Australian Road Rider Magazine Article



We were lucky enough for Australian Road rider to publish an article about OzSTOC and our National Rally this year,
we got an 8 page spread that was a fantastic read, a big thank you goes to Diesel, Shiney, Stinkypete, Teela & Marcus for helping me put it all together!

Here I am picking up my copy from my local newsagent

Membership

At the time of writing we have 487 registered members on the website, which is a phenomenal number from where we started a couple years ago!

Posting & Conversations

If you have questions post them up so we can answer them, and if you can help someone put your hand up, this is how we go forward, helping your mate next to you!

Just a small note, remember when your replying to someone’s post that negative and less than complimentary posts are not what we are about,
also if we are trying to help someone with a problem just be mindful that the joke your posting in it does not take it off in a different direction, nothing bad, just a reminder more than anything…..

From the Team of Brock, Saaz, Streak & Diesel.

What can we say, the newsletter seems to keep getting longer, there are more people joining, the positive and really upbeat nature of the club is a credit to each and every one of you, thank you all for making the club what it is!
