The pre ride sounds good John. Let me know if u would like Pauly and I to help. Cheers

Great day had last time put me down again please John and a friend

John Lay

I,ve been to many of these daylesford events now and enjoy them very much,the last time I was there I realized something I had not thought of in previous events there.
Although this event is put on as an Amtra event the property is a private property and the track setup is done in private time at a large cost in diesel ,to run the machinery to prune and plot the track,by the theisz family.
For this I would like to thank the Thiesz family very very very much , as the enjoyment of this event for myself and my boys is second to none .
Therefore I propoze a toast of a DONATION of 20 liters of Deisel next time I attend this event to show my appriciation of all the hard work involved in setting it up(ie the toilet ,the shed, the bbq,the track , the use of the property and the enjoyment)
I do hope that my fellow Amtraians appriciate this kind gesture of the use of thiesz family property as much as myself and my boys and follow suit ,just to help this event be a on going event on the Amtra calander.

Ta Seano ;)

Great Idea Sean, i'm gunna Get a Fuel Card from my local APCO Servo for $20.00 so all John Has to Do is Drive the Dozer in and put the 20 Bucks in. " Sounded like a good Idea "
 

So now that we have joined MA the TAC 85 will not be required on this ride so that is 1 less hassle that we have to deal with.
Thanks Matt for your time today.
John T

Well done to you both for putting the effort in. Still chipping away at getting Coop's on the bike for the day.
Al

Please but down my self and the family down.A big thanks to John and Matt for the ma licence look forward to chatting about that.  My boys are doing some chores around the house to raise some funds for fuel to  help out with all the track work you put in with the dozers  (thanks from me as i am milking that all for myself  ;D   ;D  ;D )

Hi John, looking forward to the day, we bought kath a klx140 hopefully she will be able to stay on this on!!.

Colin

Hi John,

Can you put me down for this one please?

I'm keen to get some practice on jumps, logs and slow speed skills. A bit of flat ground and open space will be something new for me.

Regards,
Phil E

 ::)

zeby,zeby,zeby don't be so bloody greedy

not both ,were on a budget here
 :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D :D ;D

Thanks Darren
Will be in touch when the number are totalled up

Hi John, yes food please.

yes food,,,,,,,please....want me to bring anything?

Hi John, I will be there hopefully there will be no George jetson moments!!
I'm thinking of asking my photographer brother to come along if he's available to take pics of all the riders and whatever else he thinks would make a great shot, he takes great photos, would there be much interest from people attending to buy a top quality photo of themselves or there kids riding?? Or would he be wasting his time?

Yeah, get him to come!  I need some good shots of the PE.

Are you bringing your old timers?

I sure will be bringing the old girls, I want some good photos of them, if you want to have a ride of an old husky Serge your more than welcome to try them!

I can't see a proplem with it
To get an idea of intrest I think you would have to give them an idea of price
John T

Sounds like a plan....you're on!

Look forward to it.

We will go/ no food, we vegies (low carbon footprint)

Thanks for the up date
cows eat vegies we eat cows all good
 what about the methane dose that not destroy the ozone layer?

When I used to race there was a professional Photographer at the meetings & by the end of the day he would put them up on display, if ya liked them, then you would buy the ones you liked, there was no pressure to buy.
The same thing happens at PI track days, if it is a really good shot & if it is a reasonable price it shouldn't be a problem, well that's just my opinion.

To all attending this Family ride day

It would be good if everyone who is using the track that John has maintained, to Donate some Money towards Repair and Maintenance for this great idea of Johns.

 Your Donation can be given to Mr Serge on the day, it will be then given to Johns father to replace the Diesel fuel required to run the Tip Truck and Dozer.

I don't see a problem with this idea, as the Dozer uses quite a bit of fuel per Hour, and it's coming out of Johns Fathers Pocket.

It's much easier to Donate Money, rather than bring a Jerry of Diesel.

It would be good if you donate, BUT you don't have to !!


I think $10.00 for a Single track Rider and $20.00 for
Family's, if you feel thats right for you.

Here's a price list for brothers photos, he is available and will be able to display the photos on either his iPad or laptop.
John put 3 down for lunch for me please, Sam will be coming along as well

Tell him " He's Dreamin !!"

Might bring both but definitely a no ride zone for the wife. She can help with catering?

No worries, I'll tell him not to bother

bob and johnny d wont make it to this one after all,, have a great day everyone :)

Tell him $20.00 for a good shot !!

I've got a couple of great shots taken of me at Phillip Island track day they were 300x230 I paid $25.00 each, that's about 5 years ago, I picked out 3 out of 5 taken, I would have paid $50.00, especially one of them coming around Siberia on full lean, you could see my eye balls through the helmet visor,I would have paid $100.00 for that one, no worries ;D
What I'm saying is don't be to quick in saying " you must be dreaming" if you see a photo of ya self or ya kids & it really looks great buy it, don't think about the money, in years to come you wont miss the money, but that photo will be there forever.In saying that, you shouldn't be put under any pressure in having to buy the photos taken if you don't really want them.

Hi John,

Count me in for lunch.

Thanks,
Phil

Have to agree with Frankie on this one! When you have a great photo of yourself or your kids and it's framed and on the wall, you don't even think of the initial cost, cause the memories it brings and the joy you get from looking at the photo far outweigh what you paid for it.
Pete, if you only want to spend $20 for a good shot, buy a disposable camera, give it to your mrs and if your lucky she will get a good shot, but when you want the photo enlarged and the quality is crap, you only have yourself to blame.
Some of the photos my brother has taken of me I would pay $100 for without even thinking about it.

Hi John,
   Count me in for some grub.
Thanks
Looking forward to another great day at Daylesford
Hamo

If I was coming i would have paid for photos...so Nathan i hope one day another time your brother can be available...i dont think hes dreamin as this is the price you pay these days for really good shots....and yeah Frankie...your right.

Hey Bob
Hope you have a good excuse last time you got married !
This time I am scared to ask ?

Bob, pitty Nath's brother wasn't at the last training day when you did your "Red Bull gives you wings"?
Al

Having Read that, i'm in for the $50.00 Shots.

Hey John T...nothing sinister...im not pregnant or anything like that...will be at the next one i would like to think....i had a good fall on Easter Monday and have been nursing a torn tricep and deltoid injury...so dont think i could do that awesome loop that Al takes us on...spewin.
But hope you all have a great day, Johnny is taking me on an easy beginner ride at my stomping ground at woodside.
Al...yourbdead right about the red bull gives you wings shot....would have been great.

Here's a sample of some photos my brother has taken of me.

Bob sorry you guys wont be there this weekend if all goes well maybe my brother could attend more of these days.
hope you recover from your injuries asap!!

ok so those photos are huge! i will try and resize them and repost.

Thanks Nathan....love the pics....and yes im looking after the arm so i heal quick. Thanks for the kind thoughts.

hopefully this is better

Phil R.

See you then Phil

Hi John it looks like i will have two friends comming on saturday i have asked they byo drinks and food for BBQ

John Lay

Fire!! you want a fire
I will give it some thought
We may be able to arange something.

Steve Smith from Suzuki will be coming along, as guest of the club president, possibly bringing his son.

That will be good.

No time like the present to start working on him for sponsorship of the 2013 HCR!

It felt strange packing 2 lots of riding gear etc. allowing for my daughter.

First time any of my kids have expressed an interest in coming riding!

Hi guys,

Please add Pauly and I to the BBQ list.

Mmmmmmmmmm BBQ!!

Hi Big John,

Thought we were on the BBQ list, I'll bring some snags along in case we've missed out. ;D
