Mick your right but have to let it go. It happens every ride I run, Hillend ride breakfast for example, was changed from $10 to $15 that cost me $35 because people wouldn’t or didn’t for whatever reason pay the extra $5 and it was a great breakfast.

Someone will whinge about the route taken, how long you stop, how rocky it is, the dust, the time the ride starts, it was to easy, it was to hard, you left at the start time that had been advertised all week but they aren’t ready, they had to sit on a corner for to long because of someone having a flat tyre, someone will whinge about something. But there’s normally only one and I am sure if they think about it and be fair dinkum they would realise the world doest rotate around them and they are part of a group on a ride. Then there are the people that have a great time every time take the good and the bad and enjoy it so the good makes the bad not even worth worrying about.

Its human nature and it happens, whatever trevor I say everyone is different it makes the world go round some how :huh: :huh:

As far as sunny corner goes, go and pay and support the event I say, me I choose not to go because reasons that are my own, but money isn’t it. I would think it would be more of a social event then a ride

The $25 a head event was my birthday bash ride,every cent paid by the riders went into paying for the event,plus more out of my own pocket and it really jerked my chain when someone who only joined the site so they could take advantage of the ride got on here and whinged about having to wait on corners and having to pay to ride in State forest blah blah blah.
Then there was the bloke who came up to KTMBULL’s place,the deal was$25 per person for all your meals from lunch saturday to lunch Monday,plus the use of his MX track and his private trails.One tight arse said “I am only having lunch so here’s $5”, he then had the gaul to be there for two days and help himself to a whole box of jerky supplied by or sites sponsor,Jack Links when he left and not a word of thanks.
Like I said,there is no pleasing some pricks.

I think the word whinger was warranted in the context it was used in my previous post. There where plenty of hard doer family men on my birthday ride and they all had a ball. As a bloke with a mortgage and two kids that race, I for one can’t afford to go one every ride that is organised on here,so I vote with my wallet as to what rides I can afford the cash and brownie points to go on,it doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like to go on the rides,it is a matter of economics and marital bliss.

Good post Mick.

But think about this – It’s better to bask in the glory of putting on a good ride that the people that matter enjoyed, to those that belly ached and were scab arses with not paying their way, well they don’t matter and karma will have it’s way with them.

nundle in july was the same deal,,I`m out of pocket if someone didnt cough up for the $20.00 lunch, i was lucky that I had all the nice people on my ride,,,LOL

[mikeMember]

sounds like a bargain mate. $25 does’nt even get ya a carton these days. i know if i lobb at a mates place for a weekend ride i always bring one as a gester. some blokes are just born to stuff up the natural flow of things though.they can’t help it mate they’re just idiots.normally everyone’s on to em and writes em off as cockheads anyway so they don’t get many more invites. live and learn from the arseholes.

To quote an age old adage……..You’re right Dusty.

There’s always one in every crowd

don’t worry about it mick. if every bumhole in the world took their piece of you. you would still be bigger

deep down, you know who you are and we know it too.

thanks mate

[AlexMember]

Yep, fair enough Mick.
You know how people are nowdays, there are those that expect nothing and those that expect everything.
It makes selecting friends and riding buddies quite easy!
Sadly however, the “expect everything” people of this world that we generally despise seem to have a knack at getting into positions of power, make lots of money and make decisions on our behalf based on making more money…

[Eric SmithMember]

Just further to Axel’s first post and my earlier comment that it was too expensive for a 1 day ride.

Given the options I have to ride (ie few and far between, and money is tight) I am better off spending my money on a two or three day ride like, say, DBW9 at Catombal ($115 for 3 days uncatered) or the Zig Zag – Hill End Ride with TB (TB, I’ll personally send you $35 to sort you out for breakfast mate, even though I paid the extra $5 at the time, that was a top weekend!). Another option is something like the Coonabarabran Pony Express (1 day cost me $100 including 1-day licence, also uncatered). It is all about bang for the buck with me.

I am not criticising the organisers of Sunny Corner or the ride – I have been the last two years. But my $150 stays in my overdraft until I see a ride that doesn’t have 900 other blokes on it and cost that much. Next year, if times are better, family commitments slow down a bit and I feel like it, I will consider Sunny Corner again. Then again, I might be better off putting that money towards the OBT Christmas party next year!

You have to realise it is a buyers market and the price being asked by Sunny Corner is reaching the upper limit in my opinion.

Flame suit on!

wooh.. we are getting back into yesterday’s sociology debate

[Mick DMember]

Anyhow back on topic, I would hate to be the organisers of Sunny Corner, imagine trying to keep 900 riders happy,all who have paid $150 each.
Good luck to the organisers and all the riders who attend.It is a great fund raiser for the school involved. The thought had crossed my mind to do something similar up this way and involve the local service clubs.But have since placed it in the too hard basket for the time being.

i think a lot of the crew who do these big events don’t have the oppotunity to get out on their bikes much due to other commitments. so a big social event planned months in advance is easy for them to get back with riding mates for a weekend.

they also get to ride with little fear of having a head-on. thats has to be worth a little bit too.

i don’t bag out rides. so good on the organisers

[Anonymous]

I’m with Mick, the birthday ride was tops and the food layout and organisation by Mick and Rider X was second to none. One of the best biking weekends I’ve had.

Like Mick said there was a guy that whined about. If there is a genuine reason to complain or for a whinge then fair enough, but his was unwarranted and he won’t be welcome on furture rides. We don’t need that sort of person involved in OBT. 99.9% of people that go on any organised ride here have a great time, and that’s a ggod part of the reason why OBT is so successful
