PRESIDENTS PRATTLE

Hi Everyone,

Firstly a huge thankyou to everyone that helped out at the Blackdog 1 Dayer Baldivis ride. We had around

thirty Wanderers helping out, which meant the event ran very smoothly. We raised around $11,000, which I

think is excellent for a half day event. I had numerous people saying to me they couldn’t believe how well

organised we were considering it was only our second Black Dog ride.

Our new committee (which is really the old committee plus two newbees) had its first meeting last week,

and everything went well. We decided to approach the Lucy Saw centre again and see what they need at the

centre to help wives and kids that have taken refuge from an abusive relationship. We helped them a few

years ago with basic needs for families that have arrived with only a few clothes and desperate for help.

Thankyou to everyone that has volunteered to lead a ride on the next calendar, with have another great

selection of rides and social events. As Derek said at the committee meeting, it is what keeps our members

happy, and our branch the envy of many others.

Hope to see you on a ride soon, and looking forward to a week in Bali with 20 Wanderers.

Only two weeks to go!!

Cheers

Chris

MONEY MATTERS $$$ Balance as at 4th April was $7963.39. We have been paid for the January and February Triathlons now. Bills

paid out were: PO box renewal, triathlon volunteer lunches and fuel money for the upcoming Triathlon in

Hillary’s. If anybody would like to peruse the branch books, just come and see me.

Cheers

Dianna

Secretary Report April, 2017

Hi everyone, after having our branch AGM and welcoming 2 new committee members we had a great first committee meeting and so it looks like we are going to have a good year ahead and sharing the jobs around should make it so it’s not too stressful. Thanks to Joe for taking on the “Have A Go Day” at Aqua Jetty Wednesday 12th April. If you have time after Pengos coffee morning why not drop in to the stall and lend a hand and go for a “look see” around the other stalls. Once again we have some terrific rides and social events on our calendar, thanks to all those who are making the effort to keep it fun! Our assistant Ride Coordinator “Derek” has suggested if you have a ride in mind or a place you’d like to go but may need a hand to organise it to make it happen, just ask one of us on the committee. We are all here to assist as best we can. Ok, we are always open to new ideas and suggestions so come on, give it go! It could be the best ride or event for all year!

Always take care, be aware and be kind to each other.

Cheers,

Julie Wilcox #35151

Hue, Vietnam

Where to go next for yet another great adventure,

that’s always the big question? Well, on the 17

February, 18 of us took off to Hue, Vietnam for 2

weeks and what a great time we had!

This event was initially a Ulysses Armadale

idea/organised trip (Tony & Sally), but started to grow

to incorporate some of the Warnbro Wanderers and

two couples from Melbourne.

For those of you who don’t know, Hue (sitting

alongside the Perfume River) is in Central Vietnam

and was the seat of the Nguyen Dynasty from

1802-1945. It’s most famous for the 19th Century

Citadel (UNESCO listed) which encompasses the

Imperial City – comprising of palaces, shrines, and the

Forbidden Purple City which was once the Emperor’s

home.

We flew into Danang and stayed overnight, before

travelling onto Hue – some of us took the bus, others

the train. About a 3 hour journey, both very

relaxing/scenic, providing some good photography

and a taste of what was to come.

After booking into the Gold Hotel we got together to

make plans for our 10 day stay. Tony had already

spent some considerable time researching the area

and had put together some suggestions, which we all

eagerly embraced (always great when somebody else

does all the ‘leg work’ so the rest of us can just enjoy

the fruits of their hard work!).

Some of the items on the list included:

The Citadel

Alba Hot Springs

Bach Ma National Park

DMZ

Ba Na Hills Cable Car (Danang)

And of course, we wanted to get in as much bike

riding as we could. That said, a taste of the

roads/traffic travelling through Hue to our hotel left

some of us wondering if this was such a good idea –

mere stupidity, or a death wish?

Chaos was the only way to describe what we saw and

experienced, but nonetheless the very next day we

were out searching for a place to hire bikes and to

take our chances!

The condition of the bikes didn’t fill you with

confidence, but what can you expect for $5 per day.

