Welcome Steve!

The website is very cool!

Too bad you don't have a concert scheduled the weekend of the Mid Ohio Valley RIC Confluence of 2005!

;^)

I turn 35 next week, and have been playing and collecting Rickenbackers since 1987, just in case anyone cares.

Everybody here cares, and we've apparently all been caring for a long time!

Turned 40 late last year, but I got my first Rick ('79 Burgandyglo 4001) when I was 15. I sure miss that one.

I forget, is it possible to be 16.

It is, Peter, but you have to be under 17.

I am definitely not over 40. There is a major difference between being 39 years and 11 months old and being forty. Is it true that you can slow the ageing process by purchasing more Rickenbackers? I have eight at the moment. How many more do I need to stop turning forty altogether??

Unfortunately, Darren, there aren't enough of them on the planet!!

Do what I did. Grin and bear it (or get totally maggotted). Come to think of it, I did both!

Got my first Ric at 17...got married...got broke...sold the 360JG...got divorced...got broke even more...and finally was able to put my hands on a 330JG that I traded a couple years ago to a 650Excalibur that I still cherish! Had a dream of getting a 4003 a long long time ago and finally got it last month! Wich brings me to the main subject: I'm now 43!!!

I'm 49...got my first 4001 at 18 in 1974.

If I'd known I was gonna live this long, I'd have taken better care of myself...

Hi guys, well I'm 20 and still saving for my first ric, but have been OBSESSED with them for a couple of years now.

Wow! "maggoted" - such an oz term =) I don't think anyone else here would have got it, but I had a chuckle =)

Welcome to the forum, Peter. It is a lovely expression, isn't it?

Why "Maggotted"? Well, they are blind, legless and spend their time crawling over flesh in the often vain hope of eventually becoming a procreator.

Sounds like your average suburban drunk to me!!

Above average 'maggotted' maybe, Howard?

BTW Howard goin' to catch one of your Oz acts at the end of the month in Colorado, the Waifs.
