View Full Version : Taffia Moaner Group
the taffia is going from strenth to strenth, but, there is still no metion of WALES in the reigions we are stuck in the south west,
i say we rise up against this dictatership and claim our own region so the people of wales can unite
whos with me
:smt006
I think South East Wales (which is what the Taffia is) has more in common geographically with South West England than North Wales.
How about a South Wales group?

Why not... :smt096
Why do you need a region group with wales in the title? It doesn't mention England either?
This board is for all South and West SV owners (including "to be's"!)/like minded people.
I'm hoping this board will give all members insightful aid of this big world of biking "down ere' in the South and West of England".
Come spring we have opportunity to meet, ride out, discover the faces behind the names and above all have a top tip time! :(
I dont think that's really the issue

The revolution has just begun, the people will not be silenced!
I'll update it then, though this has been discusses before and I don't think there will be a 'Wales' section as due to the number of sections we have already. Another section would probably need to be removed to make up for it.
bah............... not enough
i am campaigning to change the region title from this
South & West Surfers
Just for the guys and gals in the south and south west of the UK.
to this
wales & South & West Surfers
Just for the guys and gals in the wales, the south and south west of england
and thats just for starters
please show your suport:smt016

As a founder of the S&WS section with the long lost Monkey, the original region made sense because of the Severn Bridge connection. In other words Newport is a close to Bristol time wise virtually as Bath and Chippenham. Add to that that me and Monkey and the long lost surfers we hardly ever see used to most often actually go to Wales rather than around Bristol meant that we had a healthy mix of folks over the wider area.
IIRC the Grinch/Scoobs/Matt/Keith etc posse joined up with us and even though we were diverse many of us met once in a while, shared rideouts, and in the interim had our own submeets. Hence was born the MoFos and those that often met at Poole, Portsdown etc, and then the Taffia. Of course our main rides were organised out of Wales by Mogs and Jabba.
And we all lived happily ever after and it was a good section. People realised they were a way apart, but understood, accepted and lived with that. However, times change, people change and things move on.
I dont care one bit as I dont see anyone much (sorry to say) and as it happens do most of my riding in Wales, but that's the history. As far as I can see shouting for a south wales section is pointless, you are a critical mass but only when among the S&WS.
I think breaking the section is pointless and doing something just for the sake of it and shouted for by the vocal few. You will end up with a section with no real raison d'etre other than being a few mates. Thats what the sub groups like the MoFos are for. A regional section should be for the bigger things. There are already some critically small sections here, and when that happens there's a danger of cliques forming, and those can form even in the bigger groups, eh Mods? ;)
If you are really bothered why not rename it South & West & Welsh Surfers or something.
Post less crap and do more stuff.

Hovis, you are further from north Wales than you probably are from Southampton, and they have their own section up there anywhere. Think about where you go to, and thats the basis of YOUR region.

Apparently a dicky bird told me that Hovis isn't allowed in North Wales
*spanner is full and truly in the works*
I used to wonder why there was never a full wales section, it wasn't untill i found out how long it takes from top to bottom lol.

Blah...
wales & South & West Surfers
Thats a lot of '&' in that title, plus ain't there a capital on Wales? Or are you inferring that Wales has no capital thus does not really count as its own region, thus is just part of the great a marvelous England? ;)

I say there should be a taffia section. We'll revolt worse than Royal Mail i tell you!!!!!
South West surfers covers too big an area for what's required. I mean your talking from the tip of south west wales to portsmouth.

Good, but on an average night how many would you say you get ?
ok i mean south wales
Yes but you didnt state that.
Hovis, if you want to sit down with the other Taffia members and make a reasoned proposal as to how you might run the section, ( pub meets dont not make a section by themselves ) what you think it might bring to the forum as a whole, how many memebers you think you'd attract, would run you regular rideouts that are organised, planned and prepared for to the extend that my last rideout or Xan's are.
If you think about it in a constructive way and its proposed properly through the correct channels i.e you PM a Mod or Admin about it so we can take your proposal to the other mods, then we'll think about it. But I'm making no promises. I dont think that based on current evidence you'd have enough traffic to warrant your own section. But if you want to prove me wrong then by all means go ahead.

And what is required? Fizz's comments above are very reasoned. There's, or at elast there should be, a lot more too it than pub and chat.
I think we can find a compromise here and have S Wales added to the subtext. Hovis can't be the only geographically challenged person.
I don't want to have a new section for S. Wales. I think it could lead us to become very insular. If it had been set up a few years ago I may never have met some people who, although I don't meet often, I consider them my good friends. Having the Taffia. Mofo's and Poole Quay Threads is good enough.
Good, but on an average night how many would you say you get ?.
at least 6
I dont think that based on current evidence you'd have enough traffic to warrant your own section.
probally not. after concideration maybe things are best as they are for now, although i would like south wales mentioned in the title
& the rideouts are always left to mogs/jabba/VB i think i should plan a rideout, maybe next year (look out):smt091
as xan pointed out, we have not realy had any taffia rideouts, i think this needs to change, b4 anything
zombie jesus might be doing one this sat
there has been quite a few members joining or moving to cardiff latley, so hopfuly we will become a bit bigger

Why not just change the name to the Surfers. After all the South, West and South Wales have all the best surfing.
The Surfers
For all the tarmac surfers in the South and West of England and South Wales
After all MIGTS means nothing,as do a number of the other names.

What's so dangerous about cliques? Especially in the context of motorcycling where riding with people you know and trust is a pretty sensible thing to do, eh Non-Mods? ;)
If it had been set up a few years ago I may never have met some people who, although I don't meet often, I consider them my good friends.
That's a good point. Vickster and I wouldn't be going to Utah with EvilTwin & Sarah if it were not for the sizeable catchment of the SaWS.
Thanks Mogs, you make sense happen in world of chaos :)

And that probably would not have happened in a clique. Some of my best biking has been with people Ive never met before. But thats not really the issue, I dont think there is an issue :lol:

This is good, I like it. It keeps the essence of the original, and is clear about the geography. Has my vote.

Kinda sums up my view, too.
There simply aren't enough of us to make it viable.
Besides, the SW has Tiverton Little Chef, and we don't have anything of such comedy value (other than Mogs) to tempt people in from other regions. Mind you, we do have lots of sheep.
