New to Farkin, Hello!!

[ExilE]

Hello all,

recently found the forums here not a bad read and quite informative too.. a good source!! Not sure if you have a thread for new member introductions, but a quick search did not show any thing so I'm guessing not, so thought I'd post up a message and say hello to you all :)


Thanks,
Paul

Well it just makes sense to me, also it's something that I see time and time again people not using the search function. I try my best not to waste peoples time :D

Hey mate welcome.... good on you for using the search alot of members are extremely lazy and start threads that have allready beeen started.... Any way what bike do you ride? and what type of riding are you into?

[ExilE]

Well I don't have much time these days but how ever I'm in the market soon for a new bike. I decided a Mountain bike from the start.. then once I started looking about I thought you know what I should really get myself something good and actually go and get into some serous riding again, see whats out there to explore, have some FUN!

Years ago I used to ride BMX and Dirt ... currently riding an old GT bike (just a to and from work bike basically) .. cant think of the model off the top of my head but I think its fairy old it's got one of the genuine gt bash plate part :p

But to answer you question about styles of riding, for me thats where it gets confusing all theres new names and abbreviations.. maybe someone would be kind enough to bring me back to date.

But yes just trying to save some money up at the moment.

Something to do with that personally autographed & framed photo of you by my laptop as a constant reminder........

:rolleyes:

Its good you went straight to Forums, it'll help you out tonns. It took me a while to get used to the site but obvisouly you got the hang of it pretty quick =]

goodluck in saving for the new bike =]

[ExilE]

Yep, I'm going to need all the luck I can get! No not really that bad just going to take me a while to save for my bike, quite a bit of money involved but thats ok :)


Then once I finally get all the setup might have to find out the good places to ride and see if I can hookup with some local people or something but so far from my research seems like I'm going to have some fun times getting to some of the places people ride.. as I don't drive. But I can sort that out later!
