I've had several messages deleted from the NOC forum for a) citicism of Stuart Garner and his motorcycle company, b) criticism of the NOC executive commitee and c) taking the piss in general.
Latest deletion was on the subject of the rumoured Norton plank. Allegedly the plank was used for propping up a machine tool to ensure it produced parts within tolerance.
My witty reply was something along the line of;
"I was told by a friend of mine, who is partially deaf, that he was told by a mate down the pub, who was drunk, that he overheard a bloke down the pub say, ' the plank was recently on ebay and has gone to a museum. Apparently you can now buy genuine norvil planks'.
Is it me or have the EC lost it's sense of humour? I personally like and get on with Tim, the chairman, but the EC as a whole seems to have lost the plot and turned into a bunch of control freaks. It's been suggested by other members that I should leave the club, what a cheerful bunch. I have no intention of doing this, as my main reason for joining is to attend the rallies. Which are attended by sound, motorcycle enthusiasts in general. We usually talk bikes and have a beer, just as motorcyclists do the world over.
P.S The Gerbing gloves are absolutely brilliant. Going to get a pair of socks asap.
