Sunday the 13Th ride to the Road Warrior Café”. No summer start time change planned for this summer, due to discontent. The Orange Rally is upon us, please register a.s.a.p. If you plan to attend.

Gordon Mitchell advised other rides as per Calendar, with plenty of rides for the southern side. Ray Gosling reported on the recent Tiddlers Rally, reporting a very friendly and leisurely weekend. Ray also reported on the Sunday ride from Leppington was a well supported, and an enjoyable event. Les Simmons asked if we could identify the actual start points for new members, actual location e.g.; where is the big flagpole? He was advised if unsure to contact the event officer for clarification. Kim Fleming proposed we identify these landmark start points in the next clatter and if acceptable include event officer's mobile numbers. Gordon Mitchell asked if we could reinvent the Breakdown contact list, Kim Fleming proposed the updated list be published in the Clatter and the website, seconded by Allan Smith.

Regalia: Ray Gosling reported sales of club regalia; he also had a display of club summer shirts and caps.

Permits: Paul Rees Nothing to report

MCNSW: Joe Vella reported all good. Inspection day and upcoming rally permit issued. Library: Nil to report.

Program Gordon Mitchell reported February Velocette presentation by Chris O’Carroll, a DVD is Officer: planned for January and in March a bike topic presentation.

Proposal by Kim Fleming to send him a get-well card and fruit basket on behalf of he club, seconded by Peter Boros.

General Peter Boros raised concern in relation to the committee meeting report, where the club is Business: not participating in the “modified vehicles trial,” Peter advised we had many modified classics in the club in the past, tritons, dresda’s and tribsa to name a few, Keith Sandell supported Peter’s concerns, Bernie Eather, Gordon Mitchell, Ray Lutherborrow and Allan Smith also spoke on the matter. Kim Fleming outlined the fact the committee did not want to burden the machine examiners with vehicles that are modified from original, and could or should be subject to an engineers certificate depending on the RMS guidelines for modified vehicles under the scheme. Kim concluded that the new committee might review this situation when the RMS establish and issue the guidelines for such vehicles and their inspection criteria. Gordon Mitchell asked Bernie Eather if the recent CEMCC show day had been successful due to the inclement weather on the day. Bernie responded it was a positive outcome despite the attendance being down due to the weather, he said this year’s event sponsorship on the day had contributed to the positive outcome. Well done to the Illawarra branch and the show organizing committee. David Lewis mentioned the Broadford Bonanza next year is a motorcycle event that should be put in the diary, outlining the event highlights and displays that are planned, this was supported by Chris O’Carroll who had previously attended. Kim Fleming suggested that if it generated enough interest we could make it a conditional plate event. Trevor Murray asked members to sign the attendance book. Allan Smith advised members that all but two prizes at the recent girder fork rally were taken by CEMCC members (see photo on front cover of latest “Clatter” issue). Technical: Nil items or issues raised.

President’s report: Well the time has come....

This is my last report as President for now - and whilst some will be pleased to see the back of me, I can only hope that my tenure has had some positives for the club and its membership.

The past twelve months have once again seen a lot happen, with our branch rallies; interclub rallies; rides; meetings; social outings; club show day and annual club rally. An enormous amount of thanks goes to all involved in the planning and organizing of these events.

Can I also thank those who have supported their club by attending these rides; rallies; events; functions and meetings etc. - you are the backbone of this club and all that it stands for.

At this point in time I would also like to thank the 2015 committee for their untiring support of both the club and myself. Thank you to Vice President Gordon Mitchell, my right hand man and chair filler in my absences; Secretary Terry Reily our trusty keeper of the records and all round good bloke; Treasurer Joe Vella our bean counter, tour photographer, marathon biker and MNSW Liaison man. Also, thanks go to Paul Higgins (Mr. Ride Leader); Alan Smith (my go to technical man); Paul Rees (font of RMS knowledge) and last but by no means least Trevor "Mr. Ducati" Murray (postie and man of mirth). Thanks to you all for the guidance, input and support during my time in office.

I would also like to say how appreciative I am of those members who give their precious time to fill other club positions in Sydney, Albury-Wodonga Branch, Central West Branch and Illawarra Branch.

