The purpose of the thread is to tell you that a ride out has been organised and photos will be up after the fact that you arent on it is that you didnt contact me to come you have all been invited many times but as yet most seem to be keyboard riders,dont try to turn this into something personal .....its not

If you look back at some of my postings i ALWAYS offer newbies a ride out ,just took Nottm Forest other week and offered Rit when he gets a bike (now got one)also a lad from Newcastle was due to ride this weekend but blew his bike up so the offers are on there ,you only need to post up or reply to mine as its always an open invite for first 6/8 riders

Garyd has frequently posted that he rides out with mates every weekend and has posted his mobile number so that folk can join in and he has explained where he is based and where he rides. If it's not local to you or you don't wish to travel to it fine, but no need to just discount or dismiss his threads with posts like these - just ignore them if they don't affect you.

What he doesn't do is post a thread with a date and a formal invite in the same way as in the SE section. It doesn't mean that you aren't invited and he doesn't 'beg' for folk to join him, it's up to us to chose as he's going out anyway.

He has also always said he is trail rider and not an enduro rider and rides a legal bike on legal lanes hence the occasional joshing about having a small bike versus and more race tuned enduro bike. That's clearly his sense of humour which is not offensive and if you don't happen to get it, it hardly hurts - there is frequent name calling in the name of humour by others that is all supposed to be acceptable.

If you can't remember or be bothered to keep up with what's going on in this section fair enough, but don't post negative rubbish putting others down.

The guy's excited about his rideout just the same as any of the rest of are when we organise rideouts - back off and take a long hard look at what you post and how it might look to others before you type.

Er what ... I haven't posted 'negative rubbish' I was asking for clarification as it was not an invite or a ride report ... it was just a statement ...

I enjoy reading ride reports, I like to be invited to things, this read to me as neither, so wasn't really sure what it was ...


Let me clarify what I mean

This is a statement:-

"Got a nice 8 to take out on Sunday all sorts from newbies on KTM 450 to heros on ..........KTM450 and all manner of stuff in between ,the photos wont lie"

This is a ride report:-

"Had a nice 8 to take out on Sunday all sorts from newbies on KTM 450 to heros on ..........KTM450 and all manner of stuff in between ,the photos dont lie" {then consequent photo posting}

This is a question/Invite:-

"Got a nice 8 to take out on Sunday all sorts from newbies on KTM 450 to heros on ..........KTM450 and all manner of stuff in between - if anyone is interested in joining us, then it is up in XYZ, give me a shout. We will be taking lots of photos to post up after!"

The second two have a purpose, the first, well what is it 'saying'???

If garyd actually meant it as some off form of open invite, then he could clarify it at that point - which in a very odd way is exactly what he did!!

I don't really see the point in posting saying that something is happening if it's not an invite. "the fact that you arent on it is that you didnt contact me to come " is completely valid, but I must have missed the thread where you invited people on this ride out. You've invited people on previous ride outs but I don't get how people are meant to know when and where you're organizing rides if you don't say.

But, it doesn't really matter, even if anyone does go I doubt they'd have been able to keep up with gary on his cfr230.

Should be good though just because of the amount it's been raining this week.

You guys need to seriously relax.

I ride with young Garyd most weekends - hes a top bloke who has invested an awful amount of time into working out some very good local routes (all legal).
New riders are always welcome regardless of ability.

So just to remove any doubt

We ride most sundays start around 9.30 (grantham / melton area)

Would all forum members please accept this as a formal invitation to join us. Please use the forum or pm myself or Garyd for more details

I trust this removes any confusion and may encourage those of you who are new to greenlaning to try some new and interesting routes.
