Hi Ciaran,

Just a note to say hi !! Just back to dreary wet Ireland from the hols in South Africa. Unfortunately I was without Wing, 'cause the roads and scenery there are simply astounding.I wil talk to you soon at the "Causeway Run".

By the way, as these Sunday runs are getting bigger all the time, could I suggest that in the interest of continueing safety, that the "marshalls" be kitted in some sort of reflective vest, or something that would make them easily identifyable to everyone? (Big yellow flag maybe...)

I know we all want a fun day out, butwith the large numbers it seems to be getting more difficult to keep everyone together. I don't want to see backmarkers speeding to catch up etc.,and that has been happening. What do you think?The CBers are a great help, but for those not so equipped a little visual aid would be helpful.

Keep up the great work Ciaran,

Regards

Steve18

Hi Steve

Welcome back ,yes I have organised flourescent waistcoats and I will be getting a team of marshalls together for a training course ,,So if anybody wants to volunteer give me a shout ,,one major factor is the marshalls must have a CB on the bike ...for communicating with each other ,,So looking forward to seeing you on sunday ,,,dont forget the sambos and flask ...Ciaran

Yes I agree 100% with these comments. Anything that improves road safety must be applied. Wexman has to be applauded for the huge effort he has put into organising these runs, and it's important that everyone puts their toe to the line when it comes to road safety.

I see the rules have been changed for this run with regard to the type of motorcycle you ride. I understood that these were runs organised for people who ride a honda goldwing. Is this changedbecause someone on the gwoci site complained. Wexman you are the person who organises these runs, and you have the support of everyone involved, dont allow anyone to call the shots for you. We have waited a long time for someone to organise things like this, If this gentleman does'nt like your rules he does'nt have to travel. The amount of work that you put into organising these runs is unreal. Let anyone try it. You make the rules and we abide by them.

There are people who are assosiate members of the goldwing club that have other motorcycles ,which I did not know about ,They have to be made welcome as are all other budding goldwing owners ,I know I organised these runs on amy own because I was fed up waiting for the club to do anything ,but now the runs have got so big and popular ,that I have to rethink the whole structure of them ,,I am open to all suggestions good and bad and I will listen to all critics and I will also take on board everybodys point of view,Michael king made a valid point which I had over looked and hopefully have rectified ,,so we will see how next sunday goes ...I also think that anybody who has been on the runs and is not a member of the club should now join ,,The club officers have now seen just how many people want to get out on there bikes and I think they will take it on board and hopefully for the next season organise these runs at club level,,,thank you all for your support and to all the people who phoned me on this issue ,,My moto is live and let live .enjoy your bikes and the run ..the goldwing club is all about friendlness and welcome so lets keep it that way and welcome all motorcyclists into our runs ,,One warning if these runs start developing into sportsbikes racing ,I will pull in and head for home ...cheers Ciaran

Wexman, I hope everything works out for you. Mr Kings pointis far from valid. These runs have absolutely nothing to do with the gwoci. :XI did'nt see him organising many runs. I hope these changes wont keep away the goldwing riders. If we are waiting for club officers to organise runs we will have hairon our teeth. You stated that there were two goldwing riders on the last run acting the cowboy, you have'nt seen anything yet. I ride an R1 occasionally, when I want to play hard and I most certainly would not bring her on a goldwing run as a matter of courtesy to the goldwing riders. As I stated in a previous post, "You make the rules and we all abide by them" and if some other member wishes to organise runs to include all types of bikes, let them at it. I have a gut feeling that it wont be long untill you pull in, andhead forhome. Then will Mr King organise the runs. :X I doubt it.

Hi Ciaran,

This is getting out of hand.We all know why you started these Sunday runs.We also are all extremely grateful to you for your hard work and dedication.You can count on 100% support from us who have enjoyed ourselves so much over these last few months.

To hell with the begrudgers, because that's all it is, begrudgery...Mr King can take his soapbox (and his rulebook) elsewhere, as fast as he likes...

Any other bike rider who shares our love of Goldwings is welcome to join us,(while they are saving up...)

See you all Sunday

Well said Steve18 and you can bet your last euro that all the other people who take part in these great runs that Wexman organises think the same way. I will state again, Wexman "you make the rules and we all abide by them" and good riddance to the begrudgers.

Hi Redwing,

I think that the best way to end this storm in a teacup is to continue to support Ciaran by attending the runs, and continueing to have FUN!!!

The only rules that Iabide by are.....1.Use common sense 2. Respect fellow riders 3 Obey the rules of the road. Once we all keep our heads and enjoy the craic we can aways have fun with our bikes, wherever we ride them.End of discussion...

We had the N Ireland meeting Monday night and no-one could agree on an event for Sunday. I will Email our members and give them details of your runout and ask them to meet your run at the Lisburn roundabout. Generally if the sun is shining there should be a few turn up ok but if it is raining I wouldn't hold your breath. Hope to see you Sunday. Jim Fairclough and myself will be there and hopefully a few others.

Regards John
