unaugural pics and a question

couldn't resist having a look and trying to put names to faces.... not a
hope! Hoope nobody minds that I had a stickybeak...

Looks like you folks had a brilliant time. Can I ask, do you all know each
other from Real Life way back, or did you all meet via this group? You all
looked so comfortable with each other as if you'd known one another for
ages - is that the case?

Just wondering...

We all came to meet at AA or drug rehab.

I only know one person in the group that I first met in the real world.

It's that sort of group.

I think I have met most of the regular posters in person.

Events like the Unaugural, the Wintersun Rally (and this year the Alpine
rally[1]) as well as the Superbike races and MotoGP races generally see
a fair gathering of aus.motoans. A common interest that tends to get us
travelling makes for lots of opportunities to meet.

[1] The Alpine is not *that* far from your place, although if the
weather is a bit off a muddy, slippery access road might be a bit of a
challenge.

I never knew any of those people in RL. I've met a few at annual
dinners, Phillip Island. BTH lived at my house for a few days, and I
had dinner with three others in Perth.

Same here, I know one person from "real life" from this group(they say he's
not as funny in real life) and around three others that are not regular
posters these days. I've met many Aus.motoians since(wintersun, netrides,
unaugurals). The Alpine is at the piss easy site this year Moike, bitumen
all the way to the site, no challenge except for the cold. I want to see
Clem in the hawaian shirt and shorts there.

Pretty social for a web group.

Probably time to mention those underpants again...

Hello Goose.

 

I rode almost 2000km to Phillip Island and saw Theo who had ridden 4000km
as he went into the camp-ground but I didn't say hello.
I didn't want to bug him.

 

He's larger than life and twice as ugly!

I have to ask here !!
Do we mean "Inaugural" here? (As in the first occurance, or the start of
something).
Not trying to be the language Nazi but I like to think we should try to keep
the meaning of words to that of their usual usage.
Anyway thats my flame for Betty in her joining the group

 

Betty will have to report to the principal's office for six of the
best. She should have known from it's contextual that "Unaugural" was a
proper noun requiring capitalisation.

The more times you wander along to the various ausmoto gatherings - GP,
Superbikes, Unargural, Wintersun Rally (which will have some ausmoto
people there this year despite the splitters at the Alpine ;-) the more
people you will get to know.

Some people I see a couple of times a year on a regular basis and have
done for the last decade or so. Others I've met only briefly (Theo at a
dinner for example), some I haven't met yet.

It doesn't much matter, in my experience this group of people are much
more laid back in real life than they are online

So yeah, wander along to Wintersun or the Alpine or something else and
say hi

You couldn't possibly bug him as much as those bloody emu's!

No, we mean unaugrual as in "not inaugrual"... BTH decided to name his
first rally the inaugrual ausmoto rally, since he didn't know about the
2000 or 2001 one held at Tintaldra... Ever since then all of BTH's
rallys have been "The $Nth Unaugrual AusMoto Rally"...

If you weren't so forgetful that shot of the Pinnacle's would have been much
nicer!
