Oh, and I forgot, our club motto is: "Grow Old Disgracefully" and I'm working on it!!!!!!!!!!! :dancefool::sign woo hoo::dancefool::sign woo hoo::dancefool:

There were six thousand attending the rally in the pics. It can be any where between four and six thousand each year. It's here in Western Australia next year, and I volunteered to run the gearshop (sell Ulysses merchandise) for the week--so I will be "Frazzled Annie" after that!!:crackup:

Alan and I have been members of the Ulysses Club.org for twelve years now, and try to spend our annual holidays travelling to, and attending the Rally and AGM held every year in a different state of Australia. It's the largest club in the southern hemisphere (27,533 members in Australia), and has even gone international to about seven countries. The club runs on very similar lines to VR.org--that's probably why I feel so much at home here!! AND "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" It was started 26 years ago by three guys looking for somewhere to socialise and have comradeship in their senior years.(with their wives etc) Their days of "hooning" were over and they just wanted to ride and enjoy. So I thought I would show you a couple of pics of rallies and some of the silly things we do to raise money for charities. (mostly for children & arthritis research) Thats Alan as the "phantom" and also as a woman (YUK) on the "shockin' Frock Run" where the men had to dress female (riders pay $10 & pillion $5) then there is a "beauty contest":rasberry: A couple of years back I even shaved off my hair, while a friend went "blue" for Luekemia research. I'll do most anything for the kids!! :happy34: So now I belong to the two best "family" clubs in the world, it doesn't get any better than that!! :banana:

Guessed right-using lights on fenders. Can't lower back plate, it covers the outrider shocks, but fender lights are LED and bright. Also have light "farkle" around my number plate that flashes brakes and indicators:happy34: Have Krome Works pipes with turn-downs to go back on :banana:
-
Yes, it will be easier cause it will be like having a sidecar on either side!! Guess I'll get some looks with the elbow crutches on board. Going to make the holders sit between fenders and panniers (at 45 degrees) I also want to show people that just because you are disabled it doesn't mean you have to give up on everything!!

Dear Eck, where would we all be without you :puzzled::puzzled: Ta muchly Eck
