Calling all Mature Motorcyclists
Maryanne & Paul
Hi fellow motorcyclists,
If you are 40 years old or over, you are eligible to join the NZ Ulysses
Motorcycle Club. As the NZ in the name implies, this is a nation wide
club for motorcyclists.
The type of machine that you ride is immaterial, club members own
everything from Vespas through to Harleys * Hondas. The sole aim of the
club is to enjoy the riding and companionship of other riders.
For further contact information, check out our homepage at
http://homepage.ihug.co.nz/~paulr/ulysses.html

Is it going to be as good as the Australian Ulysses Club?

Speak for yourself. If you're not a motorcyclist, then you've no reason to
criticise inter-motorcyclist communication.

And if you want to call what happens around here "communication,"
then I suspect you are misinformed.
Granted, there is a small minority here who post a lot of moto-related
information, but mostly folks just sort of hang out around here.
The maturity level tends to get a bit thin at times. Nobody really
complains about it - but don't kid yourself. I *wish* the technical
content were better - actually the HD ng does seem to be much better
lately.
People actually talking about riding and wrenching. No "me too" posts,
or countersteer threads, or "can you do that to a sheep while you ride?"
To those of you who truly contribute - my apologies. To the rest
(as Jean Shepard would say) - the back of my hand.

Now that's an attitude I can agree with. There's adults, and
there's grownups. They're not the same thing! I try to explain
this to my daughter while I hold two coke cans up to my
eyes like binoculars - but somehow she fails to see the humor
in it all.

Jim,
It seems to me that you are applying *your* preferences to
the group as what is "right". The people you are defining as
"contributing" don't contribute anything to me. And the people
you define as wasting time are who I'm here for.I personally
find the technical posts to be dry, boring, and irrelevant. Not
to mention repetitive. How many times can you read/answer "what
kind of tires/bike/gear should I buy, how do I fix my valves/
electrics/spun rod bearing", before *you* max out. If I
have a tech question, I can usually answer it myself, or know
someone who can.
I not saying that they shouldn't be here, just that they aren't
what *I'm* looking for here. I come here to relieve stress, hang
out with other people who share my outlook on life, and get to know
some people who *aren't* like me. Not unlike what I'm looking for
when I'm riding.
You might have heard that I run with a dangerous crowd. We ain't
too pretty, we ain't too proud. We might be laughing a bit too
loud, but that never hurt no one.
I'll offer a deal. I won't call you wrong, if you don't call
me wrong.
BTW, this thread is cross-posted to nz.general, and reeky.moto.
I'm reading reeky, where are you?

No so, otherwise there would be no retirement communities or the AARP, a
national organization restricted to those in their golden years. Lots
of business offer discounts to seniors etc., etc.

I guess insurance companies are above this one? And the

specific age. What about movie theatres? Wow...lots
of lawbreakers around here. Isn't there an age requirment to
be president, or run for congress? That's the biggest good-ole-boy
club of all.

I missed the beginning of this thread, but I can imagine what was said. I
think most readers welcome good humor and witty comment, but often I will read
postings with subject headings of interest, only to find private conversations
that have carried on long after the original posting was addressed (if it ever
was). I rarely find these conversations amusing. Perhaps those who want to
carry on such banter would have the courtesy to modify the subject of the
thread so that others could simply avoid them.

Agreed, and I generally try to do that. It's sometimes hard to
come up with a good new subject line though, and really
easy to lose track of where you started. Also, if your
reading the header anyway, it shouldn't take too long to figure
out who's likely to be "serious", and who's just chatting/
bantering/outrageously insulting each other.

I guess there's justice in the world. My parents are mortified
to have me as their son.

I get it from my 14 year old daughter, who used to think it was cool for
her Dad to show up for school functions on his Yamaha, but not now. My 8
year old son still thinks its OK, but who knows how long that will last.
Couse, I also have several snowmobiles, a 3-wheeler, and a 4wd Toyota, so
the kids are used to Dad having his 'toys' to play with...
BTW, last week's paper had a 350-4 Honda for sale needing "minor work"
for $100.00. If anyone is interested, I'll try to find the phone number.

I'm sure you're aware that there is no minimum age necessary to become
a member of the AARP, aren't you?
The senior discounts get around age discrimination laws because
they're discounts; they're not different prices. While I don't agree
with it, it is legal.

(the below applies to the US only. I don't know how discrimination laws
work in the sane world out there.)
No, they get around it because it only illegal to discriminate against
the "identified group", in this case, the aged. It's perfectly legal to
discriminate against youth unless there is specific legislation
prohibiting it. Don't hold your breath.
If you really want to see who is running the US, take a stroll to the
nearest polling place next election day. Most look like a Golden Agers
meeting.
And if you don't know where the polling place is, you have no reason to
complain! :)

Okay, so who is a guy who rides a '74 Honda CB-750, an '81
Suzuki GS-450E, a '66 Suzuki K-15, an '82 Yamaha QT-50 scooter,
a crappy old Murray racing bike, and a shiny, new, red Fuji

individual is visiting his parochial perversions on us! Riding and
"wrenching" (that's one way of putting it) - with a sheep as well! And
he uses the back of his hand?? You can't wrench _anything_ with the back
of your hand, even if you're double jointed. This is obviously just
bait.

I lived in an apartment complex that sectioned off an area for seniors,
no kids were allowed to live there, so there is legal age

I missed the beginning of this thread, but I can imagine what was said. I
think most readers welcome good humor and witty comment, but often I will read
postings with subject headings of interest, only to find private conversations
that have carried on long after the original posting was addressed (if it ever
was). I rarely find these conversations amusing. Perhaps those who want to
carry on such banter would have the courtesy to modify the subject of the
thread so that others could simply avoid them.

Only two things wrong with that:
1) I _have_ no peers, and damn few equals.
2) If I had any, your sentence would merely cause them
