Club Ride Days
There was a decent turnout of club
members at Freemans Waterhole on
Sunday February 3rd
as well as some
members from the Singleton Club. Andrew
rode his restored 1968 model Bonneville
and a tidy 1973 750 also appeared, Tim
rode his up pipe Commando and Bob Orr
rode his Jaffa Kawasaki.

British bikes aplenty at
Woodbury Park, some
interesting guest bikes
like this Honda Goldwing
bobber special with a real
hand formed alloy fuel
tank. Max rode his neat
Z400 Kawasaki, good to
see him back on 2 wheels
although he had a minor
spill in the dreaded gravel
when leaving. Bob Orr
rode his 1975 Commando
and Don was on his CB77

President’s rePort – March 2019
We received the sad news of the recent passing of two of our
“Originals”, Foundation and Life members John Cochrane and Brian
Wishart, both passing away within a few weeks of each other. There is
an article on both elsewhere in the magazine.
Whilst writing the article I went back though quite a number of early
issues of The Flywheel and this was indeed a trip down Memory Lane.
There were some quite interesting articles in the various issues and
some may appear as a reprint from time to time.
I also realised that most of our current members didn’t have a clue who
these people were. They were Foundation Members of our present club and had also been members of our
original club, the Central Coast Branch of the Classic & Enthusiasts MCC of NSW. This is where we started
and keen members like the Cochranes and the Wisharts (and others) were the people who formed the club we
all share today.
So, who are the Foundation Members still with us today? Jan Wishart, Noreen Cochrane, Mark & Merrilyn
Gattenhof, Lindsay & Alix Brown, Jim Mead, Peter Mark and Nick Vassilopoulos. These are the people who
have been with our club through thick and thin from Day 1. Some of these people we don’t see owing to the
tyranny of distance or ongoing health issues but they are never the less part of our club.
It’s good to see the enthusiasm generated by Rob Clarsen who has taken on the role of Events Director. He
has some good ideas and would welcome input from members of anything that should be included in our
calendar. We are already planning this year’s Pelican Rally so make a note in your diary for the 20/21/22
September. An event not to be missed.
From time to time the two blokes who sit either side of me at our meetings will give me a nudge and ask
“Who’s that bloke over there?” I then have to work our which bloke they are referring to, and when I do I also
mostly note that “that bloke” is not wearing a name badge. Now, probably he doesn’t want anyone to know
who he is or, more likely, he couldn’t be bothered wearing his badge. So, for my sake, could you PLEASE
wear your badge and get those other two off my back?
A warm welcome to new members: Steve Sai-Louie (Woy Woy); Lee Suine (returning after many years
absence).
Ride safely,
Mark Gattenhof
President
editor’s report
It’s been a busy few months I bought two bikes to keep me busy over Autumn/Winter; a very tidy Harley
Aermacchi SS350 single and a cheap 1976 Yamaha 650 fixer upper. On the way back from Kempsey where I
checked out the spaghetti Harley I stopped at the Nabiac Museum and got a photo of the Ivor Johnson they
have there- a very valuable machine as I later found out on the ‘net so I got some info and more photos for an
article further on in the magazine
I rode my bagged up Victory to Phillip Island for the World Superbikes going via Orange, Cooma Bega and
Nowa Nowa then two days at the track camping for two nights then back via Broadford and Coolac a good
run. There is a few photos and info on the rally in this issue. There isn’t enough member’s content this issue
which is a shame. The Front cover features
John Cochrane a founding member of
the club and former Flywheel editor so
while there are plenty of articles and
pictures in the Flywheel the front
cover of this issue has be given over to
his memory.
Rob Clarsen sent me a paragraph on a
family who rode to Jerry’s but the
pictures came on his I phone and this
made them difficult to download and
put in the magazine.
All contributions are welcome as long
as they concern classic bikes. I hope
you all enjoy this issue.

