16.01.07 Down near Phillip Island, a pretty part of the world with some damn good riding.

Hi,

We are down at Kilcunda (near Phillip Island) in Victoria, central to Phillip Island racing circuit, Inverloch and Wilson’s Prom. We have a farm stay unit. Self-contained (lounge/kitchen, bathroom & bedroom). We also have an entertainment shed with pool table and dance floor. We own a trike ourselves, but love to mix with bikers and trikers. Our farm stay can be viewed at http://www.national3wheelers.org.au/

Go to links and look for ‘Self drive hire and demo rides’ and ‘Triker Homestay South Gippsland’.

You have a fantastic site. Keep up the good work.

Whittlesea Half Throttle Rally - IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT!!

HELP US SAVE OUR RALLY!

Hi Guys,

Some of you may have heard that our Rally has been cancelled this year.

This was due to the local football club withdrawing their support at the last minute.

The local football club provided us with use of their club rooms, bar facility and they put on the Saturday evening meal.

In an endeavour to save the Rally an emergency sub-committee has been formed and some alternative solutions sought.

Instead of using the football club rooms, we will use a Pavilion in the showgrounds.

There will still be a band on Saturday night.

Instead of drinks purchased over the bar it will be BYO (The pub is just down the road and will be cheaper anyway)

Instead of the football club providing a meal, we will provide a spit roast with potatoes and salad. ($10 a head)

Breakfast on Friday and Saturday will be available. (Bacon and egg sandwiches - $2.70)

Tea and coffee - $1.00

There will be no more pre-registration. Registration will be $20 or $10 for a day visit.

Camping only

Toilet and shower faciliteies are still available

BBQ facilities are available for your own cooking if required

We will make a final decision THIS Saturday as to whether we are able to proceed with the rally. Final notification will be emailed afterwards.

If you still intend to come to the Rally, could you please register your interest by replying to htrally@optusnet.com.au BEFORE Sat 21 Oct.

This is not a commitment to attend, just an indication of interest. We just need to estimate numbers.

Sentiments we can only endorse. Lets hope Karen can get on with her life now.

18.11.04 Fleetie.mac puts out a great email alert called Exhaust Notes about upcoming club runs, biker events etc and in it this morning he announced the following good news!

AS reported by Chris Turner, from the steps of Hornsby Courthouse. As Chairman of the Noise Committee for the Motorcycle Council of NSW, Chris has taken his enthusiasm for accuracy into the court to defend a fine he received for "inefficient silencer". He was pulled over by the Highway Patrol in St Ives and issued a fine for loud pipes, even though he had a "Can Kit". This was on the basis that the policeman proclaimed himself an expert on noise judgement and ignored the Can Kit.

The Police prosecutor withdrew the case after Chris had cross-examined the policeman in the witness box. His line of questioning forced an admission that the policeman was not an "expert" and that to issue the fine required an actual noise test (Sec 160 of Roads and Traffic Regulations) and not just the "opinion" of the policeman on the spot.

This is a win of significant proportions. It gets rid of the "hassling" tool. A job very well done!

The police response to this will be interesting. Virtually the only response open to them is to advise the EPA of the bike details, so the EPA can then issue a Notice to the owner to present the bike for testing at Lidcombe.

Unless the Police then decide to "discover" some other little known Regulation with which to hassle riders. The lack of a "Can Kit" type label on an aftermarket pipe will, under the retrospective law of Clause 19 of Regs from Protection of the Environment, still attract a $200 fine. Work continues on repealing Clause 19.

But, without a roadside measurement, the fine for "cause to operate a vehicle with inefficient silencer" is of no value and may be safely fought. (the only roadside noise tests are done by EPA, so that is different game anyway and you are dead in the water if rounded up there, no matter what the Can Kit says)

The motorcycle met the requirements of Clause 19. The Police issued a fine and Defect Notice for noisy exhausts anyway.

The fine issued by the Police has no basis unless the bike was tested in accordance with the Stationary Noise Test requirements.

What a great site, just saw the president of our club on it at bike week 2004 - the Southern Cross Cruiser Club in Sydney http://www.geocities.com/sccc_au/

On April 25th the Kings Cross Bikers Social And Welfare Club along with various other clubs were involved in a ride to celebrate Anzac Day, during this ride one of our members John Tvsborg (Johnny Yellow) who was riding his bike with his wife Edith (Princess Edith) on the back. The bike was involved in an accident which has caused Edith to lose movement of her legs placing her “ in the Doctors words” in a wheelchair for the rest of her life. Johnny and Edith have 2 young children Maya (3 ½) and Mychaela (18 months). They have very strong family values and have been members of our club for about 5 years. Both have been very actively involved in the charity work associated with the club assisting disabled children, elderly, sick children at Westmead Children’s Hospital and schools. Edith has been very strong with the news that she may never walk again and has retained her very positive outlook that she has on life. You would be proud to meet her and see how strong she is. Johnny has organised the children, home and work as well as visiting Edith in hospital daily. As you can imagine this can take it toll on most people, but Johnny is coping well.

