Well done,iv'e been a member of gpz900r owners club for years ,it's a world wide club and it has only around 800 members,so 500 for Just oz is impressive. Mind you if every one gets the sort of welcome i received ,i'm not surprised the numbers are growing. :-++

This just goes to show what can happen when two extraordinary people get together and turn an idea into reality.
A truly great 'well done' to both Streak (Graham) and Diesel (Dave), as well as their lieutenants Brock and Saaz (John)

Members!!

We have cracked the 500 member mark!!

from our humble beginnings a couple of years ago we have achieved many a milestone,

but to know say we have 500 members in a basically bike specific club is something special!

None of which would have been possible without any of you clicking the JOIN OzSTOC tab and becoming part of this fantastic club!

Thank You All!!

Cheers

Diesel, Brock, Streak & Saaz



It took a while for me to get my head around what diesel and graham where up to, boys playing with toys and stuff....

But seeing graham proud as, and paying compliments to everyone who has been involved in getting Ozstoc to where it is now, I am smiling to, anyone would have thought he had won lotto  :runyay

I have some great friends from here, and it makes sense of all the "babe I love you, can you quickly go and post this for me" and the late night phone calls with Diesel, Marianne and I were sure they where going to elope at one point!

Hope the next 500 is as much fun as the current 500 we have  :p

This is only Reply #28, so still lots of congratulations to come.
It's a credit to your willingness to put your own time and money into something you're fired up about that the Club has been so successful.  A tribute to persistent marketing strategies, no doubt Streak would say.   :beer

Thanks for all the well wishes and comments. Streak and I are both very proud to be associated with such a fine mob of villains like yourselves.

Our goal in the early days was to open up a friendly community, based around our STs whereby owners, riders and their families could jump online and log in to a fun, informative, friendly site, and furthermore - go ride their bikes to meet up with newly made friends over lunch - or overnight!

We couldn't have imagined how well OzSTOC has progressed to date. A big thanks has to go to our Mods and henchmen - Brock and Saaz, as without their help, our jobs would entail many more hours each day. Well done men.     :clap       :rockon

More thanks goes to our favourite passengers too, as you are the driving force in our lives and make our ST riding experience all the better.

Streak and I often envisaged the day we might get 500 registered members, and talked about how we can keep the forum and community exciting. Whilst we may be on the 'spanners', this site is almost on cruise control now because of the quality of all whom are patrons of OzSTOC.com - YOU!     :thumb

You people make our job waaay easier in your friendly and jovial nature, combined with the depth of knowledge and experience that each of you bring on different subjects. We are truly a sum of our parts. Your posting of pics, stories, invitations to RTEs all make this a great little family to be part of - be proud of this.      :thumbs

We will keep trying to innovate, patriate, satiate, congratulate, obligate, delegate and celebrate in all the right proportions that have been part of the successful recipe for us so far.

Thanks again people and we hope to see you all out there at OzSTOC events sooner or later.      :clap

Cheers,
The OzSTOC Team

OK, cough up that Thesaurus, Dave!  You'll feel better afterwards.

Don't sit back too far.  We still need you two head villains to keep producing inspired ideas.  We're all happy followers, glad to make up the numbers and keen to help where possible.

Well done to all, but it begs to ask the question... How many of these joined by the following four catagories.

1 - Cards left by ST riders.

2 - Word of Mouth

3 - Media - (online or magazine )

4 - Goldwing owners -  :rockon.

I also ask the question, I found Ozstoc through Google, am also pretty sure of the 30 odd cards I have left, nil have joined, the only new member was actually handed a card and told he needed it.

Lets face it, if you find a paper on your windscreen, 99% of the time you will chuck it without looking at it.

If I find an ST I look for the rider rather than leave a card.
