Ride to Greenock, Sunday 27 July
Following the forecast for inclement weather, this Sunday’s visit to Greenock Aviation Museum is still on, but the Club Captain has advised that members should gather their family and friends and travel to the museum by car.
Vale : Barry Young
It was with great sadness to learn that club stalwart and all round great guy Barry Young passed away this morning. Barry, a life member, joined the club in 2006. He served as Vice-President 2019-20 and 2022-23, Social Secretary 2007-12 and 2014-20, more recently Barry was one of our Assistant Registrars serving in that role for at least the past 5 years. He was also voted the Club Member of the Year in 2016.
Barry used to enjoy restoring bikes – the most recent being an Excelsior Autobyk. I also remember a Triumph Tiger Cub and a BSA Bantam, which he showed at Classics At Hart recently, as well as a 650cc Triumph.
To say that Barry will be missed is a huge under statement. Barry was always keen to help out whenever he was needed. He made the motorcycle themed table decorations for our club dinners and possessed more than handy carpentry skills knocking up various props for our bike shows at Harts Mill.
Our sincere condolences go to his wife Irene and family. Details for funeral arrangements to follow, as soon as I hear more news.

Midweek Ride, 24th May
At 10am, 14 bikes left Hawthorn Crescent and followed Tony Mitchell, up Greenhill Rd, turning left at Swamp Rd, then Lobethal Rd, Tiers Rd, right turn in Woodside, on to Ambleside Rd, a zig zag in Hahndorf, took us to River Rd, and Echunga, where we stopped for a delicious morning Cuppa, at the Plough Cafe, a first time for the club rides, but not the last.
Morning break over we set out for Macclesfield, via Flaxley and Stamps Rd, then to Meadows, with a hard left turn onto Bull Creek Rd, right at Alexandrina Rd, left at Winery Rd, onto Finniss, Clayton and the Milang Bakery, where the remaining 7 riders had a relaxed and enjoyable lunch.
The ride more or less broke up in Milang, though most riders followed Tony to Strath and Meadows.
It was a particularly enjoyable ride, the traffic was light, the weather spectacular and Tony chose some memorable roads for us.
Thanks Tony! And thanks to all who rode with us!
Next ride: Sunday 1st June, leaving Hawthorn Crescent 10 sharp for River Ride Motorcycle Museum followed by lunch a the Mannum Community Club.
Be there or we will talk about you!
