Hi WAM members! As this is the first WAM magazine of 2014, I’ll wish you all
a belated Happy New Year!
Didn’t the WAM Christmas meal go down well at the December club night? With
over 50 people there it was a well attended event. I think everyone there enjoyed
the 3 course meal, and the best bit? No washing up to do at the end!! Thanks to
Dave S and Nina for organising, and keeping track of who ordered what.
OK, February is the BIG ONE for WAM; it’s our AGM. So put this into your
diaries and make an effort to turn up to put some input into your club. The date is
11th February 2014. Don’t forget that we are always looking for new faces to join
the group council. There are a few vacant positions this year, so if you think you
have a few hours a month to spare, your help would be most appreciated. After all
it is YOUR club!
Please note!! Inside this issue is the Membership renewal form. Please note the
change of Membership Secretary and therefore address!!
Thanks to all who have contributed articles to the WAM magazine. It makes my
life a bit easier, and the magazine a more interesting read. Thanks to Steve Lord
and Steve and Jackie Gibbs for their contributions!
And finally,
CONGRATULTIONS to
Tony Barber for passing
the IAM Test
Pete
Here are a couple of pix
from the December Christ-
mas meal.

night. In next months issue, as
well as the presentations made
to members on the night.

Motorcycle Live 2013
On Tuesday 26th November 2013, a full coach load of WAM members and guests
trekked down the M6 to Birmingham’s NEC to see this year’s Motorcycle Live.
Yamaha had a large area and focused
on the launch of their new MT-09
(exclusively reviewed in November’s
mag by Nina and Derek). Our roving
reporter Dave “Spotty” Spotswood
asks for more details from the Yama-
ha Sales Reps but it all turns sour
when he asks for a “test ride”!
The Honda stand drew large
crowds to see their new mod-
els plus the free coffee and
biscuits. We had to go back
twice to see the Honda range
again because we didn’t see it
all first time round! Also, Tim had to be peeled
off the Cross Tourer to let other punters have a
go!
A number of members shopped for bargains.
7
Bob shows Tim and Dave what
he has picked up. Meanwhile
Rob is considering the “Life
Raft” option for the official Ride
Out’s!
Spotty tries out for size KTM’s
new monster bike, the Super Duke
R…180 bhp and 189kg (dry)! This
image was taken just before Dave
did a wheelie and ended up on the
Triumph stand!
It was there that we bumped
into Jan and Geraint from
Dragon Motor Tours. Jan
was very impressed with the
new 1050 Sport…
sorry Geraint!
8
I’m considering the fur rug option
for my Tiger 800 as well. I did ask
about if there was a Tiger Skin op-
tion as well and that point, I was
asked to leave the stand!
All the other manufacturers had
good sized stands including BMW
who also had a section of bikes
representing their 90 year history
and there was much interest in the
new GS1200.
Chinese manufacturer WK also
had a large stand…one to watch in
the future perhaps?
I really enjoyed the day and it was
good opportunity to look at the
new bikes being launched this year
and pick up some accessory bar-
gains. Many organisations were
represented including Bike Safe
and Blood Bikes.
I was a bit disappointed not to see
IAM there and I was expecting the
show to be slightly bigger as well? Talking with other seasoned attendees, the
show is smaller than previous years…a sign of the times perhaps?
I’m pleased to report it was a trouble free journey both ways in a luxury coach
supplied from Cass of Wirral and
we sailed through the road works
on the M6 when we all feared the
worse. The biggest issue was find-
ing a place for the coach to park at
the NEC!
A big thank-you to Derek for
organising.
Steve Lord.

Wirral Advanced Motorcyclists &
HMRC Gift Aid scheme
WAM has been accepted by HMRC as a charitable Company. So what
does this mean for WAM? In a nutshell, it allows WAM to reclaim, from
HMRC, 25 pence for every £1 that a UK taxpayer pays to WAM by way
of their membership subscription or certain other donations. Put simply,
on a membership subscription of £20, WAM can reclaim £5 from HMRC.
There is a simplified explanation of the effects upon, and responsibilities
to, the taxpayer once you read the Gift Aid declaration, on the website
links below:-
More information about the Gift Aid scheme can be found on the HMRC
website at www.hmrc.gov.uk/charities/gift_aid/basics.htm
What does WAM ask of you?
