Ulysses whyalla

Mrs Clothier asked the public to be cautious on the roads over the weekend with what is expected to be a significant increase in motorbikes in local traffic. The Ulysses Motorcycle Club welcomes older motorcyclists aged 40 years and over and prides in being the largest social club in Australia. The group aims to provide ways in which older motorcyclists can get together for companionship and mutual support. Showing by example that motorcycling can be an enjoyable and practical activity for riders of all ages and drawing to the attention of public and private institutions to the needs and views of older riders.

All rides will have a ride leader and a tail-end Charlie will always stay at the back of the group so that everyone can ride at their own pace. We will also use corner marshals when the ride leader thinks it is required. The rider immediately behind the leader will stop and wait on a corner if the ride leader indicates by pointing to the corner and will remain on the corner directing other riders until tail end Charlie goes past.

The system works well if adhered to and lets everyone ride in confidence and that they will not get lost even if they cannot see any other riders. Details in the Riding On Magazine. After a bit of socialising, it was time for the feast that our hosts had organised. We started off with prawn cocktails, and then for main course had a selection of roast meats and vegetables. To finish off, we had pudding with custard, cream and ice cream. Throughout the night there was much socialising and the stories just got better and better as the pile of empties got bigger.

Mick got a lot of unwanted attention and was the centre of many jokes for buying a Harley, but he knew it was because we were all jealous and, at one stage, we realised that there were more Harley owners than any other brand in attendance. Terry scored a 9.

It was a brilliant night and the group thanks Cossy and Jules for organising the night, hosting us at their home and for cleaning up after us.

The venue for the ride this year was the Gawler Caravan Park, which was easy walking distance to the hotels that we used for meals. The attendance for meals was bolstered by members who were not riding, but opted to join us for the social aspect, which was very pleasing. This gave everyone a chance to ride some very good twisty roads, which I believe was very well received by the Eyre Peninsula riders, as they do not have a lot of twisties over there.
