Possibly Asked Questions

Q: Vorb sounds cool, I'm in Wellington how do I hook up with you guys?

A: The VORB List is pretty much at capacity at the moment and we're keen on keeping it simple and friendly. My best suggestion is - get the e-mail addresses of a couple of your mates that ride and start your own mailing list. Get them to invite their own mates and add those to your list, you'll also find yourself collecting similarly minded riders out on the trails. Viola - too easy.

Q: What does V.O.R.B stand for?

A: Originally Vaguely Organised, Ride Bikes - but Vorb has become a word in it's own right.

Q: How does the decision making process in VORB work?

A: In the areas of list administration, website etc, Tama does whatever the hell he wants to until people tell him otherwise. This is known as benevolent despotism don't question it and no one gets hurt.

On the trail the following steps are more or less followed:

Step 1) When a decision needs to be made someone has an outbreak of inspiration and makes a coherent suggestion.
Step 2) If the suggestion is deemed to be based in reality and sounds fun the group goes with it.
Step 3) Otherwise, a impromptu discussion forum is formed where people are free to give their opinions on where the group should be heading, what they thought of a particular movie, and the personality defects of people close to them.
Step 4) Sooner or later Step 1 is repeated.

This works surprisingly well and is known as mob tactics or anarchy.
