Z1 40th anniversary Rally at Riddells Creek. 

 

Commemorating the 40 years since the intro of the 900...for which we, the Macedon Ranges Ulysses Group has a connection (sort of), as it was almost outside Judith Gilles home (former Member of our Group), that the final crash scene was filmed in the first Mad Max.

 

This rally will feature replica machines from both Mad Max and Stone not to mention many other bikes including a 1969 Triumph Trident if Dickie can get it finished in time...also if any one has ANY machine from the 70's or period Kwackas then you's be welcome for the whole rally (if interested), or come along just on the Saturday...have it on good authority that the organisers are going to a bit of trouble for this one.  Details.

Memorial Ride for Luke Wilson: 10:30 for 10:45 departure from Sunbury Maccas, Ride Leader John Eacott

 

Luke Wilson was a local motorcyclist who died when a station wagon did a U-turn in front of him on the Black Forest Drive, in the fog, crossing double white lines.  To assist in closure for his family, and particularly his mother Maureen, MRAV has organised a memorial tree planting at the Woodend Golf Club at 12 noon.  We have agreed to organise the ride on Luke's Birthday and will ride past the location of his demise on the way to Woodend.

 

Volunteers from our club to assist with corner marking on this public ride are needed: please contact John Eacott (0428 383826) or Gary Fawcus (0439 425 516) if you are willing to help.
