Another
month, another meeting and another magazine.
I’m enjoying this job. There is
an ability to be creative and opportunities to communicate with other members
that wouldn’t happen in other circumstances.
Unfortunately,
one of the down sides is the lack of support from the members. I am promised stories, tales and photos for
inclusion and all too often they just don’t materialise. Now it may not seem much to you the author,
but there are members out there that don’t see us at meetings, they don’t see
us on rides, they don’t see us on our social nights. You might say that’s their problem and they
should join in but it is easy to forget we have members strung out from the These
members really look forward to reading what we have been up to; it is their
only opportunity to participate in what we do. In addition to this, it must be remembered
that our Victorian Branch only commenced as a result of Goldwingers reading
about what we do. As
Leyton Hewitt would say, “Come on” and get those articles in to entertain and
encourage our “Brothers in ‘Wing riding” Happy
reading. Bevan |
Hi
all, The
world is shrinking. I’m sure you have
heard this before, but today, with the internet we are fast approaching a
global society. At
the forefront of this evolution is online personal trading, the most
prevalent manifestation being Ebay. All
we have to do is log on and there at our fingertips is access to a world of
products. Of course the usual “caveat
emptor” or “let the buyer beware” applies, even more so that at you local
supplier. Returning faulty goods is
almost impossible with an Ebay auctioned item. However,
the savings can make up for the risks. Example: I recently have been lamenting the fact
that several of the bulbs on my ring-of-fire have gone out. Being sealed in plastic, they are not
repairable. Locally
I could purchase a new set for around $200, but going to Ebay I managed to
snag a set for US$66.56. With postage
costs and conversion, the total cost, delivered to my door in a week was
$104.27. Not a bad saving. Just
start up Ebay and put “Goldwing 1500” (or 1800) in the search field. But
we must be careful with our dealings.
Import duty will kill all your savings if you purchase too much stuff
and there’s that non-existent return policy. I
guess it all depends on your preparedness to take risks. Definitely the safest way is to go to your
local supplier where you can get them same day and can return them if things
don’t work. But
the thrill of the auction and getting your packages in the mail sure is fun. Be
careful out there Clint |
We
have had a great month for rides and social evening. Following strong recommendations from RustyandMaree that Mexican food is not necessarily hot, Thommo and I felt game
enough to chance Montezumas! Are we
glad we did – it was great, the atmosphere, service and food were
excellent. As
Bear reiterated at our meeting – we must do that again. Also, Gecko and Kay’s scenic ride was
brilliant – but we will not let our Victorian members know what wonderful
weather we are enjoying at the moment! Finalising
the arrangements for our Christmas week-end, please contact me on 3366-7288
if you are joining us. Full details are
in the magazine, please confirm who you want to sleep with, and all
suggestions and requests are very welcome. Received
an apology from the kids in Emerald (MikeandMarie) who will not be able
to join us for the Christmas Week-end, hope we can catch-up with them in the
New Year. Meanwhile,
Thommo and I will be busy this week-end getting our camper-trailer in good
order for the week-end at Bikers Dream, also the bike will get some extra
polish. Ride
safely everyone. ValerieandThommo |
Followin’ the bike in front…….. And
that’s just what it was for me, in fact, I was following a lot of bikes in
front as I was riding tail for the day.
I know, I keep saying I won’t do that anymore but I actually enjoyed
it; everyone in front must have been behaving. This will be a strange ride report as I
need something to fill some empty space in the magazine and for most of the
ride, I didn’t have a clue where I was.
We assembled at the BP North and the photo below shows 10 wings lined
up. I know there was more on the ride
than |
that
but if you’re bike isn’t in the picture, then you obviously parked in the
wrong place. With
Gecko leading the way we headed up the highway looking for a likely road that
would get us out of the traffic. At
least one false start and were off the highway and found ourselves on a road
that went somewhere. About here, I
could add in a few words like, “after following this road for a while we
turned off onto a road that went somewhere else”, but I won’t do that. One thing I do clearly remember about the
ride was that we crossed the Bruce Highway more times than I would have |
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
thought
possible, both under and over. I think
there was only one crossing we used more than once. A look at the map shows a lot of small roads
on the western side of the highway and I reckon Gecko knows all of them and
there weren’t too many of them we didn’t travel over. I guess |
that
knowledge is the benefit of Gecko’s probably misspent years in the area. After
touring around numerous roads and stopping at a down-hill T intersection with
a road surface so slippery you could barely hold the bike stationery with
your feet, we were treated to a wonderful |
|
|
riding
tour of the Botanical Gardens Car park.