Now, some food for thought to one and all. PLEASE JOIN A CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE CLUB TO PARTICIPATE IN IT, OR BETTER STILL, ACTUALY RIDE YOUR CLASSIC MOTORCYCLE! Don't criticize those who, with all good intent try to help better the club. Put your hand up and have a go, otherwise keep your self to yourself!

Finally, I offer my support now and in the future to the incoming committee.

Thank you. Kim Fleming President.

Financial report: Joe Vella advised the main source of club funding is through membership fees, and the major costs to operating the club are attributed to printing the “Clatter” magazine, increased postage costs, and the increased costs to obtain event permits.

Midweek Ride: Last week went to Bundeena on a windy day, 18 bikes attended with 6 of those on club plates, most people had lunch, either in the park or at the local eateries and a good day was had by all.

Mick Johnson tells us the last breakfast ride went to Robertson and this weekend it will again end in Robertson but traveling via Picton.

Other Events: It is tentatively planned to run a tour of the CSIRO complex at Lucas Heights early next year, possibly the first Wednesday in March. Put your name down with one of the organisers and we will get an idea of how many people will attend and so how many tours to run. By all accounts it is a very interesting day with the tour lasting approx. 2 and a half hours.

General Merle still has for sale, some limited edition, Debbo badges. Business: 5 Members were nominated and attended the First aid Course, which was run to embellish general knowledge in that area and so hopefully have a practitioner available at some of our ride days to assist in the event of misfortune and raising the level of our duty of care.

Paul Higgins advised the committee, that he and his wife Leona are finalizing plans to sell up and move to Murwillumbah to live. Paul said it might be sooner rather than later depending on property sale and purchase. He currently expects the process to be finalized in the first quarter of the New Year.

From now on, I believe in Prophet Muhamad I decided to go to the local mosque for the first time to see what it was all is about I sat down and the Imam came up to me, laid his hand on me and said: By the will of Allah and the prophet Muhamad - you will walk today I told him I wasn’t paralysed, I only had a small bunion on my left foot He came back and laid his hand on me and looked skywards earnestly repeated his mantra “By the will of Allah and the Prophet Muhamad- you will walk today” Once again, I told himthere was nothing wrong with mw.

After prayers I stepped outside ………….MY CAR WAS GONE.

Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patricks Day. At one point, Mick the bartender says, “you’ll not be drinking any more tonight, Paddy” Paddy reply’s OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then. Paddy spins around on his stool and steppes off. He falls flat on his face Dam, he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face again. “Dam Dam!’ He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he will be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face again. “By jeepers… I’m a little crooked” he says. He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, halls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside. He takes a looks up the stairs and says,” no dam way”. He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom and says “I can make it to the bed”. He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says “dam it” and falls into bed. The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying a cup of coffee and says “Get up Paddy” did you have a bit to drink last night? Paddy says, no Jess what makes you say that? Mick phoned….. You left your wheelchair at the pub

PHENOMENAL 2 LETTER WORD THIS IS SOOOOOOOO CLEVER!

I'm sure you will enjoy this. I never knew one word in the English language that can be a noun, verb, adj, adv, prep. UP

Read until the end ... You'll laugh.

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is UP .' It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv.], [prep], [adj.], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP , meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list, but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP ? At a meeting, why does a topic come UP ? Why do we speak UP , and why are the officers UP for election (if there is a tie, it is a toss UP ) and why is it Up to the secretary to write UP a report? We call UP our friends, brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and clean UP the kitchen. We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car. At other times, this little word has real special meaning. People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses. To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special. And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is blocked UP ...

We open UP a store in the morning but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP , look UP the word UP in the dictionary. In a desk-sized dictionary, it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions. If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP , you may wind UP with ( UP to) a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it's clouding UP . When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP . When it rains, it soaks UP the earth. When it does not rain for a while,things dry UP . One could go on and on, but I'll wrap it UP , for now . . My time is UP ! Oh . . O ne more thing: What is the first thing you do in the morning and the last thing you do at night? U P ! Did that one crack you UP ? Don't screw UP .. Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book . . . Or not . . it's UP to you.

Now I'll shut UP !

