Once a newbie....
on: July 15, 2007, 01:34:09 am
I've noticed that everyone on the board is labeled "newbie" in the directory... While it's basically true since the forum just started, I haven't seen any indication of what will promote that status to something else, or that else that might be.

Just curious....

Now all we have to do is find something to talk about.... No wait, we have something to talk about.  :D

ot: I just turned over 4000 km on my Ural. I got it in March, so both bikes are fairly new.

Scoots are cool, if I hadn't had my old vintage vespa to sell, I would have never bought the Enfield. ;D

It's better than still being at the back of the pack.  :o

I just don't have enough to say, I guess.

Doesn't seem fair, since I started this.... I think that the folks from Indiana are just too chatty.  :P

What can you expect from a state that tried to pass a law to make Pi equal to 3.
