Club behaviour?

[ital916]

Just wanted to get a quick count of opinions as far as club rules go. Seeing as this year the club seems to have a decent amount of positions and dedicated organisers, it seems that club rules of behaviour should be drafted.

Not sure what they should be but maybe behaviour like twelve o clocking rides in the car park and pulling burnouts arent the best of ideas as we have seen how uni security already doesnt like us being there.

Also for the patch idea, if riders are wearing a club patch ensure that behaviour whilst wearing the patch is a good reflection upon the club.

Just putting it out there for thought.

Dushy

[Slyer]

Be considerate and don't break the law?
Seems to pretty much cover it.

[ital916]

Thanks for the tag sam, I guess I was correct in saying you are a prepubescent twelve year old.
:finger:, at least I know who does that tag now.

[Slyer]

What tag? I seriously never ever tag anything.
Don't assume it was me just because I posted... how shortsighted of you.

[PirateJafa]

Maybe no unintentional twelve o'clocking? :Pokey:

Wheelies are always big and clever.

[R6_kid]

Is it a motorcycle club or a day care group?

Don't make me slap your black ass dushy.

[PirateJafa]

Shite, if I have to behave while wearing the logo then I'd never be allowed to ride.

+1.

What's this `patch' anyway. We're not a motorcycle club motorcycle club. Simply a university club focused around bikes.

Start adding rules and codes of conducts you change the dynamic.

Whoever tagged `hallway monitor' is on the money.

[Ixion]

Rules ? RULES ??? WTF Since when were there rules ? Someone tell me what they are so I can break them all. I don't do rules.

[Phurrball]

This country already has many laws that apply people in its realm.

The University has rules.

AUSA has rules regarding clubs.

AUSMC does not need more rules. The preceding more than cover it.

Treat others as you'd like to be treated - as Slyer suggests - how's that for a rule? We don't need any more. (And I'm a rule man ;))

I think you're asking for trouble starting this thread Dushy.

Especially given the way things seem to be heading in your second post.

(If the prez wasn't so laissez faire, he might remove the thread before the gnashing and wailing starts - but it's not his style, and I respect that, so play nicely people!)

The SMC seems to work nicely with self regulation and common sense (failure?)

Rule number 1 - Secretaries must wear a dress

Ima ride where i wanna ride, fuck yea!

ima smash what i wanna smash, fuck yea!

rules? were motorcyclists for fucks sake!

Rule number 1 - Secretaries must wear a dress

I vote this rule into effect!

I also propose that when on tour that we must take our own rubbish home!

Dushy

Just dont turn up at the Puhoi Pub wearing a patch when the Headhunters are there, they will kick your arse into next week.
Y'all should be ok with 'The Seeds Of Abraham'...;)

[PirateJafa]

The first rule of Fight Auckland Uni Scooter'n Motorbike Club is: you do not talk about AUSM Club. The second rule of AUSM Club is: you DO NOT talk about AUSM Club!

[motorbyclist]

i think what we can gather thus far, dushi, is that no; we do not need a code of conduct beyond self responsibility and common sense, which i hope we all try to maintain in our daily lives anyway


btw it's NOT a patch, it's a "logo" :rolleyes:

[The Pastor]

dushy dose raise a point, its much eaiser to tell someone to change if they are breaking the code of conduct etc.

lets put it into perspective, ages ago on the cheese cutter campain ride, carver and sidewinder (or was it pathos) did wheelies etc this was picked up by the media. Now if they were SMC how do you think auckland Uni would feel about one of thier clubs pulling wheelies.

on the other hand, fuck the rules.

[motorbyclist]

well 99.9% of the riders there had the common sense to behave on that ride - rules can't account for idiocy, if anything they encourage it

[ital916]

sorry sam, I assumed it was you as the post had two views, one of them being you....i dont retract my 12yr old statement tho :whistle: *wanted me to get rid of the boobie avata:whistle:r..grumble*.

Funny that a club with no rules, fuck yeah, I is gonna go pulls some burnies in the carpark later..WOOT.......not.

