do me a favour and come to bp carlton to gas up......would be awesome to have the forecourt swarming with bikes again. if one of the ulysses guys come in [like the guy with the beard....whats his name? lance?] ill pass on a donation for the benefit.

You,re not welcome on the ride,or the club?.I,ve heard there,s a few there that seem to to be wrapped up in their own self importance,just tell them to get fucked.

HaHa yeh in the club

It all stemmed from when I was at the 'Capitol Knees up' and made a comment in a group of Ulysses (seniour) members when we were discussing getting membership numbers up...... One of the presidents said they think they have sort of reached a saturation point in that age bracket and I said have they thought about maybe lowering the age to 35 with the condition the person can become a conditional member and have NO voting rights and NO right to hold office in any way therefore protecting what Ulysses is "an over 50s group" so no-one younger can 'hijack' the organization..... basically they will have access to the rides and to the magazine subscription.
This friend got all hissy at that comment (which was actually only semi serious on my part also believing Ulysses should be for the 40s upward age group LOL)

But .... its not that important ... a member here is trying to talk me into joining Manawatu instead LMAO ... she might succeed so alls well.

And yeh ... you have it in ALL groups where there will be a few that think they're more important than others... guess if we looked deep enuf we would find a few here too ... part of human nature to get the sickle out and try to top :eyepoke: the tall poppies eh

Alls good tho .... Ive got thick skin and even thicker leathers hahahahahahahhaha

[vs04]

Yeah, i,m in the triumph owners club here in wanganui,i,ve heard that there,s some members who dont like the idea of jap riders joining[not our club but others]but they still take their membership subs,funny that.On our monthly ride if it was,nt for the jap cruisers etc there,d be stuff all showing up on quite a few occasions.

nya: been a club member of uylsses since i was fourty:motu and a fella that hits at the club's foundational rule can stay out of this club.. 35 or 25, never never fourty its an age that is taken as a club rule that you can vote,atten rallies, atten agm,, the only rule you can not get until the tender age of fifty is its age badge,,

Im the guy whose gas bottle you filled up one sunday morning while we talked about the up coming triumph rally.Was,nt at the rally as such but did do the bbq out at the basin the morning of the ride.The ride this week is up to taranaki i think, wont be on that one, maybe next month.Bruce is leading next months ride i believe,if you can try and get on that one,he does a good job of leading,always looking out for others and making sure they,re comfortable with the pace etc.

[sunhuntin]

was wondering if that was you! yep, i remember, down bp taupo quay. im mainly over at the carlton site now [by the splash center] dont like taupo quay.

will try for next months ride....have got an application from the club here, but not sure whether to join or not.

how many on the ullysses ride? i counted about 19. had 2 come in and fill up. pity about the weather, but good on those that did show up!

I counted about 17, didn,t go myself wimped out because of the weather but went and had a look anyway.Have a good think about the triumph club,as far riding is concerned,in my opinion there is,nt enough,i feel that there should be more riding,socialising,etc but unless all members get of their ass and organise things it just seems to plod along with the usual charity stuff,with rides in between.

I agree 100% with that,if it was,nt for those two there would,nt be a club.The money thats raised for different causes is awesome and raising the profile of the club is also a good thing,it,s become a well respected club here in wanganui,shit, even one of the local cops has bought a triumph and rides with us.
