IBA Australia Inaugural Muster
- Thread starter tj189
- Start date
I have to withdraw as well due to an accident at work, Malcolm who I was going to be riding with is still going & he now has a spare room booked at the Motel in Parkes for Fri Sat & Sun nights.
If anyone is interested they should message him via email: [email protected]
Thanks to the team for organising this, unfortunately 6 months of planning can be undone by 30seconds of inattention
Have a safe ride all

At this stage, still planning to attempt the ride. One problem is relapse of MS which is taking longer to recover from. Can function fairly well but have trouble with energy levels, fatigue, some co-ordination trouble, and concentration.
Will give it a few more days then make final decision. This may turn out to be a late scratching, so understand and apologise beforehand if there is any inconvenience, fully understand possible loss of fees etc.

I will be a withdrawal from this event.
Completely my fault. I only gave the waiver a cursory glance when signing it, and I hadn't really had a chance to participate in any forum discussions for quite a number of months. Logged on for the first time this morning, and caught up with some of the discussions. I've now re-read the waiver and cannot, as a matter of principal, reconcile myself with signing away my rights for somebody else's negligence. I'm pretty sure that would be overridden by legislation under Health and Safety, and implied duty of care, but I could be wrong.
I don't expect anything to go wrong, but there's no way I will condone telling the owner of a venue that I absolve them of any negligence.
What's done is done. I can't unsign the waiver. I won't be asking for my money back. I simply will not be attending Parkes.
Sorry, folks.

Pete, I think you are right re the waiver not standing upif the venue is negligent.
However, we clearly need a waiver version 3 that fixes this.
We also need calm reasoned supportive voices to sit down and have an adult conversation with the IBA OZ team in Parkes to sort this, which means we need you.
Don't mistake this mob for the other lot that take their bat and ball and go home as soon as you disagree with them. Karl and TJ have shown themselves ready and willing to work on this.
Anyway, I've got a soft spot for bricks and would like to see yours. Please reconsider.
