Vale : Barry Young

16 Jul

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.

There is a memorial service at 10:30am Thursday 31st July at Partridge House, Partridge St, Glenelg.

Monthly Ride, Mannum

3 Jun
14 bikes turned up at Hawthorn Crescent, 10 o’clock started us up Greenhill Rd, to Balhannah, Littlehampton and Nairne, where we stopped at the public loos for a few minutes. Then down the Old Murray Bridge Rd, to the Monarto, turn off, through Monarto, to the Mannum Rd, turning right at Adelaide Rd, and onto Mannum, a right turn on Neil St, and we were at the museum.
 
 
 
None of us had been to the museum at Mannum before, but a few had visited when it was at Peterborough. It is a splendid display of mostly smaller bikes many we had never heard of, but some well known makes as well. A 50cc Ducati, was a bit of a surprise!
 
A bit after 12 we mounted up and rode to the Mannum Community Club for lunch. The club was very welcoming, the meals excellent and the prices affordable.
 
It required a little prodding to get the guys back on their bikes, but by 1:45pm we were on the road again riding to Walker Flat where one of us filled up, then straight to Mount Pleasant, where we split up.
 
A very enjoyable ride, we will definitely do it again!
Thanks to Louis for riding Tail End all day and to all the riders thanks for the company!
Next ride: Tuesday 4th June, Ray Hill will be leading us on a mystery ride leaving Hawthorn Crescent 10am.