Yamaha’s Brit coPY- the XS650
Yamaha released the XS1 in 1970 after its debut in October 1969 the motor was a gem but the chassis flexed
as badly as the Mach 3 Kwaka. It took over three years to match the handling of the British parallel twins the
XS 650 helped remove from the market. They had to hire Percy Tait a long time Triumph test rider to sort the
frame on the 1974 TX650A this was improved upon with better suspension in 1975 with the release of the
XS650B this being one of the last standard 650s as factory customs were all the rage so the vertica twin
became part of the Midnight Special range from 1978 to 1985- see model differences below.
The XS650 supposedly began with the 1955 Hosk SOHC 500 twin. After about 10 years of producing the
500 twin, Hosk engineers designed a 650 cc twin. Later the Hosk Company was acquired by Showa
Corporation, and in 1960 Yamaha had bought Showa with Hosk's early design of 650 cc twin.
Yamaha had also collaborated with Toyota to produce the M-engine of the 1965 2000GT sports car (which
starred in the James Bond film “You Only Live Twice”)they decided to apply the paid-for R&D behind that
engine. Trimming the 75 x 75-mm bore and stroke to 75 x 74 gave a 653.8-cc Twin. The Toyota had DOHC
but Yamaha kept costs down by using a single cam. An automotive-style oil system would be required for a
plain-bearing engine, so since Yamaha already had built-up rolling-bearing cranks in production, that’s what
XS-650 got (rolling bearings are happiest on just a few drops of oil per minute).
The crankshaft uses three roller bearings and a ball bearing. The camshaft uses four ball bearings, and rolling
bearings are used throughout the rest of the engine which has an almost square 75 X 74 bore and stroke.
Connecting rods turn on needle bearings. The camshaft gets its drive from a single-row chain running from
the centre of the crankshaft. Chain tension is maintained by a spring-loaded guide the intake valve timing was
changed in 1973 from a longer duration to a milder duration, this and other changes stifled the later models
somewhat, the compression ratio also became lower over the years to match the milder cam timing,
the flywheel is lighter than British contemporaries, this has the effect that the engine tends to pick up revs
more rapidly when the throttle is opened quickly.
In the 1970’s the 650 Yamaha in 750 form competed successfully in the U S dirt track championship winning
many races and taking Kenny Roberts to two Championships other riders such as Gene Romero, Don Castro
and Hank Scott won races on the vertical twin until Harley gained the upper hand with more development and
Yamaha withdrew factory support.
For those rebuilding an old Yam’ 650 the exact model is required to get the correct pistons such is the
variation between models carburettors vary in detail also.

Above; the original XS1 which had little ground
clearance and handled very badly at speed-
right; the best of the line in terms of handling
and braking although the orange XS2 was in
my opinion the best looking 650 Yamaha.
The 1970 model was the XS-1 subsequent Yamaha
XS650 models were XS-1B (1971), XS-2 (1972),
then TX650/XS2B (1973), TX650-A (1974), XS650B
(1975), XS650C (1976), XS-D (1977), XS-E (1978),
XS-F (1979) Then the Specials until 1985.
What is a Hosk?

