Busgo will be an excellent administrator. You know that as well as anyone. If he feels it necessary to dispense with the diplomatic words and speak plainly, I applaud that. (You're not exactly known for your diplomacy yourself). If Busgo turns out to be a tough, uncompromising admin who takes appropriate and swift action without fear or favour... I applaud that too. (... speaking of which, I do believe you've been loosely described as tough and uncompromising yourself.)
Glenn, when we start paying membership fees, I'm sure we'll get a vote. Until then, its not a democracy. Those who do all the work, get to make the rules and decide on who runs the place. Actually, we all do have a vote. We can vote with our feet. In the end, if the changes offend someone, they can close their account. (Personally I'm hoping that's exactly what happens in some cases). There are other boards - but many of them don't give members voting rights either... and many of them have strict policy guidelines. I can see some people leaving this board and going elsewhere to rubbish us. I'm not worried about that. Those people will soon make themselves a nuisance on other boards too... so their bad opinion about this board will actually have the reverse effect.
Before either of you start calling foul, I'm not picking on you and this is not a personal attack. I've only met you once Glenn so we've really not interacted much, but I have a lot of respect for you dad. He's a good bloke and an awesome rider. I'm just stating my opinion here. Besides, people don't always just become targets, they often make themselves targets.
Volvi, Busgo, Rod and whoever else is going to be administering the new rules and code of conduct - you have my full support.
Dj - come back mate.
common Astro that is political correctness at its highest.
For one i was shit on for no GOOD reason by that Jese blah blah (and i have not forgotten) and the the great amin newly appointed
called me a ungratefull arsehole.
This is how ungratefull i was
Donated a Shock valued $1550
" wheels $3000
" Braketech rotors $1070
" rearsets $ 800
Organised Suzuki to chip in with $2000 worth of gear (2 years running) And no ther clubs have gotten even close in getting a cap.
Organised for 3 shops tp put up a service each fromm $500 to $1000
And organised 2 Jindy rides.
And the club got there $1500 i think out of donations and auction the March ride 07. And all busgo did was to winge about the charity
Salvation Army. And he calls me ungratefull arsehole. And hie first reaction as a admin, and Volvi said fuckall about it. Maybe to busy running this little gem
