Thats great they paid up in the end but shouldn't of happened in the first place.

So the donation is that what a few KB's put together if HRC didn't pay up??
If so good stuff they've peeled me off the road before, they deserve it :yes:

one 'anonymous' member (yes, i know who you are), sent me this message by pm with a red bling:

"Because non of this FUSS would have happened if you'd kept ya nose out."

Sadly the member just doesn't get it. Sure the board here would have been quieter but the reputation of motorcyclists in small town NZ would have taken yet another hit.

I'd rather make a fuss and rescue bikers' reputations in reality than worry about a little fuss in cyberspace.

Thanks again to all who donated and all who offered donations: St Johns will be garteful and certainly the Franz Joseph hotel folk (and no doubt most of the people they know in the town) will also be grateful.

Good on you Mr III. Green on it's way.

:2thumbsup to all that fronted up with the $'s to reach the target.
Mr III already had the full amount pledged before I got a chance...

SO..... the $20 I was going to throw in.. I will still donate to St Johns.

Oh! and to the member who complained about the fuss. You obviously have no conscience. When I turn up in that area later in the year, I don't want to end up with hassle and tarred with the same brush due to $&^%&^%*^%^&%^& (insert relevant words here)....

From this information, I'd hazard a guess that the member lives in a large city, possibly Dorkland, and thinks that a long ride is a track day or a trip to the coffee shop.

For some of us it is important that we maintain a good reputation in the smaller towns around the country, and the response from the Franz Joseph Hotel management shows that most members of this forum do still have a good reputation in Franz Joseph at least.

someone suggested by pm that i publish the name of the naysayer who red blinged me for this thing.

sorry folks, that's just a bit too belligerent even for me. although we may disagree, everyone has a right to their opinions. it's just a pity the person became so bitter and twisted about it all.

suffice it to say i know who he is and i'm laughing at his subsequent behaviour

btw: yes, i must say a big thanks to the bloke who started the thread; without knowledge we can do nothing to prevent or make restitution for this kinda thing.

good on yer Ruralman

From the above information I'm guessing some one so bigoted must live in a small town.

The guy who instigated this lives in auckland and I'm positive others from auckland donated. Get over it already.

Yes lets get over that - the original thread was started by someone who doesn't live in any town, the subsequent actions were picked up by some good bastards in Auckland ..... hey it worked. I presume there are some embarrassed HRC members out there? Anyone spoken to them?
