Guest Harold Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 wow, when i posted the thread i had no idea we had so many members that love two wheels just like it do. Once you have ridden a sports bike you realise there are vey few fast cars in the world. I am a long time member of the Ulysses club, any other members here? Stay safe and may your lid never skid.

I thought that I remembered that the Ulysses club was for old Farts, It seems my memory was skewed as I see they are actually letting young whippersnappers of just 40 years of age in.Do they have a seniors discount?

JAX57 Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 I can't go past my 2011 BMW R1200GS (twin air cooled boxer) that and my '78 Targa. It doesn't get much better than this Yep and a Ulysses member as well, its worth becoming a member if just for the discount on insurance alone.

Mike D'Silva Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 Wow.. so many very cool bikes.. I'm not surprised in the least. It seems that Porsche owners make tasteful mcycle owners too.. Here is my Sport 1000.. And here is my gt1000 And finally, here is my 1978 CB400T that started life last year in a box of bits.. took it apart and complete rebuilt it.. it's off to a new home tomorrow.

It is really for old farts but at 40 someone can become an associate member. Full membership at 50. It really is a great place for older people that love to ride. There are many people I know who are 70 plus whose life would be empty without the friendship and activities promoted by the club. Consider we get circa 4,500 bikes at our AGM's every year regardless of where it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just ordered the new water cooled R1200RT which should be delivered sometime next week. If you do the first aid course, advanced rider course then the discounts you get mean you have just saved the cost of three years of membership. It is a bargain in any language. Which club are you attached to? I mix with both the northern beaches and Hornsby clubs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben C3.o Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 Some very nice bike guys. I've only had the one bike, a 2006 R6 which I bought in 2008 to learn to ride on. I sold it last year as it just wasn't being used. The plan was to upgrade to an R1 then eventually a Ducati but I got bitten by the Porsche bug and prefer 4 wheels to two now days. Learnt the hard way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

teknostar Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 I recently bought a BMW G650 GS Sertao as my first road bike. I am learning at the moment, and it is keeping me from upgrading my 997 which is a good thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9er Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 Being over 50 I needed a cruiser, it makes me ride more safely than my Ducatis used to. Still has 120HP though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JAX57 Posted 6May, 2014 Report Share Posted 6May, 2014 I usually ride with the Thursday group which is a mixture of all Sydney chapters. The rides are usually long and hard. Only one or two Harleys in this group as they can't keep up I used to go to the Northern Beaches meetings but its a bit out of the way for me...

FlatSix Posted 7May, 2014 Report Share Posted 7May, 2014 Own a Harley, have not ridden it once since I got the 911. I cant bring myself to sell it though I put a lot of time into it. Would love a Ducati but always thought I would kill myself on one. I seem to handle 4 wheels better than 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
