JNovember 3rd... Annual Chopper Muster
Meet 10am at cement pine trees at top of Cross Road.
Ride through Eastern Adelaide Hills and then south to Prof's Lodge
at Willunga for BBQ. See SA Annual Events for more
info...
November 10th... Gawler Motorcycle only Swap Meet
Meet at swap meet and then leave around 11am for a

November 13th Wed... 1st Summer Midnight Ride...
Meet Vilies Cafe 8pm, Route to be decided. Finish at Pancake
Kitchen 11.30 Bikes are parked at Pancake Kitchen's front door
by prior arrangement. This is a great night of cool summer
evening riding... and very nostalgic to many of us who did this sort
of thing most weekends when it was just us and our bikes. All
the coffee shops, hamburger joints and donut caravans are closed
now, but starting at Villies and then finally finishing at The
Pancake Kitchen which has never closed since it opened in the early
seventies is still an experience... the younger blokes love it as
much as us older guys.
December...
to be arranged
Other possible events...
Chopper
shed nights have gone into recess, but a number of members would
like to see them resurrected. Give Prof a call if you want to
get these week night (once every one to two months) events up and
running again.
WA Ride
sometime near future...
Two plus weeks. Purpose
is to meet up with WA members, there'll be a couple of events on the
weekend. We'll take a direct route over and those who want to
can take their time seeing the sights on the way back. Blokes
we know did this trip more than once in the 70's when the road was
bull dust and wombat holes... and they did it on 60's/70's bikes.
Let's see a bunch of 60's-80's choppers going over this time.
It will be a breeze compared with 35 years ago, but still a trip to
remember... roadside camping, no fancy stuff and no backup.
Who's game? A number of the WA guys will ride out to meet us
and some of the SA guys who can't get enough time off will accompany
us to Tumby.
SA Annual
Events...
SA Chopper 2013 Muster... Sunday Nov 3rd...
Meet 10am at cement pine trees at top of Cross Road.

some bike games in the paddock.
For those who can stay we'll finish up with our traditional sunset ride on the sand between Aldinga
Beach and Sellicks Beach. BBQ tea when we get
back. Outdoor 70's chopper movies.
Anyone who would like to stay overnight at Prof's
Lodge are very welcome.

Build that chop...
Be it long and lean or low and mean,
High in the head or low instead,
Rigid, swing arm, plunger heel...
Anything to give that chopper feel.
Stretch and rake just
oozes class.
Chrome, alloy, classy paint job, what a blast.
Harley, Italian, Jap or Brit,
When it’s fully chopped it’ll fit.
Planned in the kitchen, built in the shed,
You
spin your spanners, while your lady’s abed.
It’s a part of you, not
some mega-buck clone.
Your
chop is best ‘cos it’s built at home.

A stocker? No way! That
ain’t cool...
It’s
over real chops that the chickies drool.
So you build your chop
though it’s not all fun.
You
sweat and swear ‘til you get it done.
Finished! Your baby's a
beaut and tracks real sweet
Roar
of exhaust, stretched out feet,
Riding your chopper come
what may,
Wind
in your face; you're King for the day…
