Classic Riders Club of Goulburn

Blown away I tell you, the Goulburn DGR was beyond our wildest expectations. Our team thought, maybe we’ll get 50-60 riders and $5,000 first time out and we would have been happy with that. How silly were we, our local motorcycling community embraced our dream head on and delivered 128 riders and just under $17,000 in donations to the DGR cause. Now let’s put some meat on the bones here, DGR Goulburn had only 18 less riders than Canberra and 4 less than Newcastle and we rais

We had a fabulous tour covering around 1000km, I had planned on around 900 but when I checked the log book on returning home the tour was longer than expected. Julie Kneebone and Cherrie Thrower acted as our faithful back up team, fortunately the trailer was not required until the last 50km or so and then only because of a minor and easily remedied issued with Howard’s Jawa. The scenery and roads were amazing and we were lucky enough to catch the countryside at its Spring pea

Recently, spending more time on Youtube than I care to admit to, I came across an interesting British video that examined the decline in Classic Motorcycle Clubs and the sale of classic British motorcycles. The crux of the matter was that those folk interested in classic Brit machines and the activities of the Clubs were/are aging out and that if clubs failed to look towards renewal they would fade from the scene. Of course this is Australia, there are many differences with

Imagine if our pleasure rides were off the agenda because of a lack of fuel or if we had to choose between going for a Sunday blast or using the family car during the week. Hopefully we’ll not be faced with this dilemma, although currently the fuel situation is not exactly peachy. During WW2 and for some time after this was the type of choice people faced daily, fuel was in such short supply it could only be justified to use it for essential transportation needs. In the lead

I’d like to explore the theme of what we think character means in terms of motorcycles, after all the term is thrown around by riders, owners and reviewers with complete abandon, the assumption is we can all put our fingers on what character actually means, well sorry, but I struggle a bit in defining the concept. Potentially fragile but lots of character? Allow me to perhaps be a little contrarian, or at least a bit annoying and don’t take any of this too seriously. Some may

A few months back on a cold Sunday club ride, two fellow riders and I were scoffing meat pies and cappuccinos whilst discussing the return trip to Goulburn. The rest of the group had left before us to try and get home and thaw out in front of their fires. 66 Dream loves a 90kph cruise, but any faster and you'll wish you had better brakes. Three items were on our informal pie shop agenda: One the road was in poor condition and could generally be best described as pothole ridde

After the recent Worn Out Wander tour I got to thinking about why motorcyclists I come across are often talking about downsizing, but first let me provide some perspective. I own a 2006 Goldwing, so about as big a bike as you can throw a leg over, now consider the numbers, with my wife and I, 25kg of luggage and a full tank of fuel this beast tips the scale at over 620 kgs. Ponder that for a moment and consider the challenge of just pulling up quickly at a stop light without
