Recently some words have been had between some parties that I really don't think were in the spirit of this community. In response, here is my list of really cool people that I've met through this web site.

Great people to buy things from:

Bob at Chainreaction Moto (Oldsquid)
Wayne at Tuneboy
Whoever I dealt with at TechSpec (I think it was Peter?)
Brent at Newspeed3.com
PJ and MotoMinx at PJ's Parts
kuhlka, for his SAI plates
Whoever it was that was very helpful to me at Pipecity.com
The whole crew down at Cascade Moto Classics: Too many to list.
And anyone else who I forgot.

Then, some awesome people I've met on this site:

Legman- I'm going to come visit you someday, buddy. Lock up the women and hide the fried chicken!

Devious2xs- If there's one person on this board that doesn't owe you for your hard work I'll eat my hat. I don't have a hat. I'll buy a hat.

R100 pilot- I think it's a law that there must be a crazy BMW nut on every forum. Thanks for the memories and the tunes.

Australia- I'll lump Bucket and Amberale and all the rest into this. Why is it that all the real jerks come from the USofA, and everybody from down under are good people?

Avi8tor- Malta? Anybody that lives in Malta deserves a mention.

Monkeyhanger- Word. Points for most obscure name. Funny how it fits you.

Rudeboy- Always appreciate your viewpoint, whatever that is.

kuhlka- Always something good to add and a good source for ideas. thespeedtriple.com can be attributed to you, but we won't hold that against you.

Tonup- Helps keep us in tune to the real reason we ride. Yes, I've kept up to my commitments. 100+ every time I ride!

TripleRider- Along with some other brothers in blue, keeping our streets safe and never getting enough credit.

3853- Same deal as TripleRider. Thanks guys.

Great Buddha, there's too many. This could go on all night. Raise a glass to the whole crew.


Even Cheapbastard and Limey.

:chug: :chug: :chug: :chug: :chug:

Thanks for that crash,i made the list.I must say all the Australian members i have met are all top blokes and the ones i haven't all sound like top blokes too.Why do all the good people come from downunder you say "CAUSE WE F*#KING DO ALRIGHT" Would be great to have a worldwide party with all the people you mentioned and everyone else who participates in the posts without causing too much shite. :-D :hammer:

Is that a swan song Crash?? You're not checking out are you??
Oh no! Just sitting here and saw an exchange between members that made me sad. Yeah, I officially renounced my manhood for a minute or so. Although, you probably won't hear much from me until next weekend. :(

Bucket, that would be the most fantasticest thing in the world, but I think it would be a pretty big challenge logistically. Some of us (myself included) just don't have the resources for a trip like that.

Now, the end of August or beginning of September is the best time to ride around here and we have fantastic roads and scenery. If some of you should just happen to show up I'm sure a party could be had! :-D

Nicely written Crash. I know you lot must be good blokes cos ya all ride Trumpies.

Not flaming anyone, but I guess its riding the hooligan bike makes you/us (this group overall not you personally Crash) seem a little more intense, as the Sprint guys do seem a little more laid back :)

Maybe it's cos there's more Aussies there :pkit: (ducking)

Anyway thanks for posting, it's good to see some one reminding everyone that this is a social site, to enjoy each others common interests and differences.

Have a ball dudes, enjoy the ride and keep the rubber side down!

I second brent @ newspeed3 and bob @ chain reaction!

Just ordered a few items from brent and there was a mix up on the fender eliminator i ordered.... no problem sending it back for the right part. And bob.... I havnt even bought his pipes yet.... but he's gone out of his way to answer all my little questions. If only I would get my W-2s so I could get my refund under way! (guess where its going!)

s3hooligan added to the list.

And Kwajazz

And Attackpug for the unutterable gall of trying to frighten us with a pug.

And Zooplancton... or however you spell that!

Ruscook can be on the list too, if he let's me ride his TDM 900.

Thanks for putting me on the list. I'm not the host of thespeedtriple.com, though. That'd be catahoulabulldog. Awesome guy, but very busy. I AM however an admin and have been known to magically turn Ducatis into shiny red tricycles, guahahahaaa!

This site is great, a good substitute if you havn't been able to ride for a month due to the weather, or an injury, or even a crash. And when bike is down , there's no better place to go for information on getting it up and running again. Ya'll don't even know, Next week or so i'll be tearing into mine to check (hopefully it'll all be in spec) my valve clearances. There'll be dumb question after dumb question posting up on here. I think i'll do a detailed how to posting with pictures and all, it'll either be a how to or a how not to.... Cross yer fingers.
Got a little sidetracked there, anyhow, it's the people on the board that make it that way. Thanks to everyone. :chug:

:hihi: I like bribery and corruption Crash so would love to buy my way in... :)

Unfortunately, (well fortunately for me), the TDM went to buy the Sprint, and 11 days ago the Sprint went to buy the Speedy... And no-one else gets to ride my Speedy. :hammer:

So the Speedy has the rare distinction of being my second buy of a brand. i.e. I've had 2 Kwakas and now two Trumpies from new. (The second handie's don't count).


Have a good one
Russ :cool:

It's due to his close proximity to those women for too long. He'll get over it.

Goffe is on the list!

And Sparti- Don't know how I missed him.

And Curmudgeon, the man who stole my screen name.

I guess ctrhenry and drunktank can be on here too.

Oh, and Tracker! If he'd just show his face once in a while I would have remembered him.
