nother busy month in June, with quite a lot of rides both club and privately. The mid week club ride was fantastic with a larger group than expected having lunch in a idyllic setting in a state National Park. The next one on 14 July promises to be a similar great experience winding up in Maroon Dam for another self catered picnic. Don’t miss it.
Yesterday several members and I attended the BMW GS Experience near Maleny. The weather was kind and there was a large selection of BMW GS bikes available from 310 all the way through to the 1250 GSA. A great day was had by all. I would recommend this annual event to anyone who is interested in the BMW line up. I am really looking forward to next weeks Christmas in July at Kingaroy. I think there is a few places left if you hurry and of course followed up with our annual mystery weekend , the Frigid Digit. Hope to see you all at one of our extensive events listings. Stay safe. Cheers Paul
President: This month’s trip down memory lane is from a Castrol 6 Hour race in 1976 when we were leaving Amaroo Park outside Sydney for the ride home to Brisbane. My Honda 750/4 is on the LHS of the picture with helmet on top of the swag next to my brother’s RD350 Yamaha. Another mate’s Kwaka 900 is next in line with mate Adrian’s R750/5 BMW. Now I will leave it to your imagination but Adrian’s BMW was notoriously slow to start when cold. With the passage of some 45 years and the death of many brain cells (self-inflicted) over that time I cannot remember what was entailed in the starting technique on display here. I just know that Adrian is a long way from the kick-starter!