Well it's simple - to support your club if you can, by agreeing to allow
WAM to reclaim Gift Aid from the tax that you have already paid to
HMRC; at no cost to you! There is a form on the WAM website
www.w-a-m.co.uk/giftaid.html
www.w-a-m.co.uk/resources/Gift Aid Declaration for Past Present
and Future.pdf
If you are able and willing to provide a signed Gift Aid declaration that
you do so by printing off, completing and either personally handing to
Rob D'Cruze or posting it to him at:
34 Myers Road East
Crosby
Liverpool
L23 0QZ
If anyone has any questions or concerns, please speak to Rob when you
see him or on 0151 928 6290.

STEVE AND JACKIE’S TRIP TO CROATIA AND ITALY
We have never been active members of WAM, joining 2 years ago after moving to
Frodsham due to family commitments. We were both members of SLAM where
Steve participated in Observing IAM courses for 6 years. Steve had full intentions
of continuing his Observing duties but has found the travelling back to work and
other family necessities time consuming, leaving no time to commit to observing.
So we enjoy and support the social side of WAM, hangers-on really.
We had been on a few European tours with SLAM members in the past and thor-
oughly enjoyed them and felt that with the move to Frodsham, we wouldn’t ever
do another. But in November 2012 an e-mail arrived from Pino and Jane proffer-
ing a trip to Dubrovnik and Sorrento, - we quickly changed our minds! Both are
places we’d always wanted to go to, and this trip had the Dalmatian Coast Road
and Amalfi Coast thrown in!
So at the beginning of September, off we went with Pino and Jane and John and
Cath for a 20 day, 3200 mile trip. We took the ferry to Rotterdam, then 6 days to
get to Dubrovnik via Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovenia, Croatia and a tinsy bit
of Bosnia that, when you get a larger scale map, can be seen to divide Croatia in
two. Then we crossed by ferry to Bari in Italy, rode across to Sorrento, and then
worked our way up to Lake Garda and Bolzano. There we put the bikes on the
Autozug train for a nice kip on the way to Dusseldorf, and thence the ferry back to
Hull. Jackie’s GSXR 1000
(Gixxer) had a clogged air filter by
the time we got home, while Ste-
ve’s Triumph Tiger 1050 (The
Tiger), Pino’s FJR (two-up) and
John’s 1200GS Adventure (two-up)
were ready for another round.
Holland
On disembarking at Europort, all
the riders were breathalysed at
passport control (not the car driv-
ers!) I don’t know if they thought
we’d been drinking more than the
car drivers, AND we had our IAM
badges proudly displayed. How
dare they! A grey Holland seemed
like one large motorway inter-
change, and was swiftly dispatched,
pausing only for the best cherry pie
14
ever at our first stop. On the way back, Holland seemed a lot nicer, as we made
our way by back roads as close to the Rhine as we could get, sometimes on the top
of the dyke.
Germany
We entered Germany in torrential rain. Luckily, two periods of a couple of hours
were all the rain we had on the trip. This batch kindly stopped just as we got to
Bonn and made our way down the Rhine, with our first wursten at Konigswinter.
After an overnight at Koblenz, we continued alongside the Rhine – incredibly
impressive, with its huge volume of water, busy shipping and fairy-tale castles
perched on sheer crags. The good road and light traffic allowed us to appreciate it.
As a bonus on the way back in the autozug, we opened our train compartment
curtains at first light to find we were back alongside this same stretch of stretch of
the Rhine, giving a different and more leisurely perspective, as we ate our break-
fast on the train unencumbered by protective clothing. Leaving the Rhine, we
entered the Odenwald. This was great, hilly, twisty biking country and, it being
Sunday, we were not alone! Then we followed the Neckar River (with our most
expensive lunch of the trip, Red Deer casserole at Burg Hornberg). Then on into
another hilly bit, the Frankischer Wald, before arriving at the interesting little
town of Nordlingen, where stork’s nests on the roof hinted that we were moving
southwards.