Iver Johnson V Twin
Formed in the 1880’s in Fitchburg, Massachusetts,
Iver Johnson Company built bicycles, firearms and
by 1911, motorcycles. Not satisfied to follow other
makers, stating a goal of “mechanical perfection,”
innovative design and manufacturing techniques
show in this machine, feast your eyes on the Iver
Johnson’s great details, I hope these photos will
help. To begin with, the overall lines of the bike are
unique. Iver Johnson used the “truss bridge” frame
design, on motorcycles. The sweeping fuel tank
form is complimented by the rakish handle bar, a
deep V form when viewed from above. Following
the line of the handle bar, the leading link “girder”
fork incorporates a delicate multi-leaf spring, nickel
plated as are many detail parts on the Iver Johnson.
Hidden inside the gleaming nickel plated motor is a
unique planetary gear driven “cam” to open and close the
valves. Roller tappets ride on the outer surface of the large gear, so no actual “camshaft” is used. Also inside
the engine, unique for the time, is a double pin crankshaft. Iver Johnson engineers felt that for optimal balance
and smoothness the pistons should reach the tops of their cylinders simultaneously. Also, the engine served as
a “stressed member” as the frame is open at the bottom.
Specifications: Engine: Side-Valve V-Twin Displacement: 62 Cubic Inch/1020cc’s
Ignition: Magneto
Horsepower: 7.5
Valve Actuation: Planetary Gear Driven Cam
Starting: Pedal Crank/Valve Lifter
Primary: Direct to Clutch
Transmission: Single Speed/Clutch
This Iver Johnson is on display at the Nabiac
Motorcycle Museum a similar model recently sold
for $280,000 in America
Harley & The Italian Connection
The SS350 Harley/Aermacchi looks a lot like the
bottom half of a Ducati 750 so much so that the
blue bike below the standard machine has had a
Ducati head and barrel cleverly grafted onto the
modified 350 bottom end, this being an early four
speed kick only model developed in the early
1960s. The black bike which I bought recently is
an upgraded ’73 model which has a twin
downtube frame, electric start, Harley style rocker
boxes as well as a larger 30mm carburetor and
five speeds.
History: back in the 1960s AMF the then owner
of Harley Davidson thought the Harley model
range needed expanding, rather than build new
models from scratch as the self-owned motor
company has recently done in India AMF
bought controlling shares in Aermacchi the
former aircraft manufacturer which had turned
to making lightweight motorcycles since the
ban on Italian aircraft production after WW2.
As well as 2 strokes Aermacchi also made a
competitive 250 four stroke dubbed the Sprint
by Harley in America by lengthening the stroke
(74 X 80) a 350 version was made and was re-
badged a Harley in 1969. AMF/ Harley D
decided it should look more like the bigger
Harley motorcycles so had the unnecessary
frame down tubes added and the rocker boxes re
styled in 1973 even though the bike was quite a
strong machine it didn’t sell like Honda’s CB350
twin so was axed from the range after 2 years.
The Harley Aermacchi tie up lasted until 1979
when AMF sold Aermacchi to Cagiva as a going
concern before Harley returned to a Consortium
headed by Willie G Davidson. The rest is
convoluted history but a Dutch company called
Aermacchi racing still makes all the parts you need
to keep your 350 going and to supply vintage racers
with parts.
The original 350 was an affordable option for
Grand Prix privateers in the late 1960s including
Jack Findlay and Kel Caruthers who raced a 350 to
third in that class in1968. The 250/350 Sprint was a
competitive dirt track racer and helped Harley
riders gain championship points against the lighter
two strokes from Bultaco and Yamaha.

John Gerrish Cochrane
14/02/1928 – 20/01/2019 John was a Foundation member of our original club, the Central Coast Branch of The Classic &
Enthusiasts MCC. Along with his wife, Noreen, he was one of the dedicated people who formed and made
our branch work. He was a proud BSA man as well. When we formed our own club in 1988 John took on the
job of creating our magazine, The Flywheel.
An extract from the first Flywheel: Welcome to Our First Club Newsletter. "As I’m sure you would agree, a
most necessary part of our activities and from this meagre offering hopefully the ‘Flywheel’ will gradually
gather momentum into a worthwhile monthly journal that members can be proud of"
John went on as Editor from 1988-1999, a total of 68 issues, ably assisted by his editorial staff (Noreen).
Club Positions: John held a number of other positions within the club. Events Director 1988; President 1989-
90; Vice President 1991.
Life Members: In 1999 John and Noreen were made Life Members of the club for all their years of
dedication.
The 007 Plate: Back in the days when we had our own Club Plates, John had Plate No. 007 (of which he was
quite proud). At the time I was the Club Registrar and one day I received a call from John advising me that he
had lost his plate whilst doing a Maintenance Run along his street in Bensville. He had made several trips
along the road looking for the lost plate with no success. So, after a suitable period, we managed to issue him
with a new 007 plate. Not long after John had a knock on the door and a young lad said “I found this in a ditch
along the road and I thought it might be yours.” So John now had two 007 plates – one on his BSA and one
screwed to the garage wall.
Grape Escape: May 1991 saw the first “Grape Escape” a weekend in the Hunter Valley organised by John
and Noreen. This went on to become a popular annual event and was well attended by many members.
BRIAN WISHART
31/01/1931 – 17/02/2019 Like John, Brian was also a Foundation member of the original club serving first as Treasurer and later
President. He was also the Inaugural President of the new club before moving to Queensland in 1989.When
we first started out Brian was the Manager of the National Australia Bank in Gosford but later “retired” and
bought the Acorn Nursery on Brisbane Water Drive, Point Clare.
When we decided to form the new club Brian’s daughter, Kate, who was a solicitor, did all the groundwork
for our incorporation. Brian was also awarded Life Membership for his unstinting dedication to the club.
Brian was a confirmed Velocette man and suffered much derision from his fellow members when trying to
kickstart the Velo on different occasions. This did not deter him in any way. To balance matters Brian
obtained a Triton which went to Queensland with him and some years after returned to the Coast with a new
owner.
After their move to Queensland, Brian and Jan continued their connexion with the club making an annual
pilgrimage to the Pelican Rally. Jan even managed to pen an article about her experiences in the kitchen for
the 1994 rally (Issue 40, September 1994).
Sadly we don’t currently have the dedicated husband and wife teams we had back in the day and the club is
much poorer for this. Rest in Peace John and Brian.

