Great meeting last night 09-04-24

Great meeting last night at our South Geelong Clubrooms.

Australia’s only Ice Racer – Andrew Barrett (and our club Vice President) gave a fantastic presentation of his recent racing adventures in Finland & The Netherlands.

It was great to see his passion for such a unique sport, and to get hands on with a “used” race tyre, amazing.

Thanks Guy Perdrisat for organising the Pizza night, was delicious.

The Lucky Member door prize was drawn – No. 80 – Patrick Eijsvogel was drawn at Random, unfortunately Patrick wasn’t present at the meeting so the door prize will Jackpot to next meeting.

Come along for your chance to be the lucky member !

Monday 25th – upcoming Red Plate Ride

A group decision was made at the most recent Red Plate Monday ride to have an “old & small bike” themed ride for this following Monday’s ride 25th March.

This shorter ride, with a maximum speed of 85 km/h, to accommodate the older machines (and riders!).

The ride will originate from the normal Barrabool Rd meeting point and will be led by John Pierce, the planned route is to venture out through the picturesque Maude Valley before concluding in Lethbridge.

Dust off that old (or small) red plate machine and come along to enjoy a great low stress cruise out through the Golden Plains. Hope to see you there.

What a great night.

What a great night last night with Special Guest Speakers Brian Rix & Shirley Hardy-Rix enthralling tails of their worldwide motorcycling adventures.

With more than 50 members & Guests in attendance at our South Geelong Clubrooms.

Brian & Shirley, with their infectious enthusiasm and witty storytelling, regaled the audience with tales of the open road, challenging terrains, and heartwarming encounters.

From navigating the rugged landscapes of the Himalayas to the bustling streets of Southeast Asia, they shared their experiences with a touch of humour and a deep appreciation for the freedom of motorcycling.

The event concluded with a lively Q&A session, where Brian and Shirley engaged with the audience, answering questions about their favourite routes, travel tips, and the lessons they have learned along the way

A very big thanks to Brian & Shirley for taking the time to come to the SMCC last night, thank you to Rodney McFadden for helping organise the night, Thanks to Bot and his BBQ for feeding the assembled, no one went home hungry.

Hope to see you at the next one 👍
