Paul Hughes

Vice President’s Report

I

t’s a nice quiet life as the VP. I have had some excitement with the 1200GS, which needed a new drive shaft immediately after my trip in NSW in February. The drive shaft, at 140,000 km, had a frozen universal joint, so our great supporter Munich Motorcycles came to the rescue. Bruce and Sandy have superb service and fully refurbished my drive with new universals and metal protection in less than a week’s turn around. Interesting that the “wet heads” drive shaft has slightly larger universals than all the previous models. Must be to handle all the extra horsepower...lol. I have had some pleasant rides including the Tyalgum Pub lunch ride and also the Imbil ride. Good turn outs and fun times. Looking forward to the Cane Toad Rally and Christmas in July. Don’t forget to get yourself involved in the monthly photo comp. Ride Safe Ride often Cheers Paul

My first BMW.....

David Whale, Member #4185 Where it all started my first BMW, an R100T, took it all over Europe. Cindy Bennett, Member #4170 - Red G650GS. A great bike to get back into riding on.
