I'm new to Rivet Bangers. What's the story here? Are you guys the "bad boys" of RV's? Looks like a great resource.

Nope not the bad boys. I view RB more of a RV club house. Bunch of friends meeting and discussing fun stuff. We may tease or poke fun, but not going to punch anyone in the eye.....(well unless they're asking for it)

Welcome to Riverbangers clubhouse...just don't sit in my chair :mrgreen:

Hahahaha... the "bad boys"!

That is funny! I like the small town atmosphere here in contrast to that "BIG CITY" of Texas!

:lol: CJ

P.S. Welcome!

Well, thats good news. I thought I might have to get a Tat to hang out here and I wasn't really sure what to get :o

I've got a little rebel in me. I'm on a mission to build my -8 for as little moola as possible. I don't always fit in with the big boys. Oh, and I don't always use my torque wrench either :smash:

Being a bit of a rebel and all, I was thinking the tat would be of a Bonanza!
