The club has accepted an invitation for a bike display & demonstration laps at Morgan Park Raceway at the Qld Early Motorcycle Road race C’ships on 20 Sept. Prior nomination will be required.

The bucket (prounced bouquet) hat was voted as the prime piece of clothing for the South American trip, and was always within reach in Cuba and Texas where the temperatures were well over 100°F in the old measure. Do yourself a favour. Might be time to swap over to the warmer gear for the next little while though.

Bill Luyten Tools Officer’s Report Service Day

The Club Service Day was held at Rob Wynne’s place at Jimboomba on 24 June.

About 30 members met up at Rob’s to enjoy a bit of discussion on their bikes, a bit of maintenance and a use of the GS911 diagnostic tool. Thanks again goes to Rob for providing the great shed and barbeque. Thanks also to Chris and wife Nola for helping our with the BBQ.

Sausage sandwiches and drinks were sold raising $110 for the RFDS (Royal Flying Doctors).
