Cindy & Duncan Bennett Editors’ Report
Welcome to all for a new BMWMCQ year and thanks to the hardworking 2020 committee and members who made last year a lot of fun. 2020 was the Year of the Bumblebee with celebration of 40 years of the GS, a motorcycle that changed the world by getting greying nomads out of the caravan expos and onto farm roads less travelled all over the world. As Triumph riders we’d love all years to be the Year of the RAT, but far more appropriately designate 2021 to be Year of the Cane Toad, with this event over the Anzac Day long weekend an absolute mustin our calendar. Havingjustdoneacasual8,200kmjaunttoTassieandbackwecanconfirmthatthere is still some stuff to see in Australia, and we don’t have to go overseas to experience trying to understand a word of what people are saying. Or even leave the state for that matter. We might be nil stock for glaciers and castles but we have a monopoly on service station dim sims. Truly we are the lucky country when it comes to motorcycling.

On a vaguely related to the Journal topic, readers will notice changes to the approved club logo as from this month. The major changes are the roundel, and the layout from landscape to portrait which is a bit painful for we editors. The roundel is now very minimalist design and transparent so whatever colour it sits over replaces the white area in the BMW ring and the text and rings change from grey to white. What does this mean for us motorcyclists? Not much fortunately.
