Foo - Your first BF post...

Any of you ever go back and glance at your list of posts/threads?

I saw my first thread, from just last June:
Replace encased bearings with loose? (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=114648)
I was such a puttz. Especially, since I have now replaced all of my caged bearings with loose ones.

Now it's your turn...
"Yea, I've done that. I saw one of my old posts and thought ____________________."

bike fourms only allows me to see my last 500 posts.

but here is my first thread i ever made. nov 11 2003.

Favorite Compay? poll

Mine was related to my job as a bike advocate....which is how I found this site. I have been foolish posting-wise since then though. :D

That's not true. You just need to improve your search skills. :)

My first few posts aren't that interesting.

i guess your right, if you do a search around the date you joined you can get it. Turns out that thread was my first post. Thats kinda weird that i would have started a thread before i even made a post..what was i thinking.

I found my first post.

I gently teased Rayin and wound up on his ignore list!

Oh well...

Even easier... you display results in chronological order showing the earliest first (instead of the default of showing the latest first) and you see the first 500 posts you made.

My "actual" first post wasn't very interesting. However, here's a search of my first posts (ascending order from first post).

Mine was in the early pages of "How was the commute today?" when I used to go under another name.

You're on alot of peoples ignore lists arent you :( Nobody gets you :cry:

My first post was about the type of road bike I should buy, after lurkoing for a month or so

i dont think im on anyones ignore list...i must not be opinionated enough.

ill work on that.

I wouldn't be surprised if i was on somebody's ignore list but I don't recall ever being notified that i'm on somebody's ignore list :p

http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=65452 Like many newbs in the road forum, I asked the "mountain bike to road bike" question.

:roflmao:

I was such a doofushead. I also started a thread: "wish me luck tomorrow's my first day".


It's 4.3 miles by car, but that involves a half-mile of "suicide alley" -- a narrow 2-lane with no shoulder, a 45 mph speed limit (ignored of course), and heavy truck traffic.

:roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao: :roflmao:

That's now the road I take every single day. :rolleyes:

Hey guys first time poster! For the past couple of years I've been using a Mongoose DX 5.3 mountain bike to do road
:love: Alot like me :p I had a Mongoose XR 100 though :p

The famous "which bike question" with no responses

http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=7187

Followed later by the same question reworded, to get some responses.

Man some of those names bring back a bit of online nastalgia :)

I remember finding BF after googling some weird part for my bike that I was considering and looking for reviews. Epinions was striking out so I googled it and the search result took me to BF. I read the reviews/opinions, decided against the part which for the life of me I can't remember now, then went to the BF main page and randomly clicked through forums reading posts. Then I decided without much thought or fanfare that my first post would be in Rude Drivers (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=130855). My life hasn't been the same since. Curse you all! :p

Epinions was striking out

That's a tautology.

That's a tautology.
Damn you Eggy, I actually had to look that word up! :p

That's a tautology.Ha! No joke.

My first post in the June of 2005. I think I might have been lurking for a while before that though.

My First Post (http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=109151)

Such a total uninformed noob I was. And apparently too lazy to actually go outside and read the tire size on the old bike too. :lol: Anyone have any 28" tires laying around - I was looking for some way back then.


/really needed 26". I remember they were bigger than the other kid's tires by 2"... only I thought theirs were 26" - but apparently they were 24"... oh how much I've learned!

Damn you Eggy, I actually had to look that word up! :p

Hah! Isn't it awesome how people can force you to learn things whether you want to or not?

Kinda like, have you ever tried to look at words and NOT read them? I can't do it. (words in english anyway).

Richard D, if you watch the movie Quick Silver you can see Kevin Bacon riding a fixed gear backwards in a circle. It is an interesting movie to watch and see how many times the bike changes gearing or goes to a coaster brake. There is also a good scene of some guys do circus or cycloball style tricks.
It is easiest to ride backwards with a 1 to 1 gearing.

I'm sure there are a few of us who really can't dig all the way back to their oringal post using the search feature depending on if they've made over 500 posts in that specific forum in the time span between 1 year ago and the time they registered.

Read post 4 or 5 I think. It tells you what to do (change the order to ascending). I have over 10,000 posts and could find it ;)

My first post was about bee stings.

http://www.bikeforums.net/showpost.php?p=105124&postcount=31

I boldly boasted that I hadn't been stung in quite a while. Then 15 days later, I was stung on a ride.

Here is mine:

http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread.php?t=83940 and I still thank you all. I love the bike and have appreciated all of the friendly advice I have gotten, and all the things I have learned.

Cheers,

Brian

Asked about using mountain bike tires on a road bike! Bua ha ha what an idiot! :o

And this, ladies and gentlemen, is why I never make fun of so-called 'newbs' when they ask stupid questions :)

I think about 50% of first posts go much like that. Mine mentioned doing much the same. :D Though with the huge knowledge base that is BikeForums, one needs only hang around for a few months before they soak in enough to actually sound like they may know what they're talking about.

Mine was related to my job as a bike advocate....which is how I found this site. I have been foolish posting-wise since then though. :D


Lex does it still exist any more??? or did it get deleted with the *cough* sig *cough* test *cough* *cough*



Mine dealt with a "flare-up" with the residents in rural western Dane County before on of the IM Wisconsin races.

Yep. It's still there. I think I posted two questions on the advocacy forum and then mostly lurked.....oh, and I asked about bike maintainence manuals.

You're on alot of peoples ignore lists arent you :( Nobody gets you :cry:

OH! I'm hurt!

I try to be so nice...
