Just thought I’d post this to see if anyone’s interested. It’s a one owner 2003 1200s Suzuki Bandit with 17,000k. Regularly serviced, reg’d ’til the end of May in QLD but it’s located in Sydney. New front and rear tyres. I’m looking for $6,950 for it, I can’t ride it anymore as driving trucks for years has done my back in and a sports bike is not the best thing for a bad back - so the bike sits there under cover as I ride my other bike.
I may consider trading a BMW R100 or similar to $3,000 plus cash.
Blessings

If an “outlaw bikie” comes to me and asks me about Jesus then I shall tell him. If I talk to him on more than six occasions then I can expect to be gaoled and if that’s the case, then so be it.
No government shall stop me if I choose to share the word of the Lord with whom ever I choose, whether they be Joe Average or a 1%’er. Mr & Mr’s Joe Average biker don’t go to the gaol’s, Mr & Mr’s Joe Average don’t attend 1%’er meetings or offer up their services when a 1%’er is injured or killed on the roads, roads that the governments are supposed to be maintaining - what a farce that is.
If the general populace took the time to talk to 1%’er’s they’d see that not all are the “crazed drug dealing killers” as the media is apt to portray them. Yes there is a minor criminal element but in saying that, there is a minor criminal element in football supporters, car enthusiast’s, in fact pretty much any organisation that gathers for a common interest.
As I’ve already stated, I shall not stop talking to 1%’er’s just because the government tell’s me to - I have chosen to spread the word of our Lord in the way “I” feel comfortable, as a leather-clad, patch wearing biker.
The chapter rules and regulations have been updated, all secretaries should now have a hard copy - if you haven’t got yours you can get the printable version from the downloads section.
As of 20th April 2008 we have instructed all members to remove the 1God diamond, replacing it with 1God in a rectangular block the same size as the CMC block.
Why did we opt for the change? In short, the diamond shape has been associated with 1%’ers for many years and although we haven’t been approached by any 1%er club’s to remove it, the overall design issue was raised at our last committee meeting and it was decided the change was needed. Essentially this act is a mark of respect for the 1%er clubs and what they stand for - using the 1God diamond was never in any way a mark of disrespect, it was more a styling decision at the time.
We know many “Outlaw Motorcyle Club” members, and if you know anything about us as a club and individuals you will know that a number of our members are ex 1%er’s themselves.
The updated 1God piece is available for download by members from the link you have. The website will updated over the next few days to reflect the new patch.
Due to masses of red tape and government bumbling, the Run For The Resurrection has been postponed until 2009. When it does happen, it is going to be bigger better and further so watch this space.
We are pleased to announce that there is now a chapter in the UK - Wales to be exact, if you’d like to contact Compadres Gareth or Taff as he’s known, drop him an email via the contact form.
We’ve had numerous applications to form chapters from all over the world but it appears most if not all are time wasters. We spent a good few weeks with a club/group of friends from Arkansas (you know who you are) that ended up being nothing more than a complete waste of time.
The club rules and regulations have been implemented and will NOT be changed to accomodate anyone. You are either a Christian or you’re not so unless you’re serious don’t bother applying.
Listed on a web site is a person trying to pass themselves off as a member of the Compadres CMC, if you are approached by someone making such a claim without proof please contact us with when and where.
The web site they are listing themselves on have been contacted and replied essentially with a ‘tough’ comment. They’ve picked on the wrong people. . .
I’ll keep you all informed as to the outcome.
Update 3-1-08: Sorted, it’s amazing what a little legal threatening will do.
After ten years and some quiet times, changes to the club heirarchy and the ejection of a member (cya PeeDee, hope you can finally get your head together) the decision was made to bring the patch in to the 21st century or away from the masses of other clubs that were using the same font stylings.
The actual vote was a close one, with only two members more on the aye side. So, below is the modified patch, showing the font and minor colour (that was a real sticking point) changes and the replacement of ‘In God We Trust’ with Luke 14:23
All members have been granted a period of three months to acquire the replacement patch with all old patches to either be framed and wall mounted or burnt. At no stage must an old patch be hidden way or given away.
The colours are as you see them - unfortunately, computers never do a picture justice.
If anyone is interested, we are organising a Christian Biker run on Easter Sunday 2008.
The run which will culminate in a show and shine including religious service, will be from Homebush to Penrith along Parramatta Road and the Great Western Highway, ALL Christian bikers are welcome.
More details will be posted as the day draws near.
