Yes Biggles and a time stamp on my fuel receipt. I've given it a lot of thought and with everything going on in my life at the moment I don't want the hassle, the distraction from my treatment, and my mind on anything but getting better.

What happened, happened and he'd only get a slap on the wrist.

He's a mindless bully and will get his just deserts.
As for "who you're dealing with", he's probably the leader of his street's drug enforcement gang, hence big time in his micro world.
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

Sorry to read about your little incident Michael I hope the gutless prick gets some bad karma.
Any way I had a damn good time on the weekend as well. getting race down hill and around corners trying to keep up with motorcycle officer,
made it a hell of a good time.etc.
with very good company of friends it really did top it off.
Thanks guys and Adrian let me know about the next one as if I am available I will be in it.

I am lost and haves gone to find myself
Now If I get back before I return

I am glad that you are all right Sabie, just a little shaken but no injuries, and you are here to talk about it  :thumb
Like you say the police would not do anything about it unless you were injured  :cuss

Thanks Tipsy and Leo

Tipsy, I'm not letting that jerk spoil what was a fantastic weekend, I'm up for another one, if there's not one on soon we should just make something up and go for a ride anyway.

What a horrible end a great weekend Sabie. I'm glad to see that you're not letting it get to you and that you are okay.
I'm sure that a guy with an attitude like that idiot has will get his comeuppance soon.

Glad you are OK Sabie.

I think with it being in a Public place you might only need to make a statement and let the video footage do the rest.
One day he'll do it to someone he doesn't know can fight back bigger and better.
Cheers,
Gary

This turned up on Sunday, I never felt him touch my face but as he grabbed me by my jacket lifting me up to throw me he must have hit my lip.



I know it doesn't look much, but it runs down the inside of my lip too. While I'm on Chemo it's going to take a long time to heal.

Mike,
I'm so sorry to hear all of that I must have been 10 minutes behind you and it was was all done and dusted by then, not hint that anything had occurred.  :well
As Tipsy said, he'll get his in the end... what a pr*ck!

And as to the rest of the weekend, couldn't have been better, great company, food, accommodation and riding. It would also appear that the cockups continued on the Sunday.
If only the rest of the guys and gals knew what they missed out on...  WOW:

Next meet is the weekend of the 20th at Kingaroy.  As soon as I have all the details, I'll post it up.

Cheers,
A.

Hazard lights are definitely the go when when leading the pack out, or even better the orange (well red n blue better again) strobes

The Boys with the Red and Blue were there and did a great job, my hazard lights were on just a moment in time had them off with how the camera must have caught that moment Brock.

Totgas' white 1100 is festooned with lots of flouro yellow stickers and a tail /brake and indicators up a pole.
It was even mistaken as a police bike by the Police.

Everyone seems a bit critical of how your bike should be set up, red and blue lights, yellow lights, when they should,be on when they should be off, what markings should be on your bike and so forth.

Each state has different laws in this regard and that's what we need to abide by, not people's opinion.

To be a Moto Marshal for the cycling races you need to volunteer your time, your bike needs to be roadworthy, you don't need any extra markings or flashing lights, however f you choose to do that who cares so long as it abides by the traffic law of the state your operating in.

Come along and give It a try, it's a lot of fun, your contributing to the community which a lot of money is being spent.

Don't be critical of those who are giving it a go, what lights they run what livery is on their bike it's not important, just get behind them as money raise goes back to our club.

Nobody was being critical that I noticed Sabie, just offering helpful suggestions/ideas. Trying to do escort/marshalling work with out hazard lights of some description could get dangerous.

P.S.  I do Bike event marshalling here in the West, and have just installed front and rear strobes, soon I will get to use them, only 3 weeks to go.

No one in particular Brock, just getting tired of putting up ideas, experiences up etc and someone comes and jumps all over them with the way they do it is bigger or better. There's a lot of mutual respect disappearing from the forum. An example was a member asking what kind of part people use in a particular area, I put up mine and was immediately jumped on by the next post stating they were rubbish etc instead of just saying what they use. I saw a little of that in this thread and that's why I made the statement I did.

You don't have to jump on people and say what they are doing is crap, make your statement and move on. Mutual Respect, what I'm using and what I'm doing works for me etc.
