Yeah, and most of them are too stuck up to talk to a chick that rides. Only had a proper convo with one biker at uni, the rest don't want to know.

I'm not inclined to put effort into organising anything. But I am a little surprised that none already exists. Does the weather/short days/icy roads get too shitty down here for decent riding in winter? I've assumed people who tell me that to be soft and wrong but do you that it might have some influence on the lack of people who want to going riding far during the University year?

Pffft! You've never come and spoken to me! lol.

I've tried to speak with a couple of people but they seem un-interested. What's up with the ride days being on friday from 1100-1500?! Everyone I know has classes at least in the morning or afternoon......

Ohh, I finally got a freakin locker. I was persistant and nagged to sort out some sort of waiting list. She would'nt have a bar of it, I was'nt going away, then all of a sudden, "ohh, I think there might be one, but we need to check them". Next day I had a choice of two.

I'm of the opinion that they were always available and she just could'nt be bothered checking.....

Oh well I have a locker now!

Oh, and as for the chick that rides thing.....I think that's cool.

You sure these are bikers? There are other clubs where men in leather congregate and ignore women you know.

Is yours the yellow gixxer?

And ok so maybe it's not because I'm a chick, it might just be that they are snobs to everyone. I've had a 250 rider ask me if I wanted to swap bikes, and I talk regularly to the guy that owns the blue ER6n, but that's it.

It is a fail time for a ride though, I've got tutorials then so wouldn't be able to make them either.

Oh good, it's a lot easier having a locker!

Yep that's the one. It's the one that has'nt been at uni for a week now due to "FI problems".......fluckin suzukis! (more to do with the fact it's getting old now rather than being a suzi I suspect but my mech was'nt really all that surprised......)
