Wingnut
The Lady Bandit with our Leader Stephen Dearnley, the man that said in 1983 "what is there for the over 40 motorcyclist?" so he founded the Ulysses club in Sydney Australia, the membership numbers are over 40.000 How lucky are we; The motto: 'Grow old discracefully'. this is just an experiment to load a picture on the site but this is our founder with Lady Bandit, all 40.000 are not with us anymore but they had a second life thanks to this man. Be lucky
The weather
Due to the excessive rain in South East Queensland the machines have not moved in ten days, why get soaked if you don't have to? Coopz is planning a photo shoot when the weather backs off, Wing and camper trailer an we hope to put some more info on line, He is Coopz, I am Coopzzzz and my othe son is Coopzz, not very original but we like it. The big trip will take place next year after much practice with the machinery plus G.P.S. & laptop, yet to be aquired, it will be solo (at the moment) but Lady Bandit has a meal itinery for dry meals, some frozen and fresh; never been camping in my life but at 64 still time to learn, I tried sky diving at 61, landed O.K.!!. Will write a story plus lotza photos on the way round and as my son says it could be very interesting. I think I am 28, don't know who the old man in the mirror is, Dorian Gray maybe?. Be Lucky Bandit, A.K.A. Coopzzzz.

Still learning
Started Wing today after accident, runs nice, needs a clean from Maryborough; the Bandit is STILL the toy, what a fang machine. If anyone out there is looking for value for $$$$$$$ the Suzuki Bandit is the mark, but the Rolls Royce IZ Honda Gold Wing, what a machine. Call me lucky.

Learning
My 1200 Bandit is now the size of a 250, handles the same after the Wing. my broken toe is healing real well and the next part of the adventure is to fit up camper trailer, then tow it. Had visits from son who made site and lady from Victoria, motor cycle rider also, sounds very nice person. I am still practicing with site and machines, who ever thought a 1200/4 would be 'small'? I have a long way to go before the trip, but remember "every journey starts with 'engage 1st. gear' and we pass this way but once. To my sons "TA, I am spending your inheritance, U told me to, L.O.L."

Had probs with machine so took it to Honda, Springwood Qld. with the help of Paul Rugeery (spelling? ) they tested it and I should not ride like speedway machine; you do NOT back in a 350 kg. machin with A.B.S. was great weekend at Moree, met some top people from Bunderburg and very nice lady from Gold Coast, VERY attractive ( call me Lucky ). Next trip to Maryborough, Qld. 700 ks for Queens birthday long weekend, about 400 riders at party, I stayed in town but managed to fall under 350 kgs Wing on Saturday when rode off kerb I did not see at showground, got right boot under rear footrest, busted big toe, thanks to all who helped to lift machine and yet again others that did nothing! Rode to Rainbow Bay, 200 ks in very heavy rain, can now 'Fishtail' 1832cc flat 6 at 100 plus, bloke behind was impressed. I changed underwear.
