Most certainly. I think most sub-cultres (especially those with a nod towards anti-establishment) tend to attract those of a certain characterDespite the outward differences at heart punks and ravers are much the same imo.

Surely in bikepacking lightweight setup, a silent rave would be appropriateShewie wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 12:11 pmBagsy not carry the speakerstechno wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 10:38 amDefinitely.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 10:05 am I knew we had a good number of old punks but didn't know we had so many ex-ravers ...

Which local shop. I mighy try it and see if it works??AndyTheBikeGuy wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 11:45 am I read a cycling book some time ago in which the writer met a rider out on the road and the guy called himself Steve The Bike Guy (it may not have been Steve) and he said if you go to any of these places locally and say Steve The Bike Guy sent you, they'll give you a discount and everyone knows me. I then lent this book to a friend at uni who had recently started riding and when he needed a new set of pedals I said to go to the local bike shop and say my name and they'd likely give him a 5% discount as they had done for other friends I'd sent that way. In response he called me AndyTheBikeGuy and when I wanted to use my first name I thought it made sense, although it now does seem a little pompous...
Andy, in case anyone was wondering...

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
Coined in the UK (motorcycle) Trials Forum. I'd recently acquired one of these:-
Ariel "Hunter Trials" 500 aka an HT 500. Me and a few mates were quite keen on letting everyone know we rode these kind of things properly rather than trailer them from one show to another hence HTrider....
I used the same name on the Thumpertalk forum so kept it for this one when I joined in '14 to save remembering another name.
Real name Phil Clarke

You'll have to ride in the Sheffield area when one of the fairly regular outdoor raves is going on at Lady Canning's Plantation... Which also happens to contain bike trails and be on the peak 200techno wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 10:38 amDefinitely.Bearbonesnorm wrote: ↑Sun Mar 01, 2020 10:05 am I knew we had a good number of old punks but didn't know we had so many ex-ravers ...

I did my stint but , for reasons I cannot explain, I cannot be sure exactly how much time elapsed in my shift
Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
That sounds erm, chemical,
I saw a cargo bike with sound system and a drum machine mounted on it at a festival years ago. That was fun.
Or the records.

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
Always remember coming out of shelleys in stoke to find a curtain sider parked across the front , wondering wtf was going the curtains pulled back and the prodigy started banging away , some of the best free ones were nights after quadrant park dropping down to north wales and carrying on to the next night at some New Age traveller site , as it’s been said great times but I don’t think I could do it now , seems that I have passed the torch to my daughter the state she comes home in reminds me of some good times
Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
wow, that sound great. Altern 8 did something similar outside shellys too from what i've read.middleagedmadness wrote: ↑Mon Mar 02, 2020 7:20 am Always remember coming out of shelleys in stoke to find a curtain sider parked across the front , wondering wtf was going the curtains pulled back and the prodigy started banging away , some of the best free ones were nights after quadrant park dropping down to north wales and carrying on to the next night at some New Age traveller site , as it’s been said great times but I don’t think I could do it now , seems that I have passed the torch to my daughter the state she comes home in reminds me of some good times

What we discoverd was the entire police force of North wales was about 50 officers so if there was enough of you all they could do was watch . I may have organised one or two small gatheringsdropping down to north wales and carrying on to the next night at some New Age traveller site

Re: The story behind your BB name (and whats your usual form of address)
It’s still bugging me the name of that club in Manchester I’m sure for the life of me it was kollision. But a quick google only shows the old jungle nights at wolves civic which too were good nights , also another haunt was eclipse in Coventry with Carl cox as a regular , I was about 17/18 that time at shelleys so it would have been 89/90 I’ve tried looking up to see if there was any video of it but can only find the altern8 one , maybe I’m getting confused as I saw mr flint at shelleys a couple of time’s and they were definitely Hazey nights , always remember the first time I heard Charley still giggle now

Never went 051 or cream as soon as the quad went that was it for Liverpool for us , then it was a gradual decline into reality as there weren’t any clubs that had that happy atmosphere in the club and moody atmosphere in the warehouse partsummittoppler wrote: ↑Sat Feb 29, 2020 7:20 pm On the topic of water bottle in the back pocket (clubbing) I was a participant back in the mid/late 90's. Many a night in 051, Cream, Sankeys Soap (Stoke nights), Downton in Rhyl and I even met the Mrs in a local club in Colwyn Bay (that reads well) which was raided every weekend!
Maybe that was our early BB training for long nights and feeling cr@p next day!

JT Company- Don’t Deal With Us always reminds me of that place!
Don’t think it was open that long..

Have to say, chapeau Shaf for the most entertaining forum topic we've had for some time. *
* With the exception of BDS' BAM post last weekend. Really. Steve. Nuts.
Thank you Reg. I was starting to wonder if I was the only one.Tim, what manner of man are you that can summon fire without flint or tinder? No wonder you have all those stoves.

Gone off at a bit of a tangent though hasn't it! I feel a bit left out having been on the metal head side of things
