Dutchy gets a new bike? again??

nope.

My new ride will be enjoyed over the next 3 years
AS BV BOARD MEMBER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm still trying to come to grips with it.
A combo of excited, scared, bewildered, did i mention scared?

But first things, first.
A HUGE thank you to those of you
who cared enough about BV to vote,
and even more if you voted for me :D

Many, many thanks to 'the crew' whose talking, chalking, support,
ideas, suggestions made this whole ride possible.

And lastly, an apology.
I'm under no delusions that i will be able to see direct results
overnight, so I realise I may dissapoint many but please feel free to
contact me with your concerns, woes, beratings(?), etc
I'm going to give this my best shot

fanx again

congrats, FD. All the best, I hope the process doesn't turn you
into Mark Latham! Remember, it's not a crime to make mistakes
as a politician, it's a crime to have a closed mind!

You have nothing to apologise for. You've done something admirable
and brave, you've put your head well above the parapets. A lot of
people say stuff on this forum, a lot of people whine and bitch. There
are very few who actually /do/ something.

You won't please everyone all the time but you're a good bloke and
you'll do your best. Bravo, well done and for what it's worth you have
my support, such as it is.

Time for me and the boss to start thinking globally and acting
locally.

Thank YOU Dutchy, you're putting your time and money where your mouth
is. If they match up you'll do just fine :-)

I know it's bad form to follow up on one's post but had to correct
something.

Thank YOU Dutchy, you're continally putting your time and money where
your mouth is. If they continue to match up you'll do just fine.

Congrats and Good Luck...!! I know I could not handle a job like
that.... I steer clear at the first hint of politics.... looking
forward to seeing Bike Paths become more prevalent then roads in your
tenure, including Bike Toll ways!!!! :)

and a Carbon Fibre road bike all people taking part in the next years
Great Victorian Bike Ride!!

Woo hoo .. congratulations. You have permission to lord it up this week
and savour your moment as King of the World..
Maybe you can leave us some new chalk messages like:

King Jason
thanx u

Now we can harass you later about BV stuff.. Only joking.. Atleast you
already have both this forum and the BUG to use to get messages out
etc.

Good luck and i expect to see the obligatory mugshot in the next BV
mag. Please dont let them use a photo of you suited up on a bike,
helmet being worn the lopsided beret style, pretending you ride to work
that way.
