motorcycle club - vic

Looking for a motorcycle club in vic, preferably around the inner-city area.

avee

 

Hiya avee.
Some background on yourself & what you ride will help.

 

Are you old enough............ to join the Ulysses.....40+

 

Have been riding for close to 9 years. My riding consists of daily commuting
and the occasional Saturday morning trips to Elizabeth street for a latte,
and a look of the new stuff in the bike world.
Family and work commitments have made it hard to get away for a Sunday ride
but circumstances have changed, and now I can set aside some time and
minggle with other folk that share the same passion.

My current ride is a vfr750 and enjoy spirited riding. Other than the yearly
pilgrimage trip to the GP, I havent toured much lately, probably waiting for
the kids to grow a bit so that the missus and I can once again get back into
touring scene

What I expect from a club is what I am prepared to put into it. I can
organise meetings, bbq's and rides and contribute as much as the next
person.

Have I narrowed it down a bit?

Thanks avee.
I can't help you much with smaller clubs, But i'm a member of HRCA &
i've been on rides with MRAA, They're located in Ross st Sth Melb.
I'm in the same boat as you family wise at the moment, So I have'nt done
alot of riding lately. Althouhg I do do the GP & World Supers pilgrimage
each Yr.
Hope this has been some help.

There is a BMW club that is I think inner-city. They do rides,
workshops and similar things. Checkout southbank BMW for more details.

I don't know if you need a BMW to join to I guess it would make sense.

Melbourne, tellem lushy sent ya.

Smee's first day in the Ulysses club...

Smee: "Alright, I think this is some interesting shit. But one
thing first, you recognized my skills, you chose me, so
I don't want no one callin' me sport, kid, or anything
like that. You got me?"

UC: "Okay, slick."

Or snobby enough.

A mate and his missus, both over 40 rocked up to the local chapter one
Saturday morning for coffee and a ride with the locals. They were
shunned. Apparently sports bikes (CBR600 and R1) are not welcome.

 

Or sufficiently fluoro-dressed. On the one ride of theirs I joined, my
pillion and I were roundly ignored, until some bright spark sought to chide
me for wearing black, and riding a black bike! "You're invisible!" I
suppose that's why they didn't say g'day. You're blind, fuckwit.

If it was a "chapter" (sic), they were probably at a HOGS do.

Were they shunned, or did they roll up, stand on their own, and wait for
someone to come and engage them in conversation?

I've been to dozens of different Ulysses meeting-points and never been
"shunned", regardless of what I was riding, but then I always introduced
myself to the nearest person and asked who was organising the ride.

 

Some of you people must live in a parallel universe. I'm not particularly
sociable, and I'm barely presentable, but I'm fucked if I've ever been in a
situation where I felt shunned or ignored at a Ulysses ride.

 

They're not in a parallel universe. They're the ones you shun on ulysses
rides.