I guess this was an attempt to qualify for a genuine AWRA about turn. We
then headed off to the Super Bee for smoko and honey tasting. What great fun that was, haven’t been there
for years. As you can see, Thommo won onto a bird. |
|
You
will also notice below that he was severely punished for his actions. With all flavours of honey tasted, most
settled down to a “snack” consisting of a waffles and cream and a coffee.
After this there was a need for some exercise by wandering |
through
the grounds. This result-ed in some
excitement when Deb and Val decided to put their driving skills to the test
using the hi-speed vehicles available for the purpose. No records were kept
of the race results but the photos appear to speak for |
|
|
themselves By this time the weather had warmed up so
it was off with the warm gear, back on the bikes and off again on more roads
that led somewhere else. Eventually,
we came out on the Nambour Mapleton Road and I actually new where I was. |
|
Down
the mountain into Nambour then across to the Waterfront Hotel, Maroochydore
for lunch. Again, being true to
ourselves, we immediately set about re-arranging the furniture into more
suitable and socially convivial positions and enjoyed a great meal and good
company. It was great to see that we
provide such great rides that Lindsay would fly back from overseas to
participate and fly back the next day. After
lunch, we broke into two groups with some heading back |
|
to
Rusty and Maree’s for coffee while the rest headed back to Brisbane. On
the way home, Therese and I took the opportunity to catch up with Lionel and
Mary. (Just to tell them what a great
ride they missed.) The good news is
that Lionel has been cleared and is driving again, so we can look forward to
then being on our rides again. Thanks Gecko, great ride
even if I didn’t know where I was most of the time. Bevan |
Hello to all the members in
QLD Well as usual Melbourne
turned out anther great night for our dinner pouring rain and cold however
that did not dampen our sprits and every one turned up for the dinner at
Sofia’s restaurant in Wheelers Hill. It also appeared that half of Melbourne
was there as well as it was packed. The dinner again was a great success and
as you can see from the pics Denny needed help to eat his ice cream |
|
|||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|||
|
He is now not sure if the
ice cream beats the custard tarts; I guess we will have to wait until the
next ride. Thanks to Doug and Preeta
for travelling across the city on such a night, the Sunday was supposed to be
a ride however the weather got the better of us and we postponed once again. Thanks to

Anyone for a swim? An elderly man in
Queensland had owned a large property for several years. He had a dam in the next paddock, fixed up
nice - picnic tables, horseshoe courts, and some mango and avocado
trees. The dam was properly shaped and
fixed up for swimming when it was built. One evening the old
farmer decided to go down to the dam to look it over as he hadn't been there
for a while. He grabbed a five gallon bucket to bring back some fruit. As he neared the dam, he heard voices
shouting and laughing with glee. As he
came closer he saw there was a bunch of young women skinny-dipping in his
dam. He made the women aware of his
presence and they all went to the deep end. One of the women shouted to him,
"We're not coming out until you leave!" The old man frowned,
"I didn't come down here to watch you ladies swim naked or make you get
out of the dam naked." Holding the bucket up he said, "I'm here to
feed the crocodile." The moral of the story?: Old men might walk slowly but they can still think
fast. |

Honda
Develops Motorcycle Airbag
System September 8, 2005 - Honda Motor Co., Ltd. today
announced it has succeeded in developing the world’s first production
motorcycle airbag system to be made available in 2006. |
I’ve included a few
pictures of significant changes to the bike including the air bag, integrated
GPS, heater vents. Apparently it will
be available in differing models and will have goodies such as a heated seat.
No change to engine, gearbox or frame. The inclusion of an air bag
has |
created some chat on the
forums. For more information, here are
a couple of sites: http://world.honda.com/Motorcy cleAirbag/operation/ http://www.gl1800riders.com/fo rums/viewtopic.php?t=37431&p ostdays=0&postorder=asc&start =0 |

Hi everyone! Most of us (Wing Lovers) get to the stage in our life that the kids are
grown up and it’s time for mum and dad to buy a Wing, take off for day trips
or longer and just enjoy ourselves.
Most times the Wings we buy are second hand even if only slightly
(reasonably low k’s) which brings me to one of our experiences with our Wing As we had never ridden a Wing before we thought it was great (as you
do), a smooth comfy ride and looking very cool of course - but still
Hot! - anyway after several months of touring around it got to the stage that
something was just not quite right - different somehow - each time we went
out it seemed the air in the rear shockie had to be
adjusted (no comments please!) and handling was a little different each time (no consistency). The Wing was actually getting to the stage
of being unpleasant (heaven forbid) and felt dangerous at times to ride.
Speaking to others in the group some said they had had a few problems and
others had not had a problem but just crank up the pressure. Time to do something drastic, Again the Wing comes apart, you know....
remove that seat and other bits open eyes and it is so easy to see the
rear shockie covered in oil (in other words shockie not functioning at all).
