Club Bultaco Australia 2013 Spanish Motorcycle Rally

[jas150]

The 15th annual Club Bultaco Australia rally will be held on the 23-24 November 2013, it is open to Spanish motorcycles only so dust off those Bultacos, Ossas, Montesas, Gas Gas etc. and come along for a friendly family oriented event at the 1500 acre property "Rivervale", bordered by the Shoalhaven River, NSW, one and a quarter hours drive East from Canberra. To get there turn North up Larbert Road from the King's Highway (approx. 10Km West of Braidwood or 3km East of the Warri Bridge over the Shoalhaven River) and drive 8 km to the rally site.
Entry to the rally is free but a ride fee of $20 for the weekend per rider applies, to be paid to the property owner. Most entrants turn up on Friday to make it a long weekend.
BYO everything, there are unlimited free camping sites, a bush loo, washing / swimming is in the river. Fishing too if you want to throw in a line.
There is no racing or trophies, just friendly trail rides or for the more adventurous there are several moto-x tracks, an enduro loop and challenging sections for trials bikes. There will even be a ride to the local pub if enough road registered bikes turn up. A Gymkhana may also be held if there is enough interest. At night sit around the campfire & tell a few lies about your riding exploits, washed down by your favourite brew with other Spanish motorcycle enthusiasts.
For more information ring John on (02)62916446.

So who's going this year? I'll rearrange my sock draw the weekend before so I will not miss out. I'll be there on Friday ready for another annual weekend of fun and merriment.

I'm sure that as Firko is a former Annandale Leichhardt member he would know that back in the day the high flying Willoughby club was known as the "tea and bikkies club. We travelled fully catered with a Temprite setup and a keg.

They eventually turned and saw it our way,we were a very attractive option for club days. It's not politically or legally correct now but back then was a different story.

Absolutely, no nancy boy Iced Vo Vo's for us. One of the club members had an Inter or Dodge Panel van outfitted with temprite and a couple of taps connected to one or two kegs, depending on the occasion. I can't recall the blokes name but he had a daughter who'd been brain damaged in a car accident who helped out with the post race beer pouring. Annandale Leichardt put on a keg after every club meeting and I can remember still being in the Amaroo pits at 10pm, pissed and having to get to Maroubra 90 minutes away and then unload the bikes and hit the sack to get up at 5am to go to work. Club president Bob Stansfield ran that club like a slick military unit. They were great days.

Max was the club treasurer but what was really handy,the fact that he had a business as a self employed refrigeration mechanic. After the races,buy a bunch of el cheapo type raffle tickets at 20 cents each, to get a beer. The visitors soon warmed to the idea.

Three way club days were the go, no one ever refused , MX at Bilpin,Amaroo, road racing Amaroo, short circuit(flattrack) at Amaroo and Arcadia.
The races were one thing but the trailer races home were something else.


All my mates still talk about those days.I know it's not correct now but deep down it was the Aussie larrikin in us all and times were different.
