Aussie Motorcycle Clubs :- Oldest

[VMX247]

It would be interesting to know who would be the oldest rider still competing in m.c. sport with the longest running club, having continuous membership with that club.

Not sure if you'd count on the membership as the over 65 club members would probably be "Life Members" and don't belong to VMX only clubs.
Plenty of older riders in T&E and the Vinduro clubs though

Thanks! VMX247. I will not be racing probably till maybe the annual Charity meet at Nepean Aug '14 due to a couple of medical setbacks, A pinched nerve in the neck plus dramatic eye surgery in January. Damn! I'm only 76, I want to datch up to Ron Beaver, 83 and still goin' like a rocket!  By the way, those 40 plus year olds do get checked for Glaucoma! No history in my family till me!  cheers!

Old Bill Watson would have to come close wouldn't he?

   Cessnock Motorcycle Club helds its 90th Anniversary dinner last month. The club was started in 1923. They still compete every year for perpetual trophies that go back a long way.

The oldest rider still competing is probably Don Newell.  The club he is a member of Brisbane MCC have also been around for a while.  They were among the original clubs that made up ACU of Qld. There is a 75 year badge I'm got somewhere, so 100 years must be under 10 years away.

I think you'll find that Bill Watson from WA is a bit older than Don. I think Bill's 84 but Brian Watto will fill us in with the correct info or Col Metcher will know from his Super Senior files.

I think Don Newell has the longest continuous ACU licence, first got it at 15 and has held it every year since....so I was informed.

Thats one way to tell, provided L.C.Bs. can check records of comp. licences history, I fear that like a lot of other record keeping since everything is on computer now most hard copy stuff has been destroyed.
cheers pancho.

MQ tell me they have all the old records "somewhere??"
