BREAKING NEWS!! Diesel & Streak Retiring!

BREAKING NEWS!!

Diesel & Streak Are Retiring!

Well after 3 years, 3 National Rally's, 2 OzSTOC Weddings, and 680 odd members, Diesel & Streak have decided to retire from the leadership of OzSTOC!



It has been a privilege and an honour to serve and help build this wonderful club to the position it is in now.

We got into this with the idea to find some people to ride our bikes with, and see some parts of of Australia while we where at it.....we step back with lots of people to ride bikes with, and lots of Australia explored while we where at it.

But we are not going anywhere, we will still be here, but we will be just regular members, letting the new leadership of the club make their own mark, and we will be just enjoying the RTE's and the people.

The new leadership as announced at the National Rally dinner is as below:

Saaz, Pocket Stocker, & ST2UP



We put months of work into our decision to step down, and choose our replacements, they have our full confidence and support to keep OzSTOC heading in right direction.

Official handover is not until the 1st of June 2014, as there is lots of work to do to make sure everything is done in a smooth simple transition.

Diesel will add his own ten cents here, but, from myself thanks goes to my wife Teela, who was patient and understanding to all the time she gave up as I was on club duty, Second goes to Diesel, I never thought the tall joking nutter would become a groomsman at my wedding and my best mate, also thanks to everyone who took my phone calls, emails, PM's, Facebook messages, smoke signals helping me get stuff done, special mention goes to Saaz, Abe, Sabie, Scarp, Marcus, Brock, Whizz, Leo, Biggles, Tipsy and heck everyone who has given me advice and let me bounce ideas off them.

Thank you OzSTOC

Cheers

Streak.

Sad time, no doubt, but I'm sure things will still stay the same.

After all. It's the members who make this forum great. The admin staff just keep it on the internets for us.

And since they are sticking around, as regular members, it just means someone else is doing all the behind the scenes stuff we don't know about and don't want to know about, Saaz, Pocket Stocker, & ST2UP, will run this ship in the right direction that I'm sure of

Congrats Streak and Diesel

A superb way of staying with the club yet not being eternally responsible for everything that will be happening. A couple of stars who gave the vast majority of their waking hours to keeping everybody else happy. My thanks and hopes that you continue to enjoy yourselves in the future as much as you did in the past. Cheers guys!!

Many thanks to Diesel and Streak for all they've done to get this group to where they are now. You can go into retirement with your heads held up high. Well done fellows.  :beer :hatwave

Congratulations to Saaz, Pockey and Chris for picking up the reins. I'm full of confidence that you will pick up where Diesel and Streak have left off. As a group, we are extremely lucky to move from one group of excellent leaders on to another. I can only see good things happening for OzSTOC in the years ahead.   :thumbs ++ :runyay

The vision Streak and Diesel brought to the Club has been fantastic.  Never satisfied with a basic Forum, they have driven it forward to a fully fledged organisation with annual National Runs, local rides and plenty of quality paraphernalia.  Streak's promotional skills and Diesel's drive were the forces that have brought us thus far.  Now to see ST2UP and Pockey apply their dedication and skills and saaz his passion for riding and the Club will forge ahead.  Dedication, inspiration and delegation will be the skills that well carry us forward with you, just as they have to now.
Heartfelt thanks to all of you for your willingness and imagination.
For the modern man who lives in the city, riding a bike might be one of the only ways to escape the humdrum monotony. To take off and ride. To be both at one with nature and one with the bike. To feel masculine. Adam Piggott

Great stuff guys, have loved your work since joining this auspicious group of hooligans. Shows how healthy this group is when two young blokes, like yourselves, step aside in the interests of succession planning. Just need to figure out why it now goes to old people. Except for you Young Pockey.  :p
