Where is the AUSMC stand?

[R6_kid]

I've got $2 that's burning a hole in my pocket... where do I sign up?

[xwhatsit]

Yeah lol I don't see shit either. I've only got a $50 note -- reckon I can get change in $2 coins?

[R6_kid]

I'll swap you your $50 for my $2

[Ragingrob]

Stand will be out one day this week I believe, will be posted up when it is! Otherwise drop money in Squiggles locker, and I'll race to get there first!

[Squiggles]

Its not out today... We should be later this week (Takes more to do it this time round as AUSA have given all the tables to the company's so we have to supply our own!)

[Real_Wolf]

wait, we're gonna have a stand for once?

Man, thats so not lazy of us.

Meh, no spare change on me (might have a dollar), probably just chuck squiggs a beer at the chiller

[bomma]

gimme a buzz if you need someone to man the table. ive got a pretty chill timetable........... + i dont really go to lecs anyway so yea :)

[shingo]

I might drop by when you guys setup a stand. Not like i got much else to do...

[Phurrball]

If it's not Friday, I may be able to loiter and add a mature air to procedings...

[Squiggles]

I think thursday, fridays weather isnt as good

[Real_Wolf]

heh, don't worry, your mature air will be destroyed any time squiggles or andrew is behind the table.

Meh, i got some free time on thursday so I can help man the stand again for a bit

[zzzbang]

where will you guys set up?

[bomma]

where will you guys set up?

best bet to find us is to follow security :jerry:

[zzzbang]

well it would be disappointing if the motorcycle club isnt disturbing the peace :2guns:

[motorbyclist]

this year it might be best to set up in one of the main areas above cp36

and maybe another one after the parking is reopened

[Phurrball]

well it would be disappointing if the motorcycle club isnt disturbing the peace :2guns:

So - the TL is coming and being fired up at half-hourly intervals?? :devil2:

[Squiggles]

Tomorrow we'll have a stand, but if it rains we'll be out (for a couple of days) next week instead

[zzzbang]

nice, nice, il come by tomorrow then

[Squiggles]

Pass, we'll be out in the open and its going to piss down tomorrow. Monday & Tuesday it is.

[motorbyclist]

i am free from 11am onwards on a wednesday

[Squiggles]

*Bump* Tomorrow it is... help setting up will be much appreciated, setup at 8, need someone to cover 9-10am

[Ragingrob]

Well I'll call past just before 9 but I'm busy 9-1 I'm afraid!

[Real_Wolf]

I can cover at 9am, but only until 12. Then again, I might go home and sleep, an hour bus ride home, hour sleep, hour back to uni also sounds nice

[Squiggles]

I can cover at 9am, but only until 12.

You're it then, 9am is my only lecture for the day

[Hanne]

So Jafa and I will be out there bright and early tomorrow again!

(Yes Jafa, you DO need to come to relaease the table from its chains...)

Heaps of new sign ups today, around 90 I think?
See more of you guys in the 'am' :P

[Macros]

Managed to pop in today with my dollar in hand. :)

[Ragingrob]

Sweet where are you guys set up? May have to call by tomo early if I have time.

[Hanne]

^^ Up behind the gym near the random white toothpaste sculpture, see you then

[Real_Wolf]

went well today, got a fair few new members. Come hang out with us :D

[michael]

Hey can anyone tell me if you have to be a AU student for your club. I'm a student (not at AU) but keen to ride with people in the same financial and social stage of their lives. So I'm real keen to ride with you fullas. Plus I live 5min from Auck Uni

You dont have to be a member, all thats required by AUSA is that 70% of our members be University students... (we've got room for plenty more non-students on the books :) )


We'll be out there again tomorrow in the morning, if its wet probably in the quad

[motorbyclist]

i have only one 9am lecture so will very likely pop by

[Real_Wolf]

We totally need an area, with maybe a table but definetely somewhere to sit, for the SMC regularily. Was awesome fun today and yesterday just sitting chatting, should totally stick a stand up more often just for the chance to sit and chat, sorta like the chiller only more often

[Squiggles]

Its going to take a while to enter all these emails ><

[shingo]

Its going to take a while to enter all these emails ><

Isn't that what the office bitch secretary is for?

[Danae]

Yeah I saw you guys today and joined. Whoo!

[Slyer]

Are there any photos? I want to see what this stand looks like...

[motorbyclist]

why didn't you guys just have details entered directly into the database on of of our laptops?

[zzzbang]

yesterdays stand had hooligans revving their gsxr's :spanking: haha. was fun though, signed the sheet and had a chat.

[PirateJafa]

Did you manage to get lost between Engineering and the stand Andrew?

I recall seeing just about everyone there bar you. ;)

[motorbyclist]

i turned up to sign up, but the engineering workload has well and truly begun.

[macros87]

the one day i dnt wa;l thru that freaging quad you guys put the stand up... figures...

[Slyer]

Did anyone sign me up?

[Real_Wolf]

nah, we figured since you didn't pay last year.....

Did you make it to the stand even once andrew?

And having it written up while we're there would have been smart, only had a laptop on the second day though. Also, while we're at it, why oh why was the list of current members not in any sort of order.... surely it wouldn't have been hard to do.

zzzbang, you the guy who brought the brand new gixxer round?

yeah i stopped by today (wednesday) to sign up


it's not hard to get excel to order stuff - personally (and professionally) access is much better seeing as it's actually proper database software. access even has a means to make a form that people fill out which will automagically feed into your database

[Squiggles]

Email will go out tonight! :headbang:

[HungusMaximist]

why didn't you guys just have details entered directly into the database on of of our laptops?

Yeah, ya bunch a lazy bastards.

When I was there, they had a laptop and all they were doing was surfing kb..

[Slyer]

Am I on the email list?!

