    Existence of other University Motorcycle Clubs?

    Is there really life on mars? Apparently we are not alone...

    The Auckland Uni bike club seeks fellow university clubs for long walks on the beach, romantic dinners, and drunken toga parties. Rumour has it such a group exists in Chch, could be love at first sight!

    Also seeking old members from past Uni Bike Clubs, share ya stories ya oldies.

    Nah UC doesn't have a dedicated motorcycle or scooter club.

    We have Motosoc, the general motorsports club, which among things such as drum and bass, paddock driving, 4x4, and car track and dyno days also covers road and dirtbikes.

    Usually a fairly good turnout for the road rides we do go on, but they're infrequent and organised through student email. We also had a dyno day in conjunction with the cars. And we've done a few group track visits.

    The road bike pres is CBR250Tom if you actually wanna chat about it.

    UC used to have a bike club, was a member in the 90's. Remember one ride out Akaroa way, I was on the GSXR750 and was whupped on the twisties by much smaller bikes. To be fair I had never been on the road (oh, and ride like a nana) but was still a good lesson...
    Where's that fucking spanner...

    We should open a Motosoc thread on here, as far as I can tell there isn't one yet. I'm not actually a part of Motosoc, but I've met a couple of the guys from Wednesday Night Rides here in Chch. When's the next track day?

    Motosoc used to be good, did quite a bit of work for them (on the commitee) and had a few good rides. Went to the dogs when they decided to incorporate cages IMHO. That's when I left anyway.

    I heard that most of them were all so startlingly attractive that they ascended to a higher realm. There were apparently a few left behind, but they are of course the ugly ones

    There being no success in locating motorcycle clubs in other universities, I suggest extending the search to looking for motorcycle clubs in other universes. I'll keep my eyes open.

    as yet, nobody at Otago, I thought about starting one up last year. there's enough around to start one up though. If you feel inclined to look into starting one down here, i could put you in touch with some others that may be interested