Thought the more more active members of the club would be pro for it. Renegade gets it...again.

I wont delete this thread ross, it encourages discussion *bashing*. Oh and r6, you can try slap my black ass around but you might end up picking pieces of bottle out of your head again lol.

Oh well guess you guys are to badass for me, Ill let the point rest in peace.:grouphug:

it was sidewinder and i!
the media did not know about us

quasi made a big deal out of it and had a cry about how it was being made a big deal!

most bins wins!

wow... hostile

[Squiggles]

Dont pull out of a debate before its truly started.
You want us to rule our members? To have the can and cant do's as if we're a secret society, that is somewhat amusing. We have informal rules, based on common sense, such as: You wear a helmet, you dont get pissed and ride... Do we need more? Who are we to dictate to others and force our ideals upon them?
Quote me and answer the questions! :)

[macros87]

wow... hostile

that happens.. just remember the rest of us can be :calm: and just plain nicer :hug:

although you do make a good point dushi re: certain unacceptable behaviours being declared unacceptable by a code of conduct, it is not exactly moral to impose it onto members of a university motorcycle club. how would you feel if the drinking club imposed on it's members a rule that everyone had to get smashed in public at least once a year??

but on a bigger picture note, i think it is a good idea from the view point that the more active members proactively inform people who are doing dumb shit around uni ie. cp36 (or whatever the hell it's called) like people who park in an idiotic fashion, or people who gun it around there, or people who come in and/or exit through alfred/symonds sts. although ,since chris has left most of the gunning it, burnouts and wheelies have ceased...:whistle:

[motorbyclist]

except for those done by a certain scooter rider....

[Real_Wolf]

Above and beyond the "do we need rules" we have to think about how the hell would we enforce them?

The only actual clout the club has is "you get kicked out of the club" which means, well, your not officially in the AUSMC.

So beyond kicking people out, after which they'd still continue going and doing whatever rule they broke to get kicked out, how would we convince them to do otherwise other than explaining it to them and hoping they listen.

Thus, no rules, no regulations, just plain common sense

[Phurrball]

Was something specific concerning you young Dushy? What sort of rules did you have in mind? Code of conduct type? Constitutional??


sorry sam, I assumed it was you as the post had two views, one of them being you....i dont retract my 12yr old statement tho :whistle: *wanted me to get rid of the boobie avata:whistle:r..grumble*

I'd have thought that as the OP, you would have sought to keep it on point.

FWIW the avatar is rather pre-pubescent and smacks of sneaking behind the bike sheds at intermediate with an ill-gotten tug mag. Boobies are great, but those are distracting and annoying. Make it static FFS!



Thought the more more active members of the club would be pro for it. Renegade gets it...again.

RM and yourself miss the point that rules already exist.

NZ laws; university rules; AUSA rules. Why duplicate?

What you're talking about WRT teh cheesecutter ride is PR: rules allow consequences for a breach.

No rule could have prevented dumbass antics at the cheesecutter ride.

There were cameras and a crowd...certain people always play up given the oxygen of publicity.

As stated, 99.9% DID follow the CONVENTIONS of common sense and courtesy. Conventions have no binding effect other than on the conscience of those involved.

That's where we're at as a club. I quite like it this way. We all play pretty nicely most of the time.

Re read my post.

I never said delete the thread. I implied that a prudent mod might delete the thread based on the direction your second post was taking it. And that Sir Squiggs wouldn't as he is ultra hands-off, which is fine as people can and do hang themselves with their own words.

I'll discuss many a thing all day. I discuss well. I like to discuss.

FWIW I'm glad there has been some discussion, although I think that it's a moot point as there is nothing to remedy as the club does not need rules per se.

The only thing I can think of would be a more comprehensive constitution? Though I don't think that's what you were getting at, as that's procedural rules rather than operational rules.

Oh, and I quite agree - the club design is a logo, not a patch. Patches ask for trubs.