They had all the necessary parts – 2 wheels, brakes

(to a degree) and as long as we could feel the rush of

air in the face what did we care. This would be a fun

day, if only we could successfully make it out of the

city (heading towards the coast). So, with a great deal

of trepidation and excitement, we all headed off.

On the ‘wrong’ side of the road, weaving in and out of

the traffic, ignoring many of the traffic lights/signs

(so we could keep together) we looked for a petrol

station – yes, they had only put a teaspoon of fuel in

the bikes and so we needed to top up straight away.

Hue, Vietnam cont. That done, we braved the traffic

once more and followed Tony (well he was the one

with the GPS and seemed to know where he was go-

ing, so why not). Eventually, we got out of the city and

into the countryside – buzzing with exhilaration that

we were all still in one piece, and without incident.

Dodging the pot holes (numerous), the chickens, the

oxen that strayed across the road around every other

corner, we had left the incessant noise of 1 million+

horns honking non-stop to a place of beauty and

peace. And, yes I know that a 125cc doesn’t compare

to a Honda Goldwing 1800 or those other ‘big and

powerful’ bikes that we are all used to, but at least we

were all still moving forward and that was the main

thing. We had a great ride, a great lunch and apart

from losing one of our group (honestly Peter, what

were you thinking?) we all had a great day.

During the days to follow, we did some sightseeing at

the Citadel (amazing place) and we had a fabulous ride

out to the Alba Hot Springs. A group of geothermal

dipping pools - mineral springs which are supposed to

provide “incomparable healing qualities” and is a

“path to relaxation and rejuvenation”.

Lovely – certainly did the trick!

Not such a good day for a poor Japanese tourist who

suffered a fatal heart attack and had to be carted off

on a stretcher – although having had one of our group

spend about ½ hr giving him CPR. Well done to

Charles for all his efforts.

We had a ‘guided’ bike tour out to the DMZ – 17th

Parallel to visit Dong Ha (HQ for the US Marines during

the war), Hien Luong Bridge over the Ben Hai River –

the only physical demarcation between the

North/South Vietnam and Vinh Moc Tunnels – a

refuge for over 400 North Vietnamese during the

bombing operation ‘Rolling Thunder’.

Another really great day, although I always find these

types of trips rather emotional as I never cease to be

amazed at how resourceful and resilient people can be

in the most terrible of conditions. And, how senseless

all the suffering and killing was.

I used the term ‘guided’ loosely, as our Leader seemed

to think that travelling at speeds of more than 40 km

ph was inadvisable (so many of us overtook him at

times on the nice straight stretches, just to remind

ourselves that we were ‘real’ bikers and not simply old

men/women out for a Sunday jaunt). We also had a

few problems with our ‘Tail end Charlie’ who seemed

to want to spend most of his time up the front!

Maybe he was related to Sed or had been a Warnbro

Wanderer in a previous life?? That said, on the way

back both of them seemed to decide that as the

‘sightseeing’ was over it was preferable to get back to

the city at a record pace.

Hue, Vietnam cont.

As a result, we spent most of our long journey back,

trying to find them (and sometimes each other) – in

between running out of fuel and having to find a petrol

station. But, against the odds we met the ‘challenge’

and made it back. Well, we didn’t all get back at the

same time as some of us got totally lost and went

around in circles for a while before finding a ‘landmark’

that we recognised – this also involved

circumnavigating one of the biggest and most scariest

round-a-bouts in the city (with eyes shut and fingers

crossed). Gosh, what a lot of fun.

Lots of celebrations that night (and other nights) with

good food, lots of Huda to drink, good company, lots of

laughter, lots more Huda to drink, and the sharing of

our joint adventure stories.

In between all our shared good times, were the few

‘down times’ when almost all of us experienced some

tummy troubles and had to take time out to stay near

the loo – a bit of a problem when travelling around, as

the toilets left a great deal to be desired, especially if

you needed to sit for a while (what to sit on when there

is only 2 footprints and a hole?). But, best not to go

into all that though, as I don’t want Dawn to start

having nightmares again!

Off to the Bach Na National Park – this time in a mini

bus. It’s about 40 km from Hue and lies between the

South China Sea and the Laos border. The highest point

is the Bach Na Mountain – 1,450 m above sea level. It

started with about a 2km hike up the mountain (and

back) to a look-out point (couldn’t see a thing because

of the cloud and the weather).

