10 years ago today
« on: May 17, 2021, 04:02:22 PM »
On May 17, 2011, MOTOBRICK.COM went live at 01:02:24 PM Pacific Time with this post:

http://www.motobrick.com/index.php?topic=359.msg569#msg569

Nobody even bothered to reply to that post so I guess there wasn’t much interest.

As of today the forum has 7,155 members. That’s probably about 7,100 Chinese or Russian bots and about fifty actual people who are seeking Internet disinformation related to BMW motorcycles.

Carry on . . .

Somehow, I feel obligated to ignore posting a response to this post as well. 

Congratulations on ten years of providing an outlet for Brick owners.

I 1st logged on June 8, 2011, looking for an alternative to the over moderated, over priced BMWMOA.  I had no idea it was a newborn back then, thought it had been around since dinosaurs.

I wasn't long after you Chaos,  I registered and started posting on June 20, 2011 at 07:36:45, which was a Monday so I must have been up early and on my way out the door to work.  :laughing4-giggles:  Congrats on 10 years of awesome K-bike support and camaraderie.

Wow, it has been quite a ride.
I joined soon after but stayed on K-bikes.com until the 2-valve models were pretty much forgotten which did not take long.
Here's to 10 more!

That's two good things for me about the 17th May, MY Dads birthday.
On the 17th I like to watch the odd episode of Columbo in memory of my dear old Dad. For some reason it reminds me of the good old days.

So only another 12 months until I get one of those coveted "Been here 10 years now but still enjoy learning" badges then ..?

Cheers!
