What a great meeting last night with Andrew Boardman’s contribution of his machine taking centre stage. 

He showcased his 1980/500cc Jawa 894 speedway bike for the club’s “Show N Tell,” captivating everyone with its stunning design and historical significance.

The Jawa 894 speedway bike is a masterpiece of speed and power, boasting an impressive 65hp and weighing in at a mere 86kg. Equipped with no breaks and no gears & a total loss oil system, it requires exceptional skill and precision to tame its formidable performance.

Adding to the evening’s excitement was Andrew Barrett, a seasoned speedway and ice racer who shared his expert insights and personal experiences with the club members. His anecdotes and technical knowledge provided a deeper understanding of the challenges and exhilaration of high-speed racing on both dirt tracks and frozen surfaces.

Thanks Guys,

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 !

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.
