All of you are going and everyone needs to just keep their winter blues/emotional breakdowns and whining in check. I'm the ONLY one allowed to just lose it around here and it's in the rules, very fine print, hot pink...don't even bother looking...
Look, it was unavoidable...the Bash is getting big...we have a lot of members that come a long way and plan for a year just to go. The days of it being just a few around a camp fire are past us now, and the best thing we can ALL do is respect one another and realize that we will not please everyone all of the time. I agree, as most do here, that some things got out of hand last year...I don't believe having Rock Band was bad, and I'm not just saying that because of my awesome singing abilities. I was thrilled for Anastasia that there was something to do besides TP bikes (WHEW!)...as racerV said, it's a family event more and more each time, so I thought it was pretty damn cool to have that on hand and I kept thinking if my boys were there, they'd be all over it too...perhaps we turn it down some, and limit the late night singing, but the idea behind "activities" isn't a bad one if you consider all the individuals involved in the bashes now.
Above all, we need to respect the noise levels once it's late and I don't think any of us want to upset Ms. Reba. If this Bash reverts back to something small and insignificant, then that means a lot of oRg members, members we all interact with every day, opted to not join. I think I'd have a lot fewer friends if that were to happen. I cherish my time with the gang, love the riding, love the food, the effort put out by some to keep us all happy, being with such a great gang sharing great times, *cough* the hooch *cough*...
Suzuki wouldn't have cared to show up to a tiny event, so with our growing numbers come growing pains...
Let's just all work to keep it a good thing...we need to address some issues for safety's sake and to show respect for all, but it's inevitable that it will continue to grow. I appreciate everyone here and all the effort that goes in to every aspect of our meeting up, from the rides to the food, from the help working on bikes to the laughs...it's worth keeping and making it fun for all, so we ALL have to work to do that...
Don't make me start breaking knee caps...I'm off my meds and in a pissy mood this week...next week isn't looking too spectacular either
after all thats half the fun. Randy said you can ride pillion
