In hindsight we should have kept going

Joined in June 2002 after getting my new 1150GS in april 2001. I think I was on ukgsclub for a while and went to Princetown 2001or 2? Sold the GS after 23 years as it was getting heavier every year an now on a X Country CheersJohn B

Dec 2002 for me, so approaching 24 years, I joined a few months after I rode home on my gleaming brand new 1150. The bike is still with me on 72k miles and I'm looking forward to a weekend away on it in Kelso.

Quite a few of the old names and faces are no longer with us (I think especially of Gerry Huxtable and Dennis). Others have just disappeared. I remember the likes of the Prof, TheSanguine etc etc etc.
On we go, long may this continue

June 2002 for me, I’m probably the longest standing member with the lowest post count. I’m on every single day looking though.
Still got my 1150 that I bought brand new from Colwyn Bay Motorcycles in 2000 when they were a BMW dealer.
I did have an 1997 1100 GS before that though. Lots and lots of bikes have come and gone, but I’m not selling my 1150.
I do like this place though.

July 2005 for me. Saw a 1200 in June whilst in Spain on a 600 Fazer and bought my first 1200 in September. Now on my 6th, a 1250

Wow, message boards were barely a thing in 2002.

I get my 20 years in on the 14 May.... so 20 years since my first GS (PF06RUY), bought new from Roy at Southport Superbikes, a silver/yellow R1200.... sadly gone to the great breakers yard in the sky following a very low speed coming together with a Transit Van... (he reversed over the front end of the bike...)....

So how about @Paul G (BHT) making a gesture to the original members who paid subs for all those years by allowing them access to all site sections for free ? It would be similar to free travel for pensioners. And a reward for all the years subs that they paid.
