View Full Version : Wellington: BEARs Social Group?

British,European,American Racing

So, I was thinking, this could be a good way to 'kick off' the possibility of a BEARs Club in the future, It would be great to see a strong club following in the north, like the South boys n gals have (if there is enough interest up here).

I was thinking of attempting a casual meet. Monthly?? fortnightly??, or weekly??(might break the winter week long boring blues) for the keen folk. Not necessary to own/ride a BEARs bike, or even own a bike of any description. Any make/brand welcome (coz we aint biasd), its the enthusiasm to try and get something rolling towards bringing back BEARs support/events/racing in the North that we are after.
Thoughts i have are along the lines of meeting up for dinner and/or Drinks at a bike friendly bar (Parrot and Jigger in Alicetown are MORE than accommodating). For now at least while the arctic weather is nagging us. With a view to riding out on weekends that suit, and summer evening rides for those that are able/keen. In the hope that a strong following will build us into trackdays/club racing and more.

Any thoughts welcome....positive or negative (don't hurt my feelings too bad though eh!... or I may have to slap you!:(:msn-wink:)

If any of you are keen, register some interest here, or PM me. Lets get something rolling so one day our own NI Sound of Thunder can happen!:Punk:

Cheers

Awsome! Cheers Sonykid. Its a wee way off yet, but Im not giving up. If we can get enough interest from Palmy as well then we surely can sort out some joints meets.

it would be fantastic! If enough guys n gals come forward Im sure we can at least work towards getting some Club racing alive!

Doesn't seem to be a lot of interest yet. Thank you to those of you who have responded. Keep telling ya mates!!!
If I can get a few more definite responses then I'm setting a date for us to catch up in the next couple of weeks. Or perhaps I should just DO IT! and see what happens. I'm not going to be discouraged if I find its just me and my bike sitting at a bar all night waiting........:o LOL

Is there a BEARS nationwide org or anything like that, maybe similar to Triumph's RAT?
Never heard of anything in my area HB.
Would be neat to have a BEARS setup like the RAT one.
Provincial groups together, meeting up etc.

Was thinkin last night when Vick posted up that there doesn't seem to be too much interest in wellington as yet (give ppl time to find the thread, i know at least 1/2 doz yet that aint posted) that i know a shit load more bears riders that aint on kiwibiker than are !
Get out there and start a HB meet maybe once a week or fortnight or whatever and who knows what might happen ! Don't have to be KBers aye
Once a few of them are in place we could even get together and count heads as to how many would be keen on a race meet ! I for one am happy to chip in and invest a bit of dosh in hiring manfield (when i have it that is lol)

Definitely, the way I see it is that a social group is a good start. If we can broaden this group across the country we'll have a strong support base to get BEARs up and alive and kicking butt:woohoo:

Would love to have your support chick! not sure about the crash crew skills though....BEARs riders dont ever crash... its their bikes that do :msn-wink:

None really showed interest and asked...'why', as in regards to starting a group........fuck's sake.:confused:
But, early days I guess. Might be harder than thought.

Nothings ever easy, people either want to be involved, or just dont have the time. Keep working on it Dooly! I had mentioned the idea to a few friends who also showed minimal interest. So I just posted it up here anyway. Even if 3 people turned up tomorrow night it would be a start. But if 3 grew into 200 Bears riders racing around Manfield one day, then its all been worth it:sunny:

Could change the thread title to BEAJ'S to save any confusion about this being a race orientated thang, but all Good (read better than BEAJ'S) ideas wellcome lol
