I met Bretty in 1985 and rode a few times with him.
As in forum members, it was the one and only Sweetbeats in 2011, with Mani at Chester Station.

Before I’d even built my first bike....
Hutchman Dave kindly invited me round to his house so he could help (that tradition has continued with every bike since)
Brettypeeps went to the trouble of lending me one of his brand new Rippers for the evening at a Rad lock-in in Corby - he didn’t even bat an eyelid when I ran out of skill and decked it (another tradition that continued :D )
Met Ed, Lenny, Munny Mark and (very briefly Pickle) that night as well
No place like :radbmxsmilie:

Spoke to loads on the forum once I joined but first bloke I met was when I dropped some o/s guff off at the one and only crisp-eating monster Si Cupid stunt's house. He told me about a meet-up in Milton-keynes and the rest is history :idiot2:
By the next year i'd been buying and selling stuff all round the UK and knew loads of faces at MK. Paul DB250 decided we were drinking till dawn and the helipad all-night sessions began :2funny:

I found out about the ride on the dp page on facebook. I signed up when I got home and I’ve had some right laughs on the forum and on the rides.

The first Radster I ever met was Retrodan72 at Flint train station on the Chester ride in 2012. The poor coont has been putting up with me ever since. It was Brettypeeps after Dan.

Tbh Paul, I thought you were a bit of a odd one turning up on a Chopper with a carrier bag of cans on your handlebars. You've given me some great chuckles over the past 6 years though mate and I'm chuffed you turned up that day.

Lived across the road from Tony DaButcher on BMX Talk one night after signing up in late 2004/early 2005, got chatting about living in Iver Heath, he asked where as he did, I said my street and he said no f-way as he lived in that street too and then we worked out that we were about 10 houses up the street from one another :LolLolLolLol: :LolLolLolLol:

That guy was Phil Sawzall 8)
Shortly after, I was really looking for bikes and he offered me a complete DB Harry Leary Turbo for £600, I kindly refused as i didn't have the funds. 😔 What a fool I was 😢😢
