Bjorn,
I sincerely hope the website will continue on as a tribute to both you and Ric. My best to you as always. Ron

Björn,
Sorry to hear about you having to sell something you love...I can relate, but "All things must pass..." Hope everything goes smoothly and that you stay in touch.

Bjorn, sorry to see that are parting with Rickbeat. It's one of my favorite websites. I wish I could take Rickbeat off your hands, unfortunately I can't. I hope the site will somehow continue on. It was a pleasure to meet you last year at the RIC 75th. I wish the best to you in all you do. I hope you continue to come by here to say hello.

I always enjoyed perusing your site Bjorn. Good luck to you and I hope the site continues on some way or another. I hope you'll be stopping by here occasionally.

Something must be done about this.

"I wish I could take Rickbeat off your hands"...interesting choice of words Joey.

Björn - thanks for giving us all the opportunity to post our collection pics, and offering the most comprehensive Rickenbacker model library I've seen. I've learned a lot when referring to your site over the past year(s). Best of luck in finding someone, some entity perhaps, to take it over and maintain it. The Rickbeat site aside, best of luck to you as well, and do drop by to say hello when you can.

Peter - any thoughts on the Rick Resource Forum "acquiring" Rickbeat? Somehow absorb it into the Forum platform?

Björn, like many others have already said, I too am sorry to see that you have to give up your website. It was probably the first Rickenbacker related site that I ever visited. I only wish that I had the funds and/or the time to take it off your hands.

That said, don't be a stranger here on the RickResource Forum.

Bjorn, I want to thank you for giving me a place where I could post pictures of my lefty Ricks. Your website has always been my favorite place to visit. I wish you all the happiness on earth.
Take care.

Bjorn, all the best to you and a big thanks for the Rickbeat site. As others have stated, it is a really valuable resource and asset. Good luck in finding another dedicated Rickite to continue your hard work. It was great to meet you at the 75th.