No leaks last time it was checked but things change quite quickly
sometimes. So a quick call to Bevan one
Friday night remembering he said he had a spare shockie that maybe we could
borrow while ours was rebuilt. In
luck. Bevan and Therese kindly met us
halfway between their place and ours next day (in the carpark of the wedding
they were attending). We got home put
the Wing all back together in time to be picked up along the way, by a sea of
beautiful colour for the Sunday ride the next day. What a ride that was, the difference to the
handling that shockie made was unbelievable. Better than when we first got
our Wing. Anyway thanks to Bevan and Therese over the next few weeks, with the
borrowed shockie we could still
socialize and our original shockie was rebuilt, at the same time we fitted
those great Dunlop Elite tyres and what a combination! The Teale Wing is back to being a very
pleasurable means of transport for socializing and being with friends again! Bear |
Two Irish hunters got a pilot to fly them to Canada
to hunt moose. They bagged six. As they started loading the plane for the
return trip, the pilot said the plane could take only four moose. The two lads objected strongly. "Last year we
shot six, and the pilot let us put them all on board; he had the same plane
as yours." Reluctantly, the pilot gave in and all six were loaded.
Unfortunately, even with full power, the little plane couldn't handle the
load and went down a few moments after take-off. Climbing out of the wreckage, Paddy asked Mick,
"Any idea where we are?" "Bejasus, I think
we're pretty close to where we crashed last year." |

Gecko’s
rider briefing |

Hello
to all the wingers! We had a good turn out for the August run, starting at
the BP North we headed north up the highway with 10 wings and one make
believe wing [sorry Wendy] and one new wing rider. Turning of at the Glenview
exit from there we went in land towards the back of Mooloolah. From
here we journeyed through to Eudlo and from there back to Tanawha. As we rode
along the C.B was full of talk and excitement, it was good to find roads we
haven’t been on before. By this time we were a little bit early for smoko so
we took a detour to show everyone the Maroochydore Botanical Gardens. |
Then
it was back to the Super Bee for morning tea. It was once thought that all
honey tasted the same! Not true so our riders found out while tasted about
twelve different types of honey. We were all soon shown up by the
skateboarding birds who thought they really knew how to ride. There was much
to see at the Super Bee Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, the House that Jack
Built and Goldilocks and the Three Bears! For those who missed the ride a
good time was had by all. We spent an hour there at the Super Bee; the food
was great and well priced. I did hear a few say they were coming back with
the kids as Deb, Val and Thommo were seen having fun roaring around on the
mini electric bikes! |
|
|
But
all good things come to an end, so we all mounted up and continued our August
ride. We
headed around through Forest Glen to Chevallum then Palmwoods. Just west of
Woombye where we came on the Blackall Range road heading up to Dulong and
down to Nambour. Then we headed north to North Arm, I pointed out where I
grew up and the old school house, then it was back to Yandina. We headed
around the side of Dunethin Rock and up through Bli Bli on to the waterfront hotel
for lunch. We all enjoyed our meal and thoroughly relaxed looking out over
the canal and enjoyed the scenery. |
From here everyone was
invited back to Rusty’s place for tea and coffee before the journey home. Kay and I hope that
everyone enjoyed the day and ride. To those that made it, thank you for a
great ride and lovely day as we all shared something very special together.
We are grateful for the friendship and company we have found through this
club, by far the most wonderful people that Kay and I have met. It is a great
club, Thank you. Till we meet again that’s
all for now, RIDE SAFE!! GeckoandKay |
A truck driver breaks down
on the freeway with a cargo of live monkeys on board, bound for Taronga Park
Zoo. They need to be delivered by 9:00am and the driver fears he will get the
sack if they don't get there on time. He decides to try and thumb a lift for
his monkeys and eventually an Irish lorry driver pulls over. "Where they going?" asks the Irish
fella. "Do us a favour mate and
take these to Taronga Park Zoo for me" says the driver, "and here's
a hundred bucks for your trouble."
"Happy days," says the Irish fella, loads the monkeys onto
his truck and gets on his way. The truck driver goes about
trying to fix his truck and is there for good few hours when he notices the
Irish fella coming back down the freeway, still with all the chimps on
board. Panicking, he flags him down
again. "What are you playing at," he fumes, "I told you to
take them to Taronga Park Zoo!" "I did," says the bemused Irish fella, "but there’s still fifty bucks left so now we're going to Luna Park." |
With the Goomburra Valley Camp Ground weekend coming
up, I still needed to finalise a suitable route. As usual, all those questions go through
the mind; you know, how many, where is somewhere different, how much time
have I got and so on. The additional
question this time was that there would be at least four trailers involved
and I had not previously ridden the route I had in mind. With all that in mind, what else could I do
but go for a ride and check it out.