Austria
Next day we entered Austria, and suddenly there were ski-resorts and waitresses
in Bavarian costumes. After a couple of lower Alpine passes for practice, we went
over the mighty Grossglockner (or Gloss Nocker, as the Hairy Bikers recently had
it). For Pino and John, this was third time lucky: the Bikers Point at the top was
clear and we got great views even though some of the higher peaks were in cloud.
On the way home, some German bikers told us they failed to cross a few days
15
after us, as it was closed by snow.
Slovenia
After our overnight at Dollach, we crossed a few more low passes and followed
the valleys of the Drau and Gail. It was a truly stunning morning, with fantastic
mountain scenery and good roads. By lunchtime the temperature was over 300C,
and pretty much stayed there for the next 10 days. We crossed the Wurzen Pass
into Slovenia, and then over the very nadgery, 50-hairpin Vrsic Pass into the val-
ley of the Soca river. There was a big gathering of Harleys in the area (Pino
thought this was an annual meet at Villach) and we were overtaken on the hairpins
by Harleys with both male and female riders! Some had Austrian number plates
and “Big Mountain Chapter” patches, so we can only blame their passing us on
them having lots of practice, as we all know Harleys can’t brake or handle! The
Soca Valley was a brilliant sweeping road with little traffic and fantastic mountain
views. A lot of the riders we met were on circular routes through here and then
back via Italy into Austria again. This day was for us the best biking of the trip. It
was topped off with a stay in the old town of Ljubljana and the best veal fillets of
the trip. Do we seem to be mentioning food a lot here? It certainly was a major
feature of the trip. Passing through so many countries, we felt obliged to sample
the local cuisine and wines as much as possible!
Croatia
Crossing to Croatia the next day, we hit the Dalmatian Coast Road at Rijeke. The
views, out to sea, down onto the beaches and inland to the towering limestone
peaks were stunning. The road, however, was pretty busy. Multiple roadworks
ensured that the traffic travelled in tight bunches, and there were many tourist
coaches and campervans. Why do old people feel obliged to buy these things and
drive them along the
world’s most beautiful
roads at 25mph? In
addition, someone had
gone mad with the
Euro traffic manual in
one hand and white
paint in the other (they
joined the EU only in
July). Any stretch of
road that was not dead
straight had a solid
white line, and any
junction, even for a dirt
track in a field, had a
reduced speed limit.
Dubrovnick old town from top cable car station
16
We found ourselves starting to envy the sunbathers and the yachties! We took the
ferry across to Pag Island, where the traffic was much lighter, the views to the
mainland fantastic, and we got another nice boat trip on the way! That night’s
hotel was by the sea, so a first swim in the Adriatic, and the trip’s best fish dinner
(and, Jackie maintains, the best fish of her life!!)
Onwards to Dubrovnik, we passed through Bosnia uninsured and hence very care-
fully. You can’t get insurance for Bosnia in Britain, and there is much misinfor-
mation on the internet about this! The customs officials just waved us through. We
had a couple of days sightseeing in Dubrovnik. It has a brilliant old town and
coastal setting, with lots of adventure sports, as well as the culture. Folk around
our hotel seemed to be mostly Brits. We had a long wait for the night ferry to
Bari, and Jane and Cath spotted a supermarket from which they produced an im-
promptu picnic, as we watched the Italian navy lower the flag on their tall-ship
training vessel moored nearby.
The ferry to Bari was well described by John and Cath as “like a refugee ship” -
most of the passengers seemed to travel on deck, and were clustered wherever you
went, sleeping on any flat surface. We had (relatively) posh cabins.
Italy
We landed in Italy at 8am, and hit the road, heading south to Matera, within 20
miles of the sea at Italy’s “instep”. Then we headed into the mountains, with great
views of hills and reservoirs, and soon had our first encounter with road quality in
the mountains. Presumably due to the weather conditions, the road had formed
into waves, parallel with or diagonally across the road. In the most severe cases,
the road had cracked across the troughs of the waves. John decided that this im-
proved Jackie’s handling of the hairpins, as all her attention was on avoiding the
next divot!
The Amalfi Coast Road
We reached the other coast at Salerno early on Saturday afternoon, and it was in-
credibly busy and well over 30 degrees C. The local riders are not terribly patient
in traffic, and we were overtaken both by the Ducatisti and the local scooter riders.
They have a different System in the Amalfi area:
• Give information: everyone knows I’m coming through!
