I would to just depend what it was for lol. Hey speaking if which did you get a letter saying that your smart course had been cancelled?
Title: Re: Wrench day at the Aussie bike cave
Post by: codajastal on May 30, 2012, 02:01:23 AM
I didn't register for the SMART course so that would be a no.

Well wait till mister chimes in

It got cancelled?

The superbikes are supposed to be on this weekend at QR as well. Hope it is not too rainy.

You still considering that Monster Slips?

It got sold but in no hurry to upgrade. I don't think a 1000 monster would suit a 400km weekly commute though

I'll give you all the skinny on the smart course when I get home...
Title: Re: Wrench day at the Aussie bike cave
Post by: mister on May 31, 2012, 04:15:59 AM
The deal is this....

Due to the recent council elections it is Unknown whether the New council will keep the program going. As it was already started by the old council all is good up until the end of the Financial Year. The new council will be meeting to discuss many things, the Smart course being one of them, some time toward the end of June. Do they keep subsidizing it and running it - or - do they try to impress the voting public by announcing how much money they have saved by getting ride of non essential spending?

If they keep it, the course will go ahead as you have previously booked. If it is canned and you have already paid, your money will be reimbursed.

I'll be calling them at a date and time given to me to get the yey or ney on the course after June and will let you know as the case may be.

As for Saturday....

If it's raining I'll be doing a Cods and watching a movie or two at home - if it is not I may or may not be working and won't know that until tomorrow...

Post by: AussieChick on June 01, 2012, 09:42:25 PM
Totally didn't end up filming!

But I have evidence in the form of my now knobbed bike with a nice clean chain, and more far comfortable riding position from that little twist in the bars!

Thanks again guys! Should've come Mister, didn't rain THAT much!
