sydney city ride, wednesday 18th feb

[Dicky]

*St Mary's Cathedral (cnr Park / College st) at 7pm. BE THERE!!!

sydney ferries are being really boring at the moment, as such there is no 6:30pm ferry until further notice.

those of us on the 7pm manly ferry will meet the rest of you guys at "lady macquarie's chair-case".

now go out and practice those wheelies, i want to see as many people sitting up on the back wheel as possible :P

edit: Try a location for the non-regulars next time ya knobsack Dicky :idea:

[naz]

u bastard i wanted to start the thread :P

[Rik]

Hrm... TAFE...
I'll cruise on the singlespeed to say my G'days if I feel up to the task. Otherwise, drop in to Ultimo TAFE and I'll use your frame to practise my welding on.

[RCOH]

i will be there

[Jesus]

Hi

I'm a farkin newbie.

Where and when do we meet if we don't get the manly ferry?

[Squidly Didly]

Yeah, location for the newbie's ya tool Dicky!

[crash&burn]

Hi

Another couple of newbie questions. What time does the ride usually finish and what is the age of the guys who usually ride :?:

[naz]

ok we want nothing under 65 this is strictly a retired peoples ride, we ride around terrorising sydney in motorised carts,
:P
ok if u have a bike, know how to get to st marys, then u qualify, u leave after u have been ridiculed enough i mean tired :P

[crash&burn]

Pofessional smartarse underates you :)

[naz]

ye dont listen to naz hes a idiot

[Tomas]

lol. well i get my new sasquatch today so ill try and make it

[wombat]

Well fellas, help a brother out, where can I park in (well near) the city? I want to come in again but I'm not messing around with the damn trains in their current state.

[LEX]

hey all there are no trains running in case any of u wated to get there by train

[Weasel]

There is a ride for the oldies?

Im in on that im sick of loosing my damm teeth...

[Drop in Drew]

if ur really unlucky i may still come even though i've cracked my frame.. its time for the roadie to show its head.

i used it everyday like whore (riding down to melbourne) then i threw it aside when i was finish.. all loose and sloppy.
such is the life of a farkin road bike

[parallax]

park in the 'Domain' carpark and then ride up the huge travelator which will bring you up just behind St Mary's Cathedral. From there it's like 50m downhill to the courtyard.

[WooKie]

i'll be there all patched up :roll:

[Carlin]

Yor referring to your front tyre, or did you have an off?

Oh yeah I'll be there on the Scab, I have some "plans" for it.

[Dicky]

hmmm Carlin's inventing things again... this'll be good

[wombat]

What's the cost like though parking at the domain?

[parallax]

I really have no idea. Alternatively, you can park in the many spaces available out the front of the Art gallery. But you miss out on riding on that HUGE travelator.

[Dicky]

oh the irony of it all... i can't make it, i think i'll go and jump off a cliff instead...

abseiling Oxford Falls on wednesday night with my rover crew, so it looks like i'm out for this week. sorry lads...

someone take a photo of Carlin's bike, i wanna looky :)

[Squidly Didly]

You bunch of softcocks. I'm on the htail this week w00t!

[ona rampage]

You can usually find street parking on the road just out front of the cathederal/where they meet....$4.50 to park there, take coins for the meter....

[RCOH]

park behind Cook-Phillip park, the kings Cross side where all the drunks & bums hang out. It is metered parking but the Parking fuckers never come down there, i have parked there for the last 5 rides never got a ticket.

Domain carpark is 10-12 dollars.

I just put new forx & handlebars on my 125, so i think i will ride that this week

[Carlin]

Nice stuff, everyone is bringing out the hardtails this week 8)

[wombat]

Well I'll see what's happening with work, and maybe I'll be able to trek in; (damn distance is a bitch!).

[Tomas]

Ill try, its hard for me tho...