On our return, a planned picnic lunch in the Park had to

be redirected inside as it began to rain. Having enjoyed

our lunch, we then took off to hike the Five Lake Trail

and see the Do Quyen Waterfall (300m tall). At this

point, had most of us known what we were in for we

would have run in the opposite direction! The terrain

was unforgiving – the ground beneath our feet was

covered in rocks, wet leaves (it was pouring with rain

now) and mud.

Hue, Vietnam cont.

Trying to navigate the steep inclines, winding trails up

and down, 689 steps (I read about these afterwards,

certainly didn’t have the energy to count!), crossing

streams with just a rope to hang on to as we jumped

from one slippery rock to another, removing the

leeches that clung fast to your legs, whilst trying to not

slip/fall/drown/be sucked dry, for about 2 ½ hrs and

7+ kms was not what I would call ‘enjoyable’. I’m not

ashamed to say, that during the last 20 minutes of

this hike I was starting to lose my sense of humour and

wanted to kill our (fit, healthy 34 year old) guide. I’d

used every bit of strength and energy I possessed and

firmly believed that I wouldn’t see my family again.

When we eventually got back to the mini bus, we were

all totally exhausted (and greatly relieved). The bus

ride back was somewhat quiet for a while, and then all

hell broke loose as Jeff, Gae and several others found

yet more leeches greedily sucking away and tried to

remove them. The floor of the bus was slippery with

blood loss as the death of these nasty critters took

place – at this point we had all started to recover a

little, and our sense of humour returned as we relived

our near death experience. “It made the Kokoda Trail

look like a walk in the park”.

The next few days saw more rain and so that was the

end of the bike riding. But we all concurred that if we

could ride in Vietnam, we could now ride anywhere!

A bit of shopping, a ride down the river in one of the

Dragon Boats and lots more food/drink and it was back

to Danang.

As we had a half-day to spare, it was suggested that we

might visit the Ba Na Hills Resort and ride the cable car.

We were asked to pay about $30 each for this ride

(in addition to a lengthy taxi ride) which seemed rather

expensive compared to the cost of everything else we

had been paying for since we arrived. So, just five of us

carried on while the others made alternative

arrangements. When we arrived at the Resort we

found out that this was the world’s longest cable car –

over 5kms long and approximately 30 mins. It was

incredible – up and up into the clouds, with

magnificent views, and at the end of our journey we

were to get yet another surprise. Only expecting to

find a ‘platform’ on which to view the scenery, we

found a faux European (French style) medieval town/

cathedral/castle complex on top of the mountain. It

was simply huge and amazing, and there was more

construction going on in the distance to make it even

bigger! Unfortunately, we would have needed an

entire day to really explore properly and so only

managed to see just a little of the place before having

to take the cable car back down. However it is

certainly worth another trip and another visit in the

future.

This was the first time I have travelled overseas with a

group – either been on my own, or with just one other

person. I must admit to being a little unsure about

how it would turn out. But, a great group of people

and a really fantastic time.

Thank you fellow travellers.

I have been to various parts of Vietnam about four

times now, and the place (and people) enchant me.

I prefer it to Indonesia and Thailand. So, if you are

looking for somewhere else to visit I would strongly

recommend you put Vietnam on your list.

Derek’s Bunbury Café Ride 11th March: It was a great morning with beautiful weather and 11 bikes gathered at our usual place, which was a good number considering it was Election Day. Headed out to Dwellingup via Lakes Rd to North Dandalup onto Del Park Rd. Passed through Dwellingup and down onto our favourite road; Nanga Rd which had us all hanging on tight, with the tiny gritty gravel that was spread all over the whole corner (new roadworks). Good job everyone, no one came to grief. Continued along through the winding roads which saw Brian winding up the lackkies on the old Triumph, passing the ride leader and waiting for us in Waroona Bakery. MMMMmmm! Coffee, pies, cakes what an assortment of delicious temptations!

