What happened to The Rev Counter ?

Post by Scorchio »

Yo yo... been awhile... a really long while.

Always mean to log back in and say hi to catch up with the usual suspects like good ol Skub etc... but just never really got round to it.

First question... is this the right place ? What happened to The Rev Counter ? All those posts and wasted hours disappeared into the ether ?

Anyways, hope all is good with whomever is still around... quick peruse and I see Weeksy and Moth are still around so some familiar-ish faces.

In simple terms, he had enough. He gave us advance warning though and I built this place.

Wow okay, so it really did come to an end! End of an era for sure…. Those almost 10K posts of mine were hard earned dammit! :lol: (I know nothing like you and Moth and some others !!)

Thanks for letting me know Weeksy… :thumbup:

Wow, Skub you still around/alive ?!! thought you were like really old back in the day !! :D

My bike forum days are over, kinda died with stopping riding bikes I guess… makes sense.

Good times though, good times… from ol Visordown to Rev Counter (call me old skool but VD really was it… for me anyway).

The master trolls Icarus and Trumps still around ?


P.S: Rim-tape deffo adds at least 5bhp to any bike !!! 8-)

Iccys still here, he's not Iccy now. He's still winding people up.
Trumps, no, never made it.