Re the rules for the carpark - these are pretty clear, though I'm not sure if they're formalised.

[HungusMaximist]

Just some basic common courtesy or whatever code of conduct will do.

If you see some stupid shit, tell them as it is. We're not here to enforce anything but we should all make a habit of informing people so that they don't ruin it for the rest us. Simple really.

Btw, we're all adults here... Well most us are anyway...

[Danae]

except for those done by a certain scooter rider....

:whistle:

I'm still not quite sure if it was fail or win. My brakelight still works so win in that respect

[xwhatsit]

:whistle:

Sounds like win to me.

My Honda C50 pulls mean wheelies too, but it's a bit easier as there's a gear lever you can press down on to disengage the clutch... rev it out... let go and it pops back into first.

That's how I broke the original brake light. $40 for a new lens, will try not to do it again! 4.4hp@10,000rpm is a brutal thing when unleashed!

[Chrislost]

although ,since chris has left most of the gunning it, burnouts and wheelies have ceased...:whistle:

Sounds like its time to visit the bottom carpark again...

[Phurrball]

Does anyone else find it wryly ironic that this thread has moved off topic...

















...onto discussing 12 o'clock wheelies on improbable machinery...

:rofl:

Internet forum dynamics win again!

[Ixion]

BSA Bantam was *the* machine for 12 oclock wheelies.

Rev the engine as hard as y' dared, drop the clutch, up she'd come, slide backwards off the seat and run along behind the vertical bike.

No power, but heavy as flywheel will do it every time

[Ixion]

Hey, what about a race on that basis? Running along behind a vertical wheelying motorbike. See, powerful machines will fail cos the runner won't be able to keep up.

It'd be a race until the carbs ran out of fuel?

Wynard street for scooter drags! Never actually seen a car on it and I think there's only the one little speedbump all the way down the end. But it'd be awesome.

Will have to check tomo :wacko:

FI bikes have auto chokes.

[xwhatsit]

FI bikes have auto chokes.
Strictly speaking it's not really a choke; no air is blocked, the computer just feeds in more fuel than usual.

I don't like the idea of FI, means I'd have to start carrying around a battery.

[Phurrball]

FI bikes have auto chokes.

Should you not be dragging us back on topic?

On the off topic: Not all - some have a manual fast idle lever, and it ain't technically a choke (EDIT: Tom got there first) ;) Aren't you supposed to be the Engineering student though?

Most newer ones are have auto enriching for start up though. Handy that.

I'm quite fond of the fueling a carb can give. Has a nice 'soft' edge to the power delivery and lacks the snatch that FI can serve up.

I miss the cavernous 48mm flat slides on my Firestorm. A little anyway...I don't miss the fuel bill.

As for FI FTW - weren't WWII Messerschmitt fighters FI? They didn't win... QED? or not...

[gavjn]

but u dont have 2 choke it 2 start it. unnecessary inconvenience

Amal carbs had that. Was called a tickler. Didn't need a choke just tickle the bastard.

Messerthingies were FI, yith. Mechanical but, not electronic, on account of electons hadn't been invented. Was very good, they could fly upside down which the Spitfires couldn't (not for long, anyway) , which proves that FI is better.

Or pumper carb. Twist the throttle three-four times then kick. I don't even have the choke cable connected.

no choke on cold mornings...hmmm might be running a tad rich?, I dont need to choke mine but then I know she runs a bit rich.

[Phurrball]

Behaviour of club members' cold start systems? Starting code of conduct?

Off-topic SMC wins!

We just need a poll on carbs VS FI and a mention of whether you wave when starting and to whom.

(My neighbours might once have waved...their fists...when I started the Firestorm at 6.15am to go to work!)

[Chrislost]

rich at 1500 RPM is good for a bike that revs to 15,000

You people do realise, don't you, that some of us read these threads from the top down.

And reading "There are 2, they are bouncy" sets an expectation that is cruelly dashed when a few threads further on it revealed that it is speed bumps being discussed !

There is only one thing worth discussing which comes in bouncy pairs.
