Musicswapshoppe started the Ossie Riders only thread back in 2009 with the intention of getting Aussie riders connected so that they could organise rides and swap notes on local issues. I'm pretty sure it was not his intention then, to create an exclusive group. It is not the case today.
I have dropped out of the NBR scene for a while to concentrate on my battle with cancer. I would look in every now and again between chemotherapy treatments to see what's been going on. Some of the older NBR members will remember my posts and I had the pleasure of meeting up and staying with three US members when I visited Canada & America back in 2010. The friendliness and warmth shown by you guys towards me and my wife was fantastic. We remain good mates and converse regularly. When my cancer progressed to the point where I had the give motorcycling away, the sincere thoughts and best wishes expressed by some NBR members from all over was deeply appreciated.
Unfortunately, there seems to me to be an unpleasantness creeping into posts on this forum over recent times which I find distressing. Some of that unpleasantness has been directed towards the Aussie members, some of it has its origins in social and cultural prejudices.
I'll say no more other than to say farewell to you all. I have a far, far greater battle to fight with my cancer which is now regarded as terminal. Arrivederci!

Keep up the good fight bro ..
As for social and cultural prejudices against Aussie members? Really? I dont see that. No one here is being judgemental against them because they're from Australia or Australian born. If anything, that thread has allowed them to socialize with some exclusivity .. and it's coming across to the rest of the members here as rudeness.

I don't think anyone here thinks the Aussie thread was rude. I think you dudes missed the point of this thread. It was a sarcastic little post poking fun at the "Aussi Riders Only" thread.
I think the tone was overlooked. LoVel was just saying "Fine. let's see how you like it!" in a totally tongue-in-cheek kind of way. Like good-natured ribbing over a pint of Fosters. : )
