Mark W Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Shitloads. Masses and masses. Was trying to explain to my sister how cool the whole community shizzle is and how far it's taken me and so on. She said she bought her first car for the amount I've spent all in on my T-Pro as it is, and I was trying to point out how it kept me fit, didn't rape the environment, was good fun, but mostly how I'd met so many awesome people from it. Seriously, there are people on the forum who I might not get along with, but you generally do "in real life". Everyone's sound when they're riding, it's really good. Comps especially - thought it'd be all quiet and elitist and so on, but everyone just has a laugh and there's loads of friendly banter going on. It's really good though. Some of my favouritest friends are people from here who I speak to on MSN or just on here - there's a lot of nice people about, 'specially to people who've let me stay at their houses/ask them questions/sold me stuff/bought stuff off me :blink: Mark.

MadManMike Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 (edited) I met my 3 best mates through riding, haven't made any friends on here yet, mainly because I haven't attended any rides and tend not to use MSN or anything (Y) EDIT: @Mark: Just noticed you joined 3 days after me... that's quite weird... how close is that considering there's 365 days in a year, and this place has been going a good 4 (?) years... hmm random...

Tomm Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 Yeah, but loads of people joined around that time, because that was when the server died, and everyone had to re-apply for membership etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomm Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I reckon it must be getting on for 100 people, on various rides/comps/piss-ups. And I think I met one person who annoyed me. No names obviously, but out of 100 people, that's not bad (Normally about 1 in 2 people really piss me off (Y) ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
plainlazy84 Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 Met loads of the Senior members/ mods on our little pub extravaganza weekend. Got on well with everyone which is quite amazing really considering i had only met two of them before. I have met lots of others and have rarely disliked a rider!

Urpedigreechumdog Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 (edited) I ride with 3 mates locally and have met up with about 7 people off T-F. Not bad, seeing as i've only been riding 5 months (Y) Oh and i have about 50 odd people on my msn list off t-f Edited March 2, 2005 by Urpedigreechumdog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frika Posted March 2, 2005 Report Share Posted March 2, 2005 I've met a lot of people through trials and TF.. I can't think of any other sport that has a "community" like trials does.. Everyone just gets on with anyone else who is a trials rider! Riders like Leon and Lloyd are some of my best mates, even if we stopped riding we'd still go out and stuff.. get me! It's all good!
