25.01.2022 The laws of motorcycling Counter Steering: If you push the left bar, the bike goes left. If you push the right bar, the bike goes right.... That is, unless you keep pushing the right bar all the way, then you will probably go left while the bike swaps ends. Crashing: Remember riding isn't inherently dangerous... crashing is. Fuel: The ONLY time you have too much fuel is when you're on fire. The Rear Wheel: The rear wheel is just a big fan used to keep the rider cool and his butt relaxed. If in doubt... watch. When it locks up or slides out you can actually see the rider start sweating and pucker marks appear on the seat. Rides: A 'good' ride is one you can walk away from. A 'great' ride is one you can walk away from and use the bike again. Getting Hit: They can't hit you if you're not there. Mistakes: Learn from the mistakes of others. You won't live long enough to make all of them yourself. Traction: When traction is sparse, the probability of survival is inversely proportional to the angle of lean. Large angle of lean, small probability of survival and vice versa. Your Brain: Never let a motorcycle take you somewhere your brain didn't go five seconds earlier. Fog: Stay out of fog. The single red taillight you think is another rider ahead that you can catch, might be the red starboard light of a docked boat. Parking: Always try to keep the number of times you park the bike equal to the number of times you've ridden it. Luck & Experience: You start with a bag full of luck and an empty bag of experience. The trick is to fill the bag of experience before you empty the bag of luck Mirrors: If all you can see in your mirrors is the direction you were previously traveling intermingled with sparks, things are not at all as they should be. See also: Going forward. Other Objects: In the ongoing battle between objects made of metal, rubber and plastic going dozens of miles per hour, and the ground going zero miles per hour, the ground has yet to lose. Same holds for cars, trucks, walls and most animals. Judgment: Good judgment comes from experience. Unfortunately, experience usually comes from bad judgment. Going Forward: It's always a good idea to keep the headlight end going forward as much as possible. Looking: Keep looking around. There's always something you've missed. Laws: Remember, gravity and centrifugal force are not just good ideas. They're laws not subject to repeal.

21.01.2022 Sunday 13th September 2020. Ulysses Tamworth Motorbike Club met up at the BP Viaduct for a chat, cuppa and then headed off for a lunch ride to Walcha Road Hotel via Kentucky, eighteen of us, 10 bikes, 1 car. The Walcha Road Hotel is full of history and is a good place for a break. A lovely spring day with wonderful friends, great food and excellent hospitality, an enjoyable day’s ride.

13.01.2022 Wednesday 9th September 2020. Good evening Ulysses Tamworth members. A beautiful spring day was the perfect send off to farewell one of our most dearest members today, Di Fenner at the Lincoln Grove Memorial Gardens. A very sad and emotional day to say goodbye and pay tribute with some wonderful stories by her partner Jan, her family and her dearest friends. A wonderful and happy woman with a sense of humour, there was never a dull moment with Di. Yes you found happiness with... a gentleman named Jan Hystek, you both fell in love, with many rides you have had together. I’m sure Di would have loved the beautiful send off by all and she will be missed dearly. With all our love we say goodbye Di, you have enriched us all with your wit and charm.
