To all the many friends I have made through this wonderful Club, I say a heartfelt thank you. Or rather, thanks for being you.
You have made it easy to go out of my way to organise RTEs and other get togethers because of the quality of people OzSTOC proudly calls Members. Time and time again you've showed your willingness to help others at the drop of a hat, offer your own time to help find parts of crucial pieces of info for someone else, added quality posts and threads for the benefit of others, and above all else - been a great bloke (or sheila) too.
No-one could have foreseen the success that would have come from the very first RTE. It has surpassed even the wildest expectations. Any 'hard work' has most certainly been worth it when you see friendly faces from all around the country whom share the same passion as everyone else, join up to ride together to lunch or on holidays. It is mind blowing to see us all in our OzSTOC gear 'living the dream' somewhere with mates.
OzSTOC is in the top ten biggest Forums in this country for a single make motorcycling website. We are certainly the envy of many others with our electric and 'always interesting' atmosphere, and our '# online today' figures are only dreamt of by most. Not to even mention all the OzSTOC range of products designed mostly by you.
We have also formed many fantastic relationships with reliable and friendly businesses in our respective communities whom have shown willingness and insight to form commerce alliances with our Club and Members.
The ride has been a superb one, and the new leaders are inviting Streak and I to remain close at hand for now, and I have every confidence in their abilities and vision to propel OzSTOC into the next successful era under their care.
Thanks to all for your kind comments and warm sentiment. It has been a pleasure beyond imagination thus far.
Now, to sit back and enjoy the spoils of your friendship and comradery and look forward to the next gathering of mates.
Thanks again.
Cheers, Diesel
