Obviously it's up to each forum owner to make his own decisions on things. I've always been pretty relaxed about everything and never had the "our members" mentality that some have. Quite a few of the guys here go on other forums as well (so do I as you know).....it's a normal thing. I have seen this attitude before (it's nothing new) but as I said, it's their site they can do as they want. I've always tried as best as I can to have a sort of "Clubhouse" feel to a forum.......not a Prisoner Cell Block H one!

I honestly don't know Rich....it's a grey area. No forum software has ever had the facility to read private messages because it's always been considered an invasion of privacy. Not really ethical either. It can be done by going into the database entries on the server through an application called PHPmyAdmin......but that would be very fiddly and very time consuming. In my opinion you'd only ever do that if there was a suspicion of criminal activity or something illegal going on. And possibly requested by Law Enforcement authorities. So I'm talking something really serious here. Sharing a link to a bike forum hardly fits into that category.

It beats me! You lot can link any bike forum on the board that you want to......I don't give a shit. In fact I may actually join up there just to get away from these Bellends!

Notice he's now inciting others to get banned as well? The man is an enigma! What you say @Tym?

Banned......or restricted posting? Did you mail gymwitch as Swagman thought? If so they must have been checking your mails as well. If it wasn't you, then somebody else is heading for the chop as well.

@Bruce can confirm......but it was something along the lines of how I'd excelled myself in finding someone as fucking stupid as you!

@Bruce as I recall was very surprised that day. He didn't think it possible that I could find somebody like you!

I've made a deal with @Bruce.....if he controls his ass then I'll control my pubes!

But you came on when it was DSUK Chris.....the merge to MB came later on. From what I can recall, the only ones here who actually joined MB were Specs and Toph. So bearing in mind the longevity of MB it didn't actually bring in many new members. And ultimately that proved to be it's downfall.

@Swagman...... @gymwitch is here! You been up to more subterfuge? Fucking blown your chance of a refund if you have!

Hi gymwitch......great to see you! And for the rest of you twats......this is a lady! So try and exercise a bit of decorum FFS!

Perimetral lockdown back again......fortunately the town limits do go out into the really remote areas so I can get about a bit. We had this from mid Oct to early December then they lifted it. At which point the weather turned to shit so I couldn't go anywhere. So strictly speaking this is the same restriction that I've had for 3 and a half months. The bike mileage (kph) tells the tale.....Oct 1200, November 300, December 100, January 40. I'm now officially a.......

Fishmonger's doorbell more like!

Meanwhile on Social Media........

Thanks Chris! The background to this place is that this came about as a result of the hardcore lockdown early last year when the combination of being incarcerated and not able to ride for 9 weeks with only Facebutt to look at did my head in. Plus.....it gave me the opportunity to try and finally achieve what I wanted to do with DSUK in 2004......which was unfinished business in my book. Virtually everybody on here came from DSUK to MB (a few actually came from it's predecessors BZ and GB)........so MB was actually just a point on the journey, it wasn't what was planned as the original destination for DSUK. The original plan was for a UK/EU version of ButtRider.......and that's the objective here! This place isn't just for people with Adv Bikes.....it's for everybody. The person is more important than the bike. So put the word about where you can.....I'm sure there's plenty of others who've had a gutful of FB.

Fantastic shots Rick.......looks like great weather!

Vaguely! Wasn't it where you kept insisting it was Dell's birthday and it wasn't?

Doing a 15 year stretch I'd imagine!

This retirement malarkey doesn't seem like my sort of thing Clive!

Done!

Get that next month then....cos I'll be able to use that link!

Didn't they go to that Big Trailie one that Bob goes on.....but it doesn't seem to get much activity.

Didn't he sell it off some years ago to a corporate?

I can link the display pic in the sidebar to the ride report.