[Ragingrob]

Yo Stevo put me back on the email list I'll throw $1 at you tomorrow night.

[Magua]

Yo Stevo put me back on the email list I'll throw $1 at you tomorrow night.

Me too. I'll give you some gold when I see you next.

[macros87]

so how do i join this anyway?

[PirateJafa]

By crashing, apparently.

[macros87]

By crashing, apparently.

i think this might be a reference to something im not yet aware of.. but if thats all that's needed there was this one time when i used to ride a scooter as you may already know jafa... does that mean im in?

[Slyer]

Nah bro, epic crashes only.
Jafa can testify for mine.

[Real_Wolf]

which one, your first one when you got the bike, the many bails in the sand?

[Slyer]

Second one at muriwai tops them I think.

[Magua]

That was quite impressive. I'm still finding sand from that day.

[R6_kid]

How about phat drift to rolling stoppie to superman into the bushes on the Old Russell Road. Known ever since as the 'Rustle in Russell'.

Was apparently quite spectacular, and the only damage to my R6 was a slight scratch on the exhaust which subsequently polished out anyway.

if thats what it takes i hope i never get into this club... unless my bike ends up unscathed.... which seems unlikely, i also cry easily, making it more unlikely since i try to avoid being ridiculed.

I cry easily too. You should get a Honda.

[Slyer]

Being ridiculed is part of the whole thing!

[macros87]

yeah if you put it that way maybe i should :)


Being ridiculed is part of the whole thing!

just because its part of the experience doesn't mean its enjoyable, well not if its on my end anyway... but should you crash in a manner that produces laughter in people i will try to remember this piece of advice :)

[Slyer]

It's enjoyable for us. ;)

[xwhatsit]

Awww sad, I can give you the name of a good counsellor in the Uni Health centre if you feel a bit distraught?

If you want to sign up, come to Strata tonight at 3 or 4pm onwards and give the hairy short guy a dollar. If you're feeling really generous you could give us some ridicule in return. After you buy a round of beers.

Of course, this coming from the guy who has been to a total of what? Two chillers in the last twelve months? ;)

[Slyer]

Giving advice to a guy who has been to more chillers than he has. :bleh:

[Ragingrob]

Dammit I forgot my dollar to throw at him! I wonder if buying him a beer and throwing it at him counts?

[Slyer]

Any solid heavy object will do I think.

[xwhatsit]

Of course, this coming from the guy who has been to a total of what? Two chillers in the last twelve months? ;)
I'll be there tonight! Have to go to work before 5pm though.

[Slyer]

Tonight before 5? Are you sure you're in the right timezone?

[xwhatsit]

I operate on GMT. I refuse to bow to your overbearing capitalist directives.

nah the counsellors dont want anything to do with me anymore! whole reason i hang out with this club is to have someone to bitch at now that im left without profesional help! and if anyones getting a dollar is steven for the smc quota, all you will get from me is positive encouragement when you make the decision to buy a round :)

[Real_Wolf]

:P, everyone gives squiggz the dollar, no one knows what becomes of that money. Certainly doesn't go to pocket rockets.

Or else we'd haev enough for some new back tyres (maybe).

I still don't think anyone will get nearly as ridiculed as I will, I'm never gonna live down my xs

can somebody tell me whats the deal with your bike? its something that alluded to in several threads but no specifics seem to come to light.. i have now become curious.

[motorbyclist]

Nah bro, epic crashes only.
Jafa can testify for mine.

dunno, the aftermath was pretty epic... atleast made for a good story


:P, everyone gives squiggz the dollar, no one knows what becomes of that money. Certainly doesn't go to pocket rockets.


good point... i don't like the sound of the new (old, but we've only just found out) dictatorship he's set up with a bit of fancy paperwork...

he bought a bike without asking for advice first.

it was for sale here on KB

the seller had several threads that would put even the most determined buyers off the bike, combined with it being a rare bike to begin with for when parts were needed

he paid $1800 for it

clutch, top end, bottom end, rear end, front end, chassis, electrics and ignition barrel were all fucked. cosmetics were pretty rough too.

took it to the shop for an oil change and $300 clutch plates. mechanic failed to mention the metal found in the filter.

bike started siezing on the way home, and he rode on anyway until it completely locked up.

later, back at the shop, the mechanic informed us of the bronze looking metal in the filter, most likely from the big end bearings

took bike to several wreckers, none of which would have it

so we took it to the once place that would - stephen's shed - and left it commando styles in the bushes.

stephen didn't notice until the groundskeepers told him a week later.

bike has sat outside stephen's shed ever since

poor sob i see why we should avoid giving him shit...

[Real_Wolf]

yeah, andrew got it mostly correct.

It was 1600 or 1800, don't remember, either way was barely worth 500. Bought it in a hurry, without knowing any of these guys who could have had a look at told me i should grow some brains.

Quite a bit of it was in a 'fine' condition, indeed the things that were wrong were clutch cable, clutch, read swing arm, front tyre, loose electrics, and evidently oil filter and engine.

And I didn't ride it after it started siezing, once one cylinder blew out I was trying to simply get it to a safe place to leave it where it might still be there after

[motorbyclist]

simply get it to a safe place to leave it where it might still be there after

god only knows why - insurance payout would be the best you could hope for at the moment

[macros87]

seeing as you do seem to be in dyre need of a bike, we might agree to steal it if you leave it outside... go insure it now!

[Real_Wolf]

nah, insurance ran out. And figured the damn people who fixed it would have to fix it up, but they managed to weasle out of it, and by that time insurance was gonna be mighty suspicious.

Besides, insurance wouldn't pay out as much, and even then the bike has to be in a secure garage for a full pay out.

At least I never had to pay my insurance, since I was still on the 'assuming you will pay' month
