No, but I have kept quiet on meeting people from the forum.

Oh yes, some CCers have met me... they just don't know it!! :becool:
 
In 2006 I was in the US riding my motorcycle from coast to coast and back when in Yellowstone National Park I came across a British registered motorbike. When the rider removed his helmet I realised it was a chap who'd been to my house twelve months earlier and I'd sold him a set of BMW panniers.

Then entering a tunnel in Zion Canyon I saw a Pan Eurpean headlight approaching. When I got to daylight I stopped, and found he'd turned around and stopped alongside me. He's been contributing to a Pan forum too.

I've also met Pan European-owners from the US when they've come over to London for a holiday, and had the great pleasure in showing them around the sights in our capital.

Papercorn 2000 turned up at my door on Saturday morning and it wasn't to dish out extreme violence!
 
Myself and Vikeonabike ended up in Aldi for their recent winter clothing special, totally co-incidentally at the same time. I knew it was he as (a) he was wearing police uniform, (:biggrin: he was looking at the cycling gear and(c) he was impressively hirsute in the chin department ;)

I chance upon Cycle Chatters as a matter of course. On average one a week, but, not so long ago, two in ten minutes.
 
Whilst out on a ride I started chatting to a bloke, a few minutes after I left him it dawnwed on me that it was michaelm of the C+ forum; I was to meet him for the 1st time officially a few weeks later.

I have bumbed into a few CC'ers too but ones I'd met before.
 
I’m on a kilt forum and I was at Portsmouth Cathedral for an Ordination Ceremony, loads of people there and out of the crowd someone smiled at me (I was wearing my kilt with all the trimmings) I just smiled back and went outside later a man and his wife came out and said "your Richard from the kilt forum he had recognised me from my avatar photo ;)

I was in my local Tesco Express once when I spotted a very distinctive Colnago outside that I recognised. It belonged to Rob S who was getting some munchies before a train home after one of his century rides. I said hello and he was very surprised that I recognised him by his bike!
