me around the world! Its taken me all over Europe! It's taken me to America! And the craziest thing is in 2 weeks I shall be best man to a Dutch man, @badmuller that I met on this forum on my very first visit to the site! I just want to doff my cap to everyone on here that keeps it real, keeps it polite, and keeps it fun! Here is to the next ten years!!! CHEERS!

 

Awesome update @Boris !

Pretty amazing how the internet has connected so many of us over the years.

Thanks for sharing that and happy 10th anniversary!

 

It's not the just internet, its cool people like yourself that take the time to create a place where we can all meet! I thank you for that ( From one Geordie to another!)

 

Congrats on 10 years of fun!
Best wishes to @badmuler on his upcoming nuptials too!
I am just a young kid at 7 years on RRB now, but I've gotten many of the same benefits you speak of.

CHEERS TO YOU!
CHEERS TO RRB!
CHEERS TO THE FRIENDS WE'VE MADE AROUND THE WORLD!

 

It's been 9 years I've been on here, and I agree it's one of a kind. Like a refuge or hideout.

Kingfish, might wanna check the batteries in the adding machine.

 

YEP!!!

 

Not really. I joined back in 2009, but didn't really post until the end of Build Off 6.

 

Meh, its alright here I guess ?
Don't really know how long I've been here ?

 

Since Feb 12, 2009.

 

That was A. Joke

 

It appears Steve sorta knew what he was doing when he created this place. (Smile)

Oh, and my grips company was formed because of it.

Thanks @Boris for posting and thanks to Steve for creating this place. I feel like I've found a place here too. The last 5 years have flew by. I've tried to build something in almost every build off since I got here. It can be expensive if you want it to be, but it doesn't have to be and that is one of the cool things about rats. I definitely agree that the bond between builders here is strong. It's cool to belong. Congrats to @badmuller too!

Next month will be my 8 yr anniversary of joining this forum. My first build off was BO #10, in 2015.

It has been a great 'ride', meeting many people, creating ideas together, and making friends along the way.

Here's to the year ahead of more of the same!