Sydney Toy Run co-coordinator Linda Nicastri is excited about the new format for the 24th Annual Sydney Toy Run

Bikers Australia has put the Sydney Toy Run together for many years.. with Motorcyclists from all walks of life riding on masse to hand over thousands of toys and gifts for needy children to the Salvation Army Christmas Appeal.

"This year we a very keen to put the event in front of more people to gain greater recognition for the cause.

Sunday December 12th will see thousands of motorcycles gather in Hickson Road in the city just near the Spirit of Tasmania dock and leave at 10.30am.. crossing the Anzac Bridge on their decorated bikes and riding Victoria Road to James Ruse Drive and into Grand Avenue at Rosehill arriving at Parramatta City Raceway.. we encourage everyone to join in or watch the ride go by" says Linda secretary of Bikers Australia "with the help of Parramatta Showground Trust, Parramatta City Raceway and sponsors for raffle prizes and printing.. this year promises to be huge!"

Major Mark Campbell of the Salvation Army said today, "Christmas is a special time, however it is also a time of added pressure which can place significant strain on families and individuals. Addiction and the ongoing affects of the drought continue to put pressure on Salvation Army resources. This Christmas The Salvation Army estimates assisting over 300,000 people providing 150 hampers and distributing 250,000 toys. We greatly appreciate the support of motorcyclists in helping the Salvos bring light to someone's life this Christmas".

"Parramatta City Raceway is proud to be involved in this years Sydney Motorcycle Toy run as the destination venue" said PCR Managing Director Steven Green. "PCR is a fun family friendly venue and to be able to support underprivileged families through the combined efforts of the Toy Run and the Salvation Army makes perfect sense to us. I know Linda and her team intend on having some great entertainment which should make the day a lot of fun"

Hi everyone, just thought we would drop you a line. We Steve (Parko) and Ruth own the Star Motel at Coffs Harbour , we are members of the American Motorcycle Club Coffs Harbour and may have met many of you on some runs. Our Motel is situated on the South side of Coffs Harbour about 1Klm from the City Centre and we have 28 rooms ranging from rooms that sleep 1 to rooms that sleep 14. Many bikers stay with us as we offer secure bike lock up, excellent bar and bistro (meals very large and drinks cheap) as well as discounted rates for our rooms to club members (various clubs).

Because we both ride ( Steve Harley Road King and Ruth Sporty), we know there is nothing better than pulling up at a pub or motel and being made feel welcome, with no worries about our bikes and good company, food and drinks oh yeah and some sleep at a great price.

Attached is photo of us at AMC Central Coast Poker Run 04 from your website Parko in front, Ruth third.

l am Jozo .l am coming before 1.5 month in Croatia (europa). l have big expirience about make and fix motorcycles .l send my works and l looking for job in sydney or newcastle .l am mechanic ,electric,electronic and welding (all kind welding)

We are glad to have your valuable support for all these years. As always, we will have some new models introduced during the peak season. This time we will take a look at 4 new models.

The first model is a new off road gas scooter. There has not been any interesting model of gas scooter on the market for a while, but our F26 will give the market the surprise it needs. This scooter is meant for the rugged path and even the styling has the "dirt bike" looks. With front conventional shocks and a rear suspension, this scooter will go over any bump with ease and the ride will be smooth. With a 49cc engine, it will zip through the whole neighbor or the track easily.

The next three models are all categorized under mini choppers. The first, which is the smallest, is the F28. It is a tiny mini chopper with a lot of Harley feel. Great for the kids or even the kids at heart! The full chrome frame and high gloss painting makes it the best classic little mini chopper available. The next model is F30, a mid size chopper. It has a long front fork with springs giving it the most comfortable ride and a touch of class. The size is right for a kid or even an adult.

The last is the crowning glory of our hard work during this period of development. The F32 is a full size chopper with a length of 1.98 meters. Powered by a 198cc engine, it will go up to 75 km/h easily and the feel of wind in your hair. Wide rear tire and unorthodox new style front and rear fender make this model the best-looking chopper around. We are sure this will be the best selling model in no time.

We offer our customers good after sales service by giving 2% free parts for the order, 3 months guarantee for the driving systems for all the items. This is not easy for many other manufacturers. We are very confident about our quality.

Kindly have a look at these models carefully and consider adding them to your product line. Should you need more information, please contact me. Thank you very much!
