Hi Hatto

I have already pm’ed you with my reason but So others know:
I would still be in had it been 3 full days of riding , the cost was not a problem and the fact it’s a tour company makes no difference to me.

I would spend a lot longer driving than riding and that’s not the right way round in my book.
If a longer ride came up in the high country I would be very interested as I dought I would get the
chance other than with obt.
I didn’t back out of this one easily and was gutted once I did.
Hope the ride still goes ahead I’m sure it will be awesome

Nick

Please don’t take this the wrong way Nick, It is not a witch hunt, I am just trying to gather reasons for the future ride organising eg If cost is the issue(Than we wouldn’t organise a ride like this), If distance is an issue (than we wouldn’t organise a ride so far away) etc etc
thanks for the reply

Hi Hatto,

For me it was about too much happening at that time.. Cameron’s Corner trip will cost me a fair amount of coin and the wife just wouldn’t let me do both..

I really want to do it, however “The Minister of Finance” won’t allow it..

$495 I reckon is good value and would be surprised if anyone complains about that..

Cheers…
Chris………..

Thanks for input Krusty, I don’t care if someone complains about the price,if that is what has swayed there decision, fine/great at least it helps in the future ride planing. I am just trying to gain info so we can better plan in the future

Hi All
I need some feedback here guy/gals about this ride.(now before anyone takes offence, I am just after feedback/answers)

I’m having a hard time with this situation

We have posted up a ride for the high country looking for expressions of interest, we get alot of positive feedback with 35-40 replies (count me in/extremely keen)

So we organise it, and now we only have 13 replies total(both for and against)so I am trying to find out why.

Is it the distance that you have to travel for the ride ???

Is it the cost of the ride ???

Is it the weekend availability ???

Is it because it’s a tour company (or specific tour company)???

We want some discussion on this, because if we don’t know the reasons behind, than we can’t address in the future.

A lot of time and effort goes into organising these things, and on this one we have tentative bookings for accom, meals etc, because we thought we would easily get the numbers based on the responses received,now it looks like it’s not going to happen and I hate leading people along and then cancelling out.

So please tell me your thoughts(good bad whatever) again it’s not having a go at anybody, we just don’t want to make the same mistakes when organising again in the future.

Don’t be shy, be truthful

cheers hatto

Hi All
Here’s the deal. It’s time for a commitment.
The time for maybe’s & I’m keen are over, we need solid commitment. If you are unsure, you need to decide quick or miss out. If you know someone who is on the interested list that may not visit the site all that often, tell them to get it sorted or they may miss out.

The date has been set for the 20-21st November 2010 (Now a 2 day ride)

Our tour leader will be Lyndon Heffernan (he also supplies sweeps)
Turn up with a full tank of fuel and after that all meals, fuel and accomodation is part of the tour (included in price)

We will be leaving Tom Groggan Station around 8am sat morn and returning sometime sunday pm

The cost will be around $495.00

I’m sure there will be a few of us who will travel down there fri and need accomodation that night, I will work on that and get back to you all (this will be on you and not part of the ride cost)

This is some great off road riding with Hills, Rocks, creek crossings etc etc, I did one of these rides a couple years back, which is where i met KING CRASH and found out about this site (we had a great weekend)

Once Heffo sorts out the accomodation, there will be more info forth coming.

The ride will be capped at 25 RIDERS so it will be first in best dressed (sorry to be blunt but thats the way it is)

Once Heffo forwards the forms I will post up on here and it will be up to you to pay the deposit direct to Heffo (direct Deposit). He will be given a cut off date for deposits to keep it fair for all, If your deposit is not paid by then you miss out. No excuses – never ever :laugh: :laugh:

Once that deposit is rec’d by him, he will forward all other info direct to you.

There will be a list in the events /rides forum which will be locked but you will be able to see if you are one of the lucky ones in on this ride

You need to reply to me PM and you will be added to the list here riders list

Thats all for now

cheers Hatto

Hi Hatto,

CathiM and I are booked in to do Saturday (coaching clinic) with KTM Tours then Sunday Apex.

Will have my new Old Bull tee-shirt on. Will keep an eye out for you.

Went out to Pork Chop hill the other weekend….. It was good for a look only. Just running down the powerlines to get to Pork Chop was enough fun.

I believe we have a good size girlie group attending and DirtbikeWorld are doing an article/photo’s. Will push the OBT name.

Kat

Thats great Kat, enjoy the clinic, I will be there sat morning and will have a ride sat pm, will try to catch up with you.

cheers Hatto
