| Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears... Hey guys,
Just got back from a quick blat up thru eltham out to kangaroo ground etc. On the way I went past a chick on an R1 and a dude on a ZXR. They looked to be out for pretty much the same reason as I was. Nice morning, sun out, get some k's up that didnt involve commuting. Got me thinking. Its great to get out and get a bit of heat in the tyres up thru the hills, but its even more fun when you have someone following you, or your behind someone doing the same  Im thinking of starting up a little riders club. More just for social purposes. So as when I feel like a quick blast, I might be able to find other people up for it. Its kinda hard going just thru the forum, so I thought it could be a bit more organised. Who interested? Its open for anyone, regardless of bike. About the only prerequisite is no attitudes. This isnt for tough guy, pose kinda prupose. Mainly just like minded people to get in contact. It wont be based anywhere, everyone is welcome. If your keen to put your name down just post a reply and ill look at connecting the dots  and putting us all in contact.
Cheers  |

| Re: Friends, countrymen, lend me your ears... i know there is a few guys here on the this forum from melb that would be happy to catch up for a ride but ive been on here awile and not been able to get to ride with anyone yet  will happen tho hey guys
if you want to catch up with a nice group of girls/guys that ride in melb come here http://www.cr-x.org/cbr250/forum
when the weather is nice they have at least one ride out from melb each weekend and they have regular week day meet ups for beer/dinner.. it will be a bit quiet for the next few months until it stops raining but over summer its quite normal to get 20 odd bikes on a ride and 10-20 people out for dinner on a wed/thur... and most of the guys/girls dont ride 250's anymore
Zop and i from here are members.. come have a look anyway  |

(20hrs is a pure guess on my behalf, I'm sure Z can chime in with an expert opinion after all his jetsetting) |