• Position: Any 6 inch gap.
• Speed: Full throttle
• Gear: No need to twist and go; just pin it open!
• Acceleration: Already flat out.
All the gear all the time? It didn’t look like it! But it was hard to blame them in
that heat!
17
We parked up in the gar-
den of our hotel in Sor-
rento. Next day we dis-
covered that if you park
your bike touching so
much as a single leaf of a
tree, the ants will march
across the bridge and
attempt to nest under your
seat and tank!
We had two free days in
Sorrento. We took a boat
trip to Capri, and the next
day rode up Vesuvius,
followed by a second go of the coast road as it’s that good.
Central Italy
From Sorrento we made our way up the spine of Italy, spending two nights at
L’Aquila and three at Siena. The roads were fantastic, like central Spain with
walled hill towns and castles, lakes and
gorges. We were aware that L’Aquila had been struck by an earthquake in 2009,
but were shocked at how much of the devastation remained. Most businesses were
closed, with our hotel and the restaurant being a couple of the few newly built
buildings. Nearby was the highest mountain in the Appenines, the Gran Sasso
D’Italia. It stayed in cloud so we made the assent by cable car and found it was
blowing such a hoolie at the top we didn’t stay.
Siena
Siena is reputedly second only to Florence for its medieval buildings and art.
We’ve not been to Florence, but Siena certainly is a feast for the senses. Vehicles
are banned from the narrow streets, and finding the hotel and parking was interest-
ing, and a good test for the English of the local police. We chilled out there for a
couple of days, getting some culture and eating ice-creams in the Piazza.
We’re trying to avoid too many mentions of food, but the hotel had panforte as
part of the breakfast – a nougat-like cake, which is a must for breakfast! That
evening Steve had it as a dessert, with honey and ewe’s milk cheese.
Misano
Jackie and I split from the group in Siena to go and watch Cal win the MotoGP at
Misano. Well, that’s what we went for anyway. We rode across to the east coast, a
really enjoyable ride through the mountains, where, being Saturday again, all the
local bikers were out. As we pulled up for a coffee, two locals on Guzzis were so
impressed to find Jackie on the Gixxer that they bought us both a coffee, and en-
18
thused about their favourite roads. If only we’d had the time! We stayed at Cattol-
ica, for a last dip in the Adriatic. It was a bit like Blackpool but was 5 minutes
from the GP track. We had the Brembo mechanics staying at our hotel, but failed
to pick up any gossip. A great day at the GP; arrival and parking were organised
chaos, with what it says on your ticket apparently of little relevance. Sadly the
Brits did not do too well, but we really enjoyed the atmosphere. We had to make
a swift departure to ride 180 miles up to Lake Garda to be reunited with the rest of
the group. The last 50 miles were the second batch of heavy rain of the trip, on the
motorway north.
Lake Garda
The rain was soon forgotten when
we saw the location of our hotel,
bang on the shore of the lake. We
woke next day to see the sunrise
over the mountains behind the lake
from our balcony, and we all met
for breakfast on the Lakeside. Bril-
liant!
So began the last real day of the
holiday, as we made our way up
the west side of Lake Garda, with
spectacular views of the lake and
mountains, sometimes through rock windows in the many short tunnels. After a
coffee, we headed up into the mountains for the last few twisties and amazing
views in the fringes of the Dolomites. We had lunch at Molveno, in a fantastic
setting by its lake set among the mountains. After Slovenia, this was our second
best biking day. Then it was on to Bolzano to load our bikes onto the train.
Names to Conjure With!
On our trip we took in parts of the Romantische Strasse, Idyllische Strasse,
Jadranska Magistrale, Via Appia and Amalfitana. On the return to Rotterdam, we
even did a bit of the Route Industriekultur. The twisties were greatly enhanced by
being so designated!
Reflections
It was the trip with everything: alpine roads, stunning mountain and coastal scen-
ery, culture, great food and drink, great company, mostly hot sunshine, swimming
in the Adriatic, riding up a volcano, going to the GP, great food, taking our bikes
on boats and trains! Did we mention the cream tea at Ampleforth College?
It made us glad we’re bikers, and we’re very grateful to Pino and Jane for that
invitation and for planning and organising another top holiday!!