Orange Rally 2019
Fantastic weather at this year’s Orange rally if it was a bit warm that was not a problem as the scout cabins
are now air- conditioned.
Earlier on Thursday I rode my Victory to Tambaroora near Hill End to catch up with Allen Munro a former
club secretary now living there I convinced him to come to the rally so he rode his late model Triumph Tiger
Adventure trail bike.
Our club turned out in good numbers despite the overall bikes entered being down a bit with 99 registered
bikes on the rally. Bill, Les and Col won trophies but the group photo was too blurred to put in the mag’. The
rally route was similar to last year but the roads were bumpier Orange council are about as slow as Cessnock
at re surfacing roads as they had made about 150 metres of progress over last year so the main road out of
town was still dirt for about 100 metres meaning many bikes were splattered with mud again.
The big 1265 Indian in line 4 was one of the standout bikes on the rally along with a few Harleys and a
couple if Very original Ducati 750s Ben’s Sport being a popular bike to ogle. The food and company was
good; I have to thank Adrian Kuiters for the dinner voucher I was gifted by Peter O’donell. As usual a good
time was had by all and I rode on to Phillip Island on Sunday. Clinton Williams

Jokes Page Paddy and his ever nagging wife were on a holiday in Jerusalem when the wife died suddenly. The
undertaker said, “It will cost $5,000 to ship your wife home, or $50.00 to bury he here. Paddy tells him
to ship her home.
The undertaker said, "But sir, why don’t you bury her in the Holy land and save the money?"
Paddy says, “Listen here pal, a long time ago a man called Jesus was buried here and 3 days later he
rose from the dead. She’s going home!”
Paddy is on a radio doing a live quiz. The presenter asked Paddy,
"For a $100, can you tell me; who was the first woman on Earth?
Paddy is quiet for a few seconds, and then he says, “Give me a clue!”
"Go on then says the DJ, think of an apple.”
"That’s easy," replies Paddy, “Granny Smith.”
Paddy goes to a First Aid course. The instructor asks, “What would you do if your child swallowed the
front door key.”
"I’d climb in through the window.”
Mick says to Paddy, "My wife’s driving me to drink."
"You’re bloody lucky," says Paddy. "Mine makes me walk."
Mick was visiting Paddy who had just got two new dogs. Mick asked what their names were. Paddy
says, “One's called Rolex and the other one's Timex.
"Who ever heard of giving dogs names like that?" said Mick.
“Hello?" says Paddy, "They’re watch dogs."
Paddy: My wife got me to believe in religion.
Murphy: No way!
Paddy: Yeah, until I married her I didn't believe in Hell.
Paddy went to the Police Station, wishing to speak to the burglar who
broke into his house the night before. “You’ll get your chance in court," said the desk Sergeant.
"No, no no," said Paddy. "I want to know how he got into my house without waking my wife. I’ve
been trying to do that for years."
Paddy on holiday and about to go to the beach, when his wife asks him
if he has seen her flip flops. Paddy says, "I hate it when you go
topless."

Dear Business Owner / Motorcycle Enthusiast The Rotary Club of Gloucester NSW is holding its 11th Motorcycle Expo on the 4th May 2019.
Our town is a great stopping off point for motorcyclists going north up the Thunderbolts Way, south down the
Bucketts Way or even on their way to Nabiac’s Motorcycle Museum. Being only 1 and a half hours north of
Newcastle it is a good day ride destination for the casual riders as well.
We have firm commitments from several motorbike shops and suppliers who will once again attend the Expo,
as well as the support of the local Ulysses club, Heaven VMX club and local businesses.
The aim of the weekend is to show our town's support for motorcyclists, as well as raising funds which
Gloucester Rotary intend to use to increase safety signage on the Thunderbolts Way and other community
projects.
I have attached some flyers for you to peruse and hopefully display. In it, you will find quite a bit of
information about how the weekend is planned. Our Facebook page is very active as well.
If you are interested in having a stall, I have included the Booking form with a price list.
This will be a great weekend and we hope you can join us. Feel free to contact us for more information.
Yours on 2 wheels,
