Ok, I know that I have not been in the club for very long, and that I don't attend nearly as many rides as I would like but hold on for a sec. I think that I make an effort to be involved with club activities to a point but I can't be there every time, even though I would like to be.
Please don't stop posting rides or being active on the board.
For me personally, I have a young family which has to be number 1, and to be honest I don't fancy leaving them and riding down to town every week or to go out on a ride in the pissing rain. Sometimes these decisions are made at a late stage. Thats the way it is. Surely the fact that the weather has been for the last few months whould come into the equation.
I get what is saying about lack of enthusiasm in the club but I don't see how not approaching this from a positive angle can be constructive. I'm not saying that people shouldn't ride with another group, that is of course your call. My point is perhaps the lack of attendance is more a result of peoples other commitments as opposed to a lack of enthusiasm. This is my reason anyway.
I just want to thank everyone that has welcomed me into the club without judgement. I am proud to be assosiated with a club that is so highly regarded in motorcylcle circles for its friendly and open nature. (from an outside source). It has been an excellent source of information in regards to the setup and modifications of my bike and has allowed me to get in contact with people that can do the job, i.e. Petes Pitstop, It has also stopped me making 'typical' mistakes that I would not have been aware of. This has undoubtably saved me big .
I will of course make every effort to attend club rides. I think it is a great idea to have a regular monthly or bi-monthly ride but I also read and consider each ride that is posted on the board. I know that I have written this post from a personal angle and it is not because I think that anyone has commented about me directly, but I can only give you my individual reasons.
Let's let the club grow, not shrink. The members that have been here through the years have obviously persisted with it for a reason, and have done a stirling job.
Bring on Summer!!
Cheers,
