Yeah, Litespeeds were popular back then.

Funny - almost all of us left for other social media venues. A bunch of us were just messaging last week about the old BF days. One of our perma-banned friends started the convo after he had come back out here and made a new screen name and was insta-banned again. He didn't care much or try and hide it but was hoping to have some fun again. Ahhh....the good old days.
The best thing is almost all of those old names I still see daily on facebook. They're all active. Most aren't as active on their bikes anymore but many still are.

53x11 Alltheway. He was a classic, who seemed to rub plenty up the wrong way.
Don D. He had lots of amusing arguments with Thylacine who, incidentally, no longer makes frames.
Doc Ray? DrPete.
ke422azn22: He crashed and burned after stirring up lots of "traditional" members, including myself a few times
Khuon...
Alan bikehouston; is he still here?
Trev Doyle; he really belonged on Weight Weenies
Ben Cousins; woah, he stirred up trouble for a while
Eh,,,,so many.
I reckon that even the most addicted forum users fizz out after 2 or 3 years. I mean, reading the same over and over can only be done 40 or 50 times

He did post a lot in the Bike Mechanics forum and was less than tolerant of those who knew less than he did, which is what I liked about him.
He had some unique expressions but was pretty knowledgeable...
