PRESIDENTS REPORT
Eric highlighted issues that were discussed at
the Committee Meeting 17th February 2016
in Bob’s absence.
Richard was going to check the Key Regis-
ter to make sure those with keys to the
shed really needed them. The constitution rules say that only one Ma-
chine Examiner can be on the Committee so
Ray Buck has resigned to allow our new Ma-
chine Examiner Murray Rudler to take his
place. Ray is still a licenced examiner but ex-
aminations will now be done at Murray
Rudler’s premises in Boyanup.
The Act for The Proposed New Constitu-
tion comes into play on the 1st July 2016,
and we have 3 years after that date to
comply with the new rules.
Matt Cook has donated 2 new tyres for the
club trailer, and he will come down on Friday
afternoon and arrange to have them fitted in
time for the 2 Day Rally.
Nomination fees will need to be increased
for the 2 Day Rally from 2017 to cover the
cost of running the event.
It has been decided not to carry the wide
brimmed cloth hats anymore because of the
lack of demand for them.
The Cloth Badges and Metal Historic
Plates for bikes will also be discontinued,
but Glenda will keep a minimum of 25
stick on Historic Badges in stock for the
404 concessionally licenced bikes.
Eric also stressed the importance of including
Back-up drivers and their mobile phone num-
bers to route sheets in case of any accidents
or breakdowns.
CAPTAINS REPORT
Midweek PM Ride 10-2-2016.
Due to heatwave conditions it was unani-
mously agreed to cancel this ride.
Examination Day 14-2-2016
Everything running ok until it was discov-
ered there were NO SAUSAGES for the sau-
sage sizzle and here we were with rolls, but-ter, sauce and onions. Unfortunately a mix-up at butchers left the Club minus their or-der, never fear though, our fearless secre-tary saved the day by going to the Super-market for some so Bob M. was able to practice being “MasterChef” of the day.

Busselton Midweek AM 17-2-2016
26 Riders 4 Passengers
Brian Green organised todays ride to Tathra
Winery Nannup for morning tea. Group from
Bunbury meet up with Busso's at the intersec-
tion of Vasse Hwy & Ludlow/Hithergreen Rd
whereupon we all headed for Nannup led by
Brian. Turning into Nannup/Balingup Rd we
travelled up hill and down dale on winding
road to reach winery where a fantastic morn-
ing tea of fresh brewed coffee and tea with
scones direct from the oven with jam &
cream was served in beautiful surroundings
complete with grazing kangaroos.
Originally Darryl & Brian planned to contin-
ue onto Balingup but winery owner advised
roadworks in progress so majority of group
decided to return the same way as we came.
Ross & Faye C. Kay P. and Dave L. travelled
to Balingup which Dave advises had a lot of
“Lucky” stones on edge of road “Lucky you
didn't fall off” John & I travelled via
Cundinup Rd to Kirup. Great ride and venue
thanks to Brian and winery owners for mak-
ing ride & morning tea possible.
It transcribed later that 2 Busso's had missed
the winery and ended up in Balingup, also
Diesel Dick was coming to show off his
“new” bike which unfortunately had a flat
battery that morning.
Midweek AM 24-2-2016
18 Riders 1 Passenger
I planned todays ride to Bridgetown even
knowing roadworks at Donnybrook, with
Muriel M. & Margaret G. we departed at
0830 giving us plenty of time to reach desti-
nation and prepare morning tea WRONG.
We were still sitting at the roadworks at 0930
expecting the bikes to pass us, eventually got
our turn only to encounter 2 more sets of
roadworks before Bridgetown and horror of
horrors on the actual Blackwood River
Bridge.
Finally reached our meeting spot beside the
river where Doug from Manjimup was al-
ready waiting, to save time we set up urn etc.
in the carpark. Busso boys arrived about 5
minutes later followed by Bunbury group, in-
cluding “Diesel Dick” this time, who had had
a better run than us. Thanks to everyone who
didn’t mind waiting a bit for hot water and
special thanks to Muriel & Margaret who I
couldn't have managed without.
Two Day Busy Bee 5-3-2016
Thanks to willing helpers who turned up for
the busy bee. Unfortunately, I was too busy to
do a headcount but we think there were about
20 members who participated in the clean-up.
The whole operation was finished by 0930,
time for tea, coffee and chinwag for another
hour.
PLEASE NOTE
There appears to be a bit of consternation and
confusion following discussion at the Febru-
ary Meeting regarding PM Midweek rides. I
was decided that in the months of JANUARY
& FEBRUARY, the hottest months, the Mid-
week PM Ride will become an AM ride. This
will not come into effect until 2017