Quite a few went home from here while others continued the ride down the South West Hwy, turning onto Raymond Rd (more roadworks but not as bad as Dwellingup) and over to the Forest Hwy. Took a leisurely ride into Bunbury to the Vietnamese Bakery and as we parked had a chat with the parking inspector he said one of us pay and 3 to a bay and he gave me a stick on envelope (what he uses to stick the fines onto the vehicles he books) so I could put it on my windshield so he was a happy chappy and so were we. Yummy meal was had by all, except for Brian who didn’t eat his salad. We refuelled at Australind and then took the Leschenault inlet road back to the Forest Hwy and up the “Old Coast Rd” through Mandurah and headed for home. Our new member Ron commented on the roads saying he had never been on them before and it was a great day. The total ride length 318k’s (just a tad longer than the norm). No rain, no lost riders, no problems, just a great day out!

Jurien Bay Weekend Away

Hi Haydn here, the weekend away was a good weather ride. We went via Cervantes and that’s where we had our stop for lunch. On arrival at Jurien we booked in and hit the pub for a nice cold beer or two. Then it was time to head back to the room for a shower. After getting freshened up we met up with Ian Boyd for a feed, some more drinks and a good laugh. All too soon it was time to head off to bed. When we got up in the morning, we had a good breakfast at the caravan park and jetty kiosk. We had a short ride around town and back to Ian’s place where we had another good catch up. Said our many thanks for the weekend then JC and I left for Moora to catch up with family. Later in the day we had a good ride home from there.

Jim Mackie Life History

Born in Perth W.A. 1937 to John and Hetty Mackie. Parents divorced after the war and I was raised by my mother and attended various primary schools until I attended Midland High School. When I was 13 I joined the Belmont Scout Group and was Scout Leader of the Magpie Patrol. In 1952 on reaching 15, I took on an apprenticeship as carpenter and joiner with my uncles building firm Gardiner and Mackie and stayed on after qualifying for a number of years. In 1954 at 17 years I purchased my first motorcycle which was a Lambretta and later a 350cc Matchless and then a 650cc BSA Gold Flash. After marriage I left off the bikes until our son reached about 12 and we joined the Trail and Enjuro Motorcycle club for about4 years.

In 1958 I met a beautiful trainee nurse Glen Pearce at the Canterbury Court Ballroom and after a three years courtship we were married in 1961 in a little church in Tenterden. Two years later we had a daughter and then a son who have both grown up and have made their mark in society and we are proud of them. Late 1961 we bought our first home in Mars St Carlisle and 8 years later our next home in Yokine and then 16 years later 4.5acres in Glen Forrest where we designed and built our own home, and then 14 years later we downsized to a half acre in Homestead Ridge in Wellard, and 10 years later downsized to 600m2 in the Palm Beach Estate Rockingham in 2014. In 1963 I joined a Nedlands branch of the Freemasons, and later went to the Mundaring and then Rockingham Lodge branches. In 2013 I received my 50 year jewel , and in 2013 was granted Grand Lodge Honours as “ Past Grand Sword Bearer “. In 1965 I worked for 2 years as an estimator for Connolly’s Metal Windows until I obtained my Builders Registration ticket in 1967 and it took me another 6 years before I went back and obtained the Building Diploma. In 1968 I left Connolys and started with the Melville Council as a Building Inspector then in 1969 obtained a similar job

with the City of Perth which I kept for 10 years until I was promoted to Property Maintenance Manager for 15 years until I took voluntary redundancy when the City was fragmented in 1994. Shortly after leaving Perth I was offered employment with a breakaway town The Town of Cambridge as I was familiar with all their properties and leases etc. I stayed with Cambridge until my retirement in 2001. It was while I was at Cambridge I was taught to play golf at 62. In 2007 I was one of the founding members of the Family West Caravan and Camping Club and we are still members. In about 2005 I joined the Vintage Motorcycle Club as I was restoring vintage motorcycles for my son-in-laws fathers museum in Williams, but soon found the club didn’t know how to party ( I’m still a member ) and in 2007 joined the Warnboro Sound Wanderers Brach of the Ulysses Club and loving the rides, social activities and the interaction of the