Now, you'll have to bear with me on this one because I don't want to
actually disclose where we went as I will keep that for a future time. Needless to say, due to |
time and trailer constraints, we won't be using
the proposed route on the weekend of 24/25 September. Leaving
home bright and early with Daniel on the back, I headed for Carindale to
collect Trevor on his Bandit; the Valkyrie is still being punished for
tipping him off; then across to Holland Park to collect Matthew, the first
opportunity for a real Father and Son ride, where the son was actually
riding. This was also to be Matthew's
first real ride of any distance. After
three months of cussing, spanner work and $, the Virago was finally
performing as it should have went we bought it. |
A quick bit of maintenance to put the screen back
on and we were away. I had played with
taking the Deauville out but following the usual struggle through the traffic
lights, once out on the open road I remembered why I'd bought the Wing in the
first place. Larry was supposed to be
joining us but a change of his schedule meant he had to work instead. Shame Larry, you missed a good ride. First stop was Beaudesert for a quick retension of
the screen mounts and onwards toward Boonah.
About 10 klm down the road and we encountered a few push bikes and the
cars trying to get round them on an uphill double line section. We handled that OK but it was a taste of |
Doctor's
Office There's nothing worse than a Doctor's Receptionist who
insists you tell her what is wrong with you in a room full of other patients.
I know most of us have experienced this, and I love the way this old guy
handled it. An 86-year-old man walked into a crowded doctor's
waiting room. As he approached the desk, the receptionist said, "Yes
sir, what are you seeing the doctor for today?” "There's something wrong with my old
fella," he replied. The
receptionist became irritated and said, "You shouldn't come into a
crowded room and say things like that."
"Why not? You asked me
what was wrong and I told you," he said.
The receptionist replied, "You've obviously caused some
embarrassment in this room full of people.
You should have said there is something wrong with your ear or
something and then discussed the problem further with the doctor in
private." The man replied,
"You shouldn't ask people things in a room full of others, if the answer
could embarrass anyone." The man walked out, waited several minutes and then
re-entered. The receptionist smiled
smugly and asked, "Yes?"
"There's something wrong with my ear," he stated. The receptionist nodded approvingly and
smiled, knowing he had taken her advice.
"And what is wrong with your ear, sir?" "I can't pee out of it," the man replied. The waiting room erupted in
laughter |
things
to come. We had found the Great
Queensland Bike Ride! What a shambles;
bikes all over the oncoming lane, two and three abreast, towing trailers with
little kids in; (funny how it's illegal to do that in a caravan or trailer behind
a car), semi-trailers, cars, trucks trying to avoid them while travelling in
each direction along the highway. At
one stage we came round a blind corner on a double line crest only to find a
gathering point with cars and bikes all over the road and no warning what so
ever. Even later, we came across the
two police escort motorcyclists stopped on the side of the road on another
blind bend. If nobody was injured on
that ride then it must have been good luck, not good management. We arrived at Boonah and performed a bit more
maintenance on the screen mounts. ……..cont. |
I must teach that boy how
to tighten things properly. Ever onwards
we travelled, doing my best to identify unknown turns in sufficient time but
the inevitable happened and quick braking and a right turn was required. Not a good idea. I could hear the squeal of a tyre being
subject to forces not recommended by the manufacturer. With a quick check of the mirror I decided
discretion was the better part of valour and I accelerated forward, allowing
Matthew room to stop. |
He'll certainly keep his eyes
open next time but I'm sure Therese would have had severe words with me if he
had hit me. Well, at least I'd lived
up to our standards and incorporated the obligatory U-turn. From here it was through some beautiful
scenic country, a bit of wild life, a few cows and the inevitable deposits
left in their wake and avoiding a wayward driver more intent on the scenery
than any other vehicles that might be around.
I won't give away too much information but it was great |
riding and a reminder of
why we ride and enjoy biking. Arriving
at the halfway point we re-fuelled both ourselves and the bikes, discussed to
options for trailers, recounted our individual adventures, admired the Bower
birds, and then continued on our merry way.
The ride home was fairly uneventful and apparently boring as Daniel's
helmet kept hitting mine each time he fell asleep. That means I'll need to find a more
interesting route for the second half of the ride. |
|
Sorry for the sketchiness but I'd prefer to keep the
route a surprise for another day. Bevan. Secret Santa and Raffle If you are coming to the Christmas Party,
don’t forget your Secret Santa gift.
$5.00 value for someone the same sex as yourself. Also, bring along a small donation for the hamper raffle Pre-Christmas dinner gathering As well as your Secret Santa and Hamper
donation, bring along some finger food/nibblies for the socialising as we
relax after the ride. Of course, as riding is such thirsty
work, so you may want to bring some drinks as well. |