[nitwit]

Might be there, probably on my ruckus hardtail just put dj3 on it. :)

[naz]

[nitwit]

[naz]

oh the 243 has a new secret weapons, its gonna blow u guys outta the water :P

[Squidly Didly]

28 degrees tomorrow + train issues + ferry issues... i'm gonna be late!!!
God bless the public transport system ffs :roll:
Well i'll see you all 7:45ish at Mrs Macs :wink:

[wombat]

Grrr, damn squid. I'm making the trip in though so I should be there (provided I don't get lost); if anybody bails (or rides big black expensive duallies instead of hardtails) I'm gonna be mighty pissed!

[RCOH]

i finish work about 5, so i am going to head in early, as i can't be bothered going home then coming back. So if anyone wants go on a pre ride ride i will be there @ 5:45pm, will wait till about 6 then leave & be back for usual time.

[naz]

ok so interesting evening, i dont think we should go bac to sydney uni for a while RCOH :P
good ride

[jasco]

What did RCOH/you guys get up to in Sydney Uni??

I couldn't make it cause I'm sick, but who gets a cold in summer?

[wombat]

I missed the Echo! Not happy! We just had some issues with security...

[jasco]

Don'r worry Wombat it'll be back out next week.

Pity my mate on his Pitbull won't be, he almost snapped the ligament that holds the outside of your ankle together.

[naz]

achillis tendon fuk who was that, VERY VERY VERY painful

[RCOH]

That security guard was the worst one i have ever had the displeasure of meeting, & i have met a few

To cut a long story short, we were riding at sydney uni, security came, got chased & i got caught. Now, instead of saying "get the fuck out of here" like any NORMAL person, this ex-high school bully said he had at least 2 witnesses who saw me deliberatly riding over & breaking sprinkler systems & telling staff members to "fuck off", both of which are untrue.

So he called newtown police & tried to get me arrest & charged with "malicious damage to property". The Police came& were pretty cool, they wanted to let me go with a warning, but the security guard kept pressing on them that i was a "grown man riding a BMX bike on illegal property & deliberatly breaking property". So the cops kind of charged me with tresspass, & i have to go to court in early march, but it is almost definitely to be dismissed & i won't get (another) mark on my record. Also I am banned from Sydney Uni for 2 years.

Quite a night!!!

Thanks to everyone who hung around & stuck it to the security, it was very appreciated.
Wombat, I tried to call you but i ran out of credit on my phone

[wombat]

Wombat, I tried to call you but i ran out of credit on my phone

Tis cool, I don't think I would have had much luck with that bloke anyway, despite the fact that the other guys there in uniform seemed ok (I got the impression they thought the meathead was just that...).

So, how about cutting syd U out of the loop for a bit then eh? Say, maybe 2 years.... :P

[RCOH]

yeah, that place was played anyway.... :wink:

The security guy (primo fuckwit #1) was a over zealous, power crazed megalomaniac. Everyone else was relatively cool ie not going off their heads & acting like i just shot a kennedy.
You should have seen how hard he tried to get the police to a) take me to newtown copshop, & B)get me charged with malicious damage.

Anyway thanks for all your help, you calm rational demeanour helped quite a bit :)

Ahh so your the dude Lamond was talking about today!!! Hope the case gets dismissed mate :wink:

[Rik]

I guess I'm lucky I didn't turn up the other night, I was in a very foul mood, and would've caused trouble... but it appears there were some fuckwits to do that for you. Ugh... die... scum...

[Emerin]

Shit RCOH... that's not cool at all. But the only thing that remains obvious here is that you've taken a fall for one of the jerks that do ride around the area like idiots and give the mtb'ers bad names. I hope everything goes ok with u... they hopefully will just throw it out.

[Weasel]

I say lets get all the farkin syd crew riders in the crowd at the hearing...

Fuckin rent a cops... now they will try to fit you up to get a thrill.

[scottair]

oh yes lucky i was not there i would have gone rank at those farkers
anyway man youll get of scott fre it happened to me whe i was riding at my school in hornsby man i built a drop of a roof and broke some tiles.i got off wid nuthing and i can go to school

[RCOH]

Thanks for all the kind words everyone,

I am sure everything will be just fine

Have a good weekend, & if anyone is going to dargle i will see you there