members. After a Shadow and a Goldwing I’m now riding a Honda Deauville. This year ( 2017 ) I was accepted as a committee member and I intend to support the branch. I may not agree with all decisions made by the branch but in the interest of the big picture I will not be spitting the dummy or throwing a tantrum because I don’t agree with a ruling . Though Glen and I are slowing down we feel it is im-

portant to keep active as much as possible and we are

hoping to be active members of club for many years

yet. Jim Mackie 49190

Bowling Night 31st March: On a warm balmy night 17 WSW fronted up for a lawn bowl night. Whilst eating our delicious meal the lucky numbers were drawn and who should have a winning ticket…? Great work Derek, now all he had to do was pick the box that contained $330….OK he picked number 9, nope, it wasn’t the money, it was a choice of a 6 pick of beer or a bottle of wine and not being a beer drinker he chose a bottle of wine for me!!!! Gosh I love that man!!! The money was hidden in number 1! Oh well, I’m not complaining.

So, off to the greens with our bowls in hand. We were supposed to be in 4 groups of 4; but then there was two groups of 4: Tony, Sherrel, Brian and Dave as one team, Wayne, Bev, Derek and I as another, then the rest joined in together as one: Jim, Glen, Chris, Dianna, Janet, JC and Hayden. Taff and Tina were the official drinking cheer squad and photo takers, as Tina says “it’s not her fault the photos weren’t great it was her eyes (not the alcohol) oh sorry no it was the phone” (she had tried 2 phone cameras first and they became a problem so then she stole Chris’s camera), hahaha! Ok Tina, at least you tried.

The music was playing and it was set in the 80’s, so we “bowl danced”! Glen needed plenty of assistance to bend down that far, JC had a problem keeping his balls in place and really if you want to know more you needed to be there! All too soon it came to an end with prizes given out and another enjoyable, fun evening, with lots of laughter and great friends. Julie

East Fremantle Dome Ride 26 March

It threatened to be a wet day but turned out nice,

there were only four bikes plus Paul and Sonia and Bev

in cars. Not a quantity of riders but definitely quality. I

was tail “End Charlie” though we didn’t mark corners.

All went well until Naval Base and Wayne pulled over

then took off again until a side street when he turned

off, so after I passed him I thought he may be in trouble

so I did a U turn an came back for him coming back to

the main road, he later told me he “Just had to

Pee” ( sorry Wayne I couldn’t help I didn’t have my Bar-

B-Q tongs ).When we arrived we were surprised to see

Werner and Dawn arriving and later Keith Welfare.

Dianna decided to still hold the raffles even though we

were down on numbers. I didn’t know Dianna and Bev

had a twisted sense of humour. When the raffle for the

wine was drawn Bev drew my number, they then drew

a second prize draw and my number came up again. I

thought all my luck had come at once until they told

me I was the only person to buy the wine raffle tickets.

That’s sick to trick the vulnerable elderly people like

that. Even though we were low on numbers the

weather was kind and the company was excellent.

Thanks Chris and Dianna Jim Mackie

A little old lady went to the grocery store to buy cat food. She picked up three cans and took them to the check out coun-ter. The girl at the cash register said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you cat food without proof that you have a cat. A lot of old people buy cat food to eat, and the manager wants proof that you are buying the cat food for your cat. The little old lady went home, picked up her cat and brought it back to the store. They sold her the cat food. The next day, she tried to buy two cans of dog food. Again, the cashier said, "I'm sorry, but we cannot sell you dog food without proof that you have a dog. A lot of old people buy dog food to eat, but the management wants proof that you are buying the dog food for your dog." So she went home and brought in her dog. She then was able to buy the dog food. The next day she brought in a box with a hole in the lid. The little old lady asked the cashier to stick her finger in the hole. The cashier said, "No, you might have a snake in there." The little old lady assured her that there was nothing in the box that would harm her. So the cashier put her finger into the box and quickly pulled it out. She said to the little old lady, "That smells like shit." The little old lady said, "It is. I want to buy a roll of toilet paper."

Jake was dying. His wife sat at the bed-side.. He looked up and said weakly: 'I have something I must confess.' 'There's no need to, 'his wife replied.. 'No,' he insisted, 'I want to die in peace. I slept with your sister, your best friend, Her best friend, and your mother!' 'I know,' she replied. 'Now just rest and let the poison work.'
