G'Day Fellow Aussies,
RDU 2015 - has it died in the ars#?
Although I'm originally from South Africa, have a Yarpie accent and was born in Perth, I've been here in Aus for over 30 years so I do consider myself True Blue.
I've only owned my Rocket for a couple a months and residing in Melbourne now I can fully comprehend that we've just hit winter so it may be excusable that it appears all Melbourne Rocketiers have shown little regard in getting together, Melbourne's wether is pretty crap. I trust this is gonna change later in the year as the warmer weather approaches.
It may be too late but this thread was initiated by Mizzy back in January 2015 and although some guys have researched venues and worked trying to keep things rolling. The tyres have gone flat. Seems like a fizzer. In March Mizzy commented about the
"lack of progress". "I personally", am very interested in a national event and I would most certainly attend providing it's not in WA, 3000km is too far and 3000km back mmmmmmm. This forum and in particular, this specific thread demonstrates what may be a lack of attention or commitment from some guys. However, there is a flicker of hope considering a few members have expressed the willingness to get together. Sure guys, we're all busy, nobody has time, we all have things to do, we all have families and commitments, but guys,
we're on this planet for a good time not a long time.
Planning and event like RDU 2015 requires effort and that's effort from everyone. We all have our own personal individual skills and I'm sure every single one of us could contribute in some form to make a successful event. I don't mind co-ordinating things as I probably have more spare time on my hands than most, although on occasions as a project manager I do seldomly get very busy.
It's evident that there was some leaning towards South Aus as a destination.
My suggestion would be this:-
1) I would like some indication from anyone who still may interested in a get together.
2) Where?
3) Caravan park or Motel? Personally I like somewhere where we can perhaps cook a steak on a BBQ and have the bikes parked close.
4) Preferred dates?
If I were to try co-ordinate an event I would prefer to communicate via email as using the forum is not instant and requires effort. However, posting on this thread can also be done in addition to emails to keep everyone informed. I would be most appreciative if anyone interested could email me
roycasey22@gmail.com. Posting on the forum too is fine.
If SA is chosen unfortunately, I may be unable to assist with locations and similarly for Melbourne as I've only been in Melbourne for less than 12 months. I am nevertheless, willing to offer my time to assist in co-ordinating and organising affairs.
Wot say guys??????
