Its the end of the year well financial one anyway and your subs are due again, so if you don’t pay as from the 1st of July your m/cycle is effectively unregistered as the club secretary reports you to Vic Roads as being not financial, its up to you now.

So lock down again till 16th June so the government says, I disbelieve them more like Queens Birthday till we are back. Four times these lunatics have stuffed this up and they will again and again, anyway the week-end ride on the 6th June is cancelled and as you know the monthly last Tuesday night was cancelled, our life has gone to uncertainty for some time, I have had my “jab” and in August get the booster shot, the second head is coming along fine and the CIA contacts me every night while I’m dreaming, you have to laugh.

In a nutshell absolutely positively yes and Owen and Linda Jones, Phillip White and myself will guarantee a comfortable riding experience.

Is it Red plate legal?

Always speculation going on in a club about modified motorcycles but pre-1949 vehicles have seperate parameters to confirm to, so a Vindian is a Vincent engine fitted in a Indian frame with the engine mounts modified, the engine was built pre 1949 and in standard Rapide form produces the same claimed horsepower as a Chief 80. So we get a ok from VicRoads, they are more efficient than a side valve and have a foot gearchange, hand clutch, the engine-gearbox are similar in weight as well so they operate more efficiently on the road and reliability is probably better.