LICENSING LIAISON OFFICERS RE-
PORT
Jeff said a total of 230 bikes have been exam-
ined but there are still 135 outstanding,
which are now in breach of the constitution.
Helmets
If you are thinking of buying a new crash
helmet, then be aware that on 27th November
2015, the Commonwealth Minister for Small
Business and Assistant Treasurer, the Hon
Kelly O’Dwyer, revoked the safety standard
for protective helmets for motor cyclists.
This has removed the requirement for all hel-
mets to have the 1698 Australian Standard
certificate before they can be sold or used in
Australia. The new requirement is the EU 22-
05 standard.
If you look inside on the strap it will have a
circle E1 or other E number (I have a helmet
that is approved by MA for racing that has E4
on the chin strap). Some States have already
mandated the use of these helmets on the
road so I suggest you check if you State is up
to date, at present QLD does allow their use.
I was recently in a Melbourne motorcycle
dealership that was having a sale on helmets,
and when I enquired about this I was told that
because of the Federal Law change it is pos-
sible to import and use a helmet from Europe
for a lot less than previously possible.
So if you want a new helmet check first and
you could save yourself a lot of money.
The ongoing saga of the over 85 Age Debate
still continues to grow moss. We have a
stronger support from Labour Ministers than
we do from the Liberal Ministers, and they
are all saying if you don’t like what is going
on change the Government.
It is not the law that we have to change it is
the policy, and with enough pressure the
Minister for Transport could change that at
the drop of a hat. Sally Talbot the Shadow
minister for Police is showing her support,
and she has directed her policy staff to look
at the legality of it and why Mr Nalder is not
doing anything about it.
Motorcycle owners have an advantage over
car owners with the Concession 404 Legisla-
tion, because car owners are unable to get
their vehicles licenced until the Legislation is
changed. Car owners have been waiting since
2011 for the Legislation to change.
Jeff has had notification from the CMC that
Clubs have to advise the CMC of any un-
financial members, and he now has the sad
duty of reporting 4 of our members who have
let their, membership’s lapse.
WEBSITE MANAGER REPORT
There is now an Incident Report Form availa-
ble on the documents page of the website.
This form is used to report any accidents or
incidents that occur during a club event. The
documents page also includes other forms
and documents that can be used by club
members as well as back issues of Classic
Vibrations and magazines from other motor-
cycle clubs.
GENERAL BUSINESS
Jack Lewis said although the Mandurah Me-
ander was down on numbers this year those
who attended had a really good weekend, and
those who didn’t attend missed out.
7
Mandurah members appreciated the support
from the Bunbury members who attended.
Saturday the run went along the coast to fin-
ish at Fairbridge Farm for a night of fine
food, beverage, and frivolity.
On Sunday after a beautiful breakfast of ba-
con and eggs prepared by Alan and the boys
we meandered back along the scenic estuary
route and called in at a Premier Holden Car
Display along Pinjarra Road, and then to
Macca’s to see his collection of motorcycles
and had a beautiful morning tea. The Bun-
bury riders peeled off from there and made
their own way back to Bunbury.
On behalf of the Bunbury members who at-
tended thank you for a fantastic weekend, we
can’t wait till next year’s Meander.
Jack then introduced Clive Marwick who is a
new member from Mandurah. Clive has been
into motorbikes since he was about seven and
has owned and regrettably sold a lot of bikes
over the years. He now has a number of pro-
jects he is working on and hoping to have one
going for the Albany Hill Climb on 5th & 6th
November 2016.
Leith has contacted Neville Wilson to see
how he is going and apparently he is still
having trouble sitting down so is unable to
come to a meeting, but he is hoping he will
be able to manage to get to one in a couple of
months.
Terry Germain brought along a large Harley
Davidson hard cover book, and a carburettor
he is donating to be raffled at the 2 day Rally.
Terry still has route sheet holders available
for sale, if anyone needs them.
Glen Britza will open the gates of the Club at
8.00am Friday to let people in for the final
set up for the 2 Day Rally.
Clem Harvie has kindly offered to donate
an18kva generator which he will deliver at
3.00pm on Friday for the 2 Day Rally. The
hundred dollar note raffle was won by Paul
Whalen.
Ray Jordan auctioned a Leather Jacket which
was purchased by Terry Germain for $5.00.

HART FAMILY AT THE 2016 TWO DAY
RALLY.
The Hart family and friend Clint presented at
the 2016 Rally as Stormin’ Norman &
The Crusaders .Complete with Matching T
Shirts( Thanks to Stacey ) Norm had the
1936 Harley outfit, Fil Hart was to ride the
1956 B.S.A. C12 Clint rode Norm’s 1955
Matchless 3GL Ryan rode Norm’s 1942
Harley, Dave was on his 1967 B.S.A.
B40GA Ben rode Ryan’s Bridge-
stone Stacey rode her Bultaco Ken and Shak
rode on Ken’s 1951 B.S.A. Gold Flash.
Well things do not always go to plan. The ig-
nition key on the C12 broke Saturday morn-
ing so Fil was Navigator for Norm in the
Harley. The Harley broke down at Donny-
brook as the battery dropped a cell, so back
home again and out came the Ural outfit.
Sunday Stacey lost a front engine bolt on her
Bultaco. The clutch on the Bridgestone be-
came a little touchy. So a rearrangement of
bikes was called.
Norm and Fil rode in the Ural outfit. Stacey
changed to Ryan’s Yamaha 400 two stroke.
Ben changed to Ryan’s 1966 A65 B.S.A. The
Matchless, 1942 Harley WLA and the B.S.A.
Gold Flash proved as reliable as ever. The
A65 also ran well.
The 1967 B.S.A B40GA model had been re-
trieved from the eastern States to Ryan’s
house where Ryan and his Father in law Ste-
ve Turner checked it over and generally pre-
pared the bike for the rally and YES it ran
like clockwork also.
9
Some of the bikes had not been in a run for
some 6 years. The whole family enjoyed the
weekend and are still in the clouds, breakdown
oil leaks, adjusting clutches and what ever.
Fil has now obtained a 1972 Honda CL175E to
ride in future rallies. At the end of the day we
had to return Ben to Perth for University. Ken
had to go back to Noosa. Shak to Perth Ryan
flew out to Port Hedland and Dave and Fil re-
turned to Broome, Stacey, Norm and Clint
stayed in the area. Margaret missed the ride
this year but was at the club on Sunday. She is
recovering from surgery .
Regards to all.
