Thu night ride...
I'm not here to kiss butts, I know the Qks put in a shit load of effort to get this up and running and who the hell are we to ruin it?
Constructive criticism is always welcome (well in my camp anyway) If I'm being a dick, point it out. No problems. I expect the same of others. Beat me up and I'll be pissed off but anything life threatening will get a mention. Skidmark and JSG come up for occassional comment, and no doubt so do many others.
Cops and tickets happen. It's their job so don't bitch about it. Stepping into the line of fire is a warning I've heard in the debrief at the beginning of every Thu night ride I've been on, it's even in the disclaimer on the calendar item. I do it from time to time, and should I get snapped I wear it.
Let's all play grownups and do the same.
The vitreole I spit out in here, targetted at one or two from time to time, is based on 22 years experience on a bike, is always open to defence or challenge
I have 2 suggestions
1) Cats fights be taken outside. Why make enemies online when you then have to ride with them offline. Any shite posts in here get moved deleted or another thread started. Precious toes will be walked on. Accept it, move on
2) To the Qk's. I see the right to ban people from rides is mentioned in the disclaimer of the sticky. Dunno if that right is being exercised, but should you need to I'll respect it one way or t'other.
Despite it being a KB ride, there's no question who organises it, who's in charge and who we have to listen to. This isn't school, the Qk's aren't somehow resposible for our actions, but they do put the effort in, they provide an opportunity to have a lot of fun, and the bitching, backstabing and squabbling doesn't help at all.
At the end of the day, someone is in control - that's Steve and Dawn. It's a simple case of logistics. If you don't like the ride - don't come.
Fuck - this comes across so condescending - sorry guys... but... Speedie, 6pack - you guys have your reasons.. no worries. You choose not to come, or to come on occasion... whatever.
Maybe others should follow that example rather than turn this more and more into a weekly shitfight
