Rockford Show - Was it really so Hot out there?
Zippy:
On a personal note I'd love to see Neil's collection. :daumenhoch:
Never had an issue with the bloke and had a fair few dealings with him. ;)
Jt:
What a load of melodramatic bollocks.
no one slagged subwax off at all...
brandy truffle intimated that some people, both sides of the pond, slag off rich collectors, in my opinion they are jealous. of the bikes and the success of the owners.
any negative comments of mine were directed towards brandy truffle, with regards to the above, but were not done in an aggressive manner...as his points came out directly after i put up my pics of my VDC, and seemed to be defending subwax ( like he needs it ???). Like wealthy collectors are spoliing it somehow ???
when i started buying stuff, it was suggested by a very prominant member of this site that i had 'all the gear, and no idea'
my how i laughed....that individual, sat there, judging me through the medium of bmx..for fooks sake!!!!
Subwax's vdc could have been put together better, in my opinion.
before everyone starts piping up about what happened with subwax historically, i think they should read the thread again and consider the above points..including Subwax!
Subwax going to rockford ? Cool..i will be going next year, if i get the chance...
and he should be coming to Mk this year, and for those that have issues with him, dont speak to him....more people are interested in his collection than not..by a significant margin.
dont forget your VDC dude :daumenhoch:
subwax:
Now JT - I believe I was the "all the gear - no idea" person - its a nickname I am particularly fond of.
I built 7 bikes on Friday morning before setting off to Rockford, so you're right about the VDC not being perfect - in fairness, it wasnt meant to be. It was pretty much exactly how I bought it ages ago. For me, it was just taking bikes there and being part of the whole thing that made the weekend so memorable.
You want to go next year? Mate, I cannot recommend it enough. The people there are so friendly and welcoming. Its so well organised too. There should be more people making the trip over there. It was only Waza and I that were not US guys.
Brandy Truffle:
I didnt take any offence JT. That opinion about the so called "minted" collectors was not my own,just a vibe i picked up from reading topics both here and abroad,most recently regarding the Rockford event.
Some people wanna spend 300+ quid on ESP stems, 3-40 quid on Hutch plastic grips. Great. I hope it makes them happy. I'm lucky that when i stopped racing in 1986 all my bikes and spares were bin bagged up at my parents house and only unearthed last summer when my mum moved to a bungalow and gave me an ultimatum - take it or i'll bin it.
I'm a big fan of JT's bikes,his sense of humour and his knoledge on stuff here.Loved the Robinson,the VDC,the Kuwi...
Majority of my "disposable income" gets spent on the 2 loves of my life. My kids....and my Cars. (fooks sake dont tell the missus she's been missed out) ;D I love rummageing around both here,ebay and my BITD bin bag collection for parts to build my bikes, having found RAD last Oct when initially i was just looking for a place to sell all my stuff,found a load of like minded bike nuts and decided to stay :daumenhoch:
I dont know ANYBODY here personally,but i'm hoping to change that come MK. For the record that includes the Subwax guy,as i sent him a PM saying i hope he could make it. Some people may remember when i was looking for info on my Redline build his name cropped up as someone "who knew their Redlines" but i had no means of contacting him.
JT,i wasnt defending Subwax VDC, when i put the pic up of the VDC i didnt even know whos it was until i read a comment further down - but after you posted your "Blinger" i thought i should mention that it (his) was supposed to be built as a "survivor"
Anyway,this topics gone way off the intended. I hope to meet you all,Subwax included at my first MK this year. :daumenhoch:
Jt:
Dude, i dont know you personally, but just wanted to air my thoughts on how this thread had been misinterpreted...
SUBWAX.... also dont know about your historics with others...and more to the point, i dont care...its old news?
all power to you for keeping it rad without the need for RADBMX.
hope you make it to Mk.
