I am opening a new poll that we at the pointy end of OzSTOC would really appreciate your collective opinions and feedback.
When the club as a whole was first appraised that Diesel and Streak were stepping down from the clubs leadership’s roles and a new team would be stepping into the management position I stated that I believed it was the passion of the members that gave OzSTOC its direction. The club has developed and been able to project its own momentum driven by our members in the past, and will continue into the future. Saaz, Pockey and I are merely a guiding hand to keep us from straying off our course.
As you are all aware the Honda ST1300 is no longer available to purchase new in this country, and if the ST1300 long Gevity is anywhere near the lifespan of the venerable ST1100 we will see ST's on the road and in the club for many years to come.
This poll is all about your thoughts on future proofing our club OzSTOC.
So would you like to see OzSTOC remain purposely only Honda ST motorcycle specific OR do you believe there is scope in our future to evolve into the Australian Sports Touring Owners Club (OzSTOC)?. This would also potentially give owners of other brands of "Sports Touring" motorcycles a club outlet based on the proven mantra of our club as it exists today.
As a club we already encourage other riders and pillions regardless of their motorcycle of choice to participate on our forum and attend our RTE's.....we are talking about giving these people, members a club they can call there own with the opening of the doors to ALL "Sports Touring" motorcycles regardless of manufacturer. Naturally all of the current forum format with ST specific information would continue in a similar way, we would merely a lot other manufacturers "Sports Touring" motorcycles sections within the forum and possible bring on board a forum moderator to moderate that particular brand of motorcycle section. I.e. Saaz may moderate the Triumph Trophy section etc.
Just a few of the "Sports Touring" motorcycles we may be targeting are the FJR's, GTR's, Wings, Trophy, BMW's etc......we are bring this topic up for discussion as we have lost members in the past who for various reasons moved away from the social aspect of our club as they no longer where ST riding members.
This poll is to further enhance the future directions that YOU as a member of OzSTOC would like to see your club take, we ask that you not only participate in this active poll but leave constructive feedback as you wish so we can collate this information.
I have asked our moderation team and previous leadership members to not post their collective thoughts on this important subject at this time so as to not influence the direction this subject may take and let the data collected reflect what our members believe our club direction should be.
Cheers..
Chris
