Timewarp - RC51.net Oldtimer

TrickyDicky · 05-06-2008, 11:12 AM

Gulp - you know how you return to a place where you did some growing up and things are really familiar but you can also tell that deep down, everything has changed? I'm getting that feeling right now.

I joined www.rc51.net about 10 days after the site got going. I think I was the very first member in Europe or the US to take delivery of my SP1. I remember how we transitioned to www.motorush.com

Loads of things in life have happened and i wasn't very regular on the forums. And I just tried coming back to have a look see and it's all gone. I see www.rc51.org is still there but it looks like it's got tumbleweed blowing through. Any old RC51er's knocking around?

Somewhere behind all this I have a question about PowerCommanders and reliability of ignition circuits, but I'd prefer to say "Hi" to the old gang first. It feels like something has died. Oh well, here's to the Phoenix effect
;-)

Cheers, TrickyDicky

Hey! A name from the MR days! Hope all is well.

ragdoll · 05-06-2008, 11:28 AM

Trick! It's been a loooong time.

Some of us RC-Fatty1's are still here. It's mostly 919 riders asking why their bike stinks and their brakes are too loud, though.

Good to see another old familiar name on here.

jetblast10 · 05-06-2008, 11:46 AM

welcome back, enjoy the second time around.

dadogs · 05-06-2008, 12:13 PM

Wow, a blast from the past. Welcome aboard or back Tricky!

Bigdaa · 05-06-2008, 12:35 PM

I'm here even though I was Superchickening and 929ing back then.

Ridge · 05-06-2008, 12:54 PM

Welcome to the fray.

Remember thpse great 929 vs GSXR1K battles we had back then?

Welcome back Tricky Dicky. Same basic vibe here. Minus the porn

Aquila-RC51 · 05-06-2008, 04:08 PM

Welcome ... always nice to see an old face, especially one still rides a "Real" bike..

RC90 · 05-06-2008, 04:22 PM

Holly mother of God, the Infamous Trickydicky is in da house... it is really good to hear from you again TD. Hopefully, knowing that you're hear will make JohnnyB return to the herd.

Now, tell us about your miseries with the bike

bloaker · 05-06-2008, 04:39 PM

Have you heard the adventures of Mt Ybor?

cmelnick · 05-06-2008, 06:03 PM

So, a brief history lesson for us that have joined after all that history. What happened to RC51.net and motorush? Did we faction off? Was there drama?

Enlighten us, oh great ones...

h ryder · 05-06-2008, 07:17 PM

holy shiet... someone who rides an RC!!!
...about friggin' time.

midwest · 05-06-2008, 07:41 PM

Tricky Dicky..... WOW.....

I am speechless....

Welcome to Motorush 0.2!!!

Whats new?

tarheelguy · 05-06-2008, 07:47 PM

Welcome Back Tricky.

I've still got my 01 and the fat old girl's still got legs. Plenty of the folks that sold theirs are wishing they had them back.

If you poke around in here I think you'll find they even have a "dash cover" thread.

bloaker · 05-06-2008, 07:48 PM

It may have legs, but it has My Old RCs heart!

R.I.P x2

RC51.net begat Motorush, Motorush begat WristTwisters.

Actually Jet created WT to fill the void of MR. WT is a MUCH cleaner and safer version ( No nuns). All in all it's a better site, you still have the occasional antagonists but still better.

Motorush was quite large, tons of members... one day we all tried to log in and it was gone. No warning or explanation.

There is a website somewhere that took a snapshot of Motorush before it dropped if you want to see how insane we all really are in an unruled domain.

You mean the pics of things totally wrong wasn't a family friendly thread?

That wasn't a human friendly thread.

I am a porn freak perhaps but not into S&M or whatever that shiot is called like XX was back when he used to own his balls...

What the hell, TrickyDicky started the thread, we have already derailed it (in casual W/T style) but he has yet to come back to it... WTF??? Did we ran him out of here already?

farmerjoe · 05-07-2008, 04:34 PM

I didn't get a chance to meet you but I am here now. Still own an RC and my 919 exhausts do stink.

Many rc51.org members are still dropping in on Speedzilla.com

ratdog · 05-07-2008, 04:36 PM

welcome back...

i'm still "talking" about buying an SP2

Rogue is still happening, Speedzilla is alive and well

RC90's engrish as you can see is no better..

JohhnyB is chained up in my basment. I let him out every few weeks.

Good to see you Tricky...

RC51_CBRXX · 05-10-2008, 09:04 PM

Tricky ... welcome back! I still have my baby. She's the third since the beginning days. Ask away with the questions. If we can't answer, LDH is still around the parts.

RayRevolver · 05-26-2008, 08:58 PM

Welcome back Tricky!

I joined a little late in the game around mid-2001 so I missed RC51.net. It was cool to find this site with a bunch of the same freaks who used to make Motorush a good time.

Lemonhead · 05-27-2008, 06:48 AM

There's an RC for sale around the corner from me if any one is interested I'll get the info.

Lemonhead · 05-31-2008, 09:17 PM

Talked to this guy today. It's lowered front and rear has 22000 mi and a 20 shot nitrous set up. Two bros pipes.

scrat · 03-04-2009, 07:17 AM

I am but a wee lad in the Duck Eater world...but after 21000 miles on my Niner last season, i decided i needed something that could corner until i puked...and that it does! I love it! Good to find this part of the forum and some others who are still rockin the RCs! Thududududududump!
