Just a week before last I was answering the question of someone from Tasmania about their R80RT on a British forum (BM Bikes). He mentioned he was coming over to Western Australia for a week (last week). I said we should meet, it was then he said he was coming for a Navy reunion. It was the same Navy reunion my (ex) Father in Law was going to, in fact I'd helped him get some photo's cleaned up on my computer and printed off for a display board he'd set up.
John came over and came round (among his hectic timetable) for coffee, and checked out my stable and project bike (what else do you do!!??). Turns out he served on the same ship as my Father in Law, and the guy he was staying with (who also came round) knew my F in L well but hadn't seen him for years. I think it's called six degrees of separation.
I've met people on these forums and set up friendships with them, as well as those I haven't met face to face (yet!!).
