I've tried contacting WIMA to on more than one occasion and they never got back to me either so I just gave up on them. A bit like Cajun's wife's situation I suppose.

Ooooppppsss...I meant "female".

Nah it doesn't really bother me either b/c I think if someone is stoopid enough to label me before they know then it's their loss! I'm too busy enjoying the ride to worry about gimps with a narrow mind. I do always think "COOL!!" when I see another woman rider though.

I look after the WIMA website... Email addresses for different areas are on the info page... Sounds like one person has let you down. Marion definately won't, nor most of the others.

Hi kiwizxr

It was your website that drew my attention to Wima. As a female biker I really love riding with the guys but sometimes a more sedentry pace is good as an alternative. I have enjoyed every WIMA ride ...but once again it seems the minority may just tarnish a good name.

I was hoping to get the gals on here out for a ride but it kinda misfired. Hope you can provide feedback to solve the problems in the BOP perhaps?

Hi Guy's

I have just read out your concerns to my wife who happens to be the Treasurer for Wima in NZ and she is surprised you are having so much trouble contacting Wima if you PM me I will pass on your details etc.

The PO Box for Wima NZ is PO box 9861 Wellington or you could contact them by e-mailing to captain@wima.org.nz this is Yvonne

Sedentry?...geez Maduck, I found when riding with them, especially DOB's it made my hair stand on end trying to keep up with them.

**Pickle** · 11th July 2004, 19:41

Wima are tring to distance themselves from being DOB's but they do welcome all bikers along on their rides

**MadDuck** · 11th July 2004, 19:46

hahahaha..yeah Katwyn I agree the WIMA Ladies are not slow but damn you ever been on a KB ride....

Cant comment about the other group you mention as I have never been along. Just prefer to stick with WIMA thats all.

I haven't been on a KB ride because of my group riding experiences in the
past. 4 bikes is about the limit I stick too on group rides. At the moment, my bike is on rego exemption over the winter months-so couldnt go for a ride anyway.

DOB's...well, some of the WIMA rides I went on was predominantly the DOB's turning up and no one else.....so my thoughts were, at least they were supporting the ride so I just go with the flow.