Triumph T100 Years produced: 1959-1974 Claimed power: 41hp @ 7,200rpm (1968 T100R) Top speed: 105mph (1968 T100R) Engine type: 490cc air-cooled OHV parallel twin Transmission: 4-speed Weight: 371lb (wet) MPG: 45-60 (est.) Price then/now: $1,199 (1968)/$4,000-$10,000

The Triumph T100 story begins in 1957, with Triumph’s introduction of the 348cc 3TA (“A” for unit construction) “Twenty-One” model, Triumph’s first twin with the transmission built in unit with the engine. Moto-journalists noted that the drivetrain seemed overbuilt for a 350, and that the under-square 58.25mm x 65.5mm cylinder dimensions would allow for a larger displacement version with a bigger bore. They were right.

The unit 5TA Triumph Speed Twin of 1959 arrived with the same 65.5mm stroke as the 350 but with a 69mm bore for 490cc. The sportier Triumph Tiger 100A (T100S from 1961) version arrived the following year. In the U.S., the Triumph T100 was available in two forms: The T100S/R streetbike and the T100S/C, which was more focused toward off-road use. The C model was intended to celebrate Triumph’s success in enduro racing, especially its wins at the famous Jack Pine event, but at first it was little more than a T100S/R with knobby tires — although it did acquire a high-pipe siamesed exhaust around 1964. Racing development

Though the Triumph 650 Bonneville was Triumph’s best seller in the 1960s, the 500cc T100 and its variants were far more important in motorcycle racing competition. Until 1969, bikes with overhead valves were restricted to 500cc in AMA-endorsed competition events, including the prestigious Daytona 200 mile race, which between 1955 and 1965 had pretty much become a Harley benefit race. But Triumph engineer Doug Hele’s dogged development work on the T100’s performance and handling earned back-to-back wins at Daytona in 1966 and 1967 with Buddy Elmore and Gary Nixon riding.

Not for the first time in motorcycling history, a win in a famous race prompted a new model name. For 1967, the T100R Daytona replaced the T100S/R, and featured a new cylinder head with larger intake valves, racing “Q” cams with radiused followers, dual 1-1/8-inch Amal carburetors and a revised frame/swingarm. The result was 41hp in a bike with a curb weight of just 371 pounds, 25 less than the Bonneville. The Triumph T100 C street scrambler joined it shortly after.

The Triumph T100 C used a single Amal for 38hp and was fitted with a pair of smaller mufflers mounted high on the bike’s left side, a small 5-3/4-inch headlight, no tachometer, and knobby tires — all of which said “desert sled.” Though undeniably purposeful looking, in stock form with its street-oriented suspension the T100 C didn’t really cut it in the truly rough stuff, but made a pleasant “dual-sport” rider.

CLASSIC & ENTHUSIASTS MOTOR CYCLE CLUB of NSW Inc

CENTRAL WEST BRANCH

PO BOX 431 ORANGE NSW 2800

Dear Fellow Motorcycle Enthusiasts The Classic & Enthusiasts Motor Cycle Club of New South Wales Inc. extend a cordial invitation to your club and members to join us for the 34th Annual Orange Country Rally, to be held on the 21st and 22nd February, 2015. The Rally is organized by the Central West Branch, with the Rally Headquarters again being the Scout Camp near Lake Canobolas in the picturesque Towac Valley, approximately 10 Km West of Orange. Check-in from 8.00 AM Saturday, and departure at 9.30 AM. The ride this year will be approximately 175 Km, and is located to the North and West of Orange, to Euchareena for morning tea. After morning tea, proceed on to Cudal via Molong and Manildra for lunch and judging. After lunch return to the Scout Camp via Bowen Park. The Saturday Night Presentation Dinner will as usual be held at the Scout Camp, 6.30 PM for 7.00 PM. (BYO alcohol) On the Sunday morning there will be a short ride South of Orange and return to the Scout Camp, with a 8.30 AM start to enable entrants to return to the Rally headquarters for an early pre-packed farewell lunch prior to returning home. Marshals will be at all required intersections, and back-up trailers will be provided. The popular bunk house type accommodation and camp sites are available from Friday at the Scout Camp at the nominal charge. For those who prefer it, a variety of accommodation is also available in Orange, suggest this be checked with the Orange Visitors Information Centre, Phone 1800 069 466. An additional raffle will be run in conjunction with the Rally this year, with 100% of the proceeds going to the Orange Ronald McDonald House project. A Central West Branch member was fortunate enough to attend the Isle of Man TT Races this year and managed to procure some great memorabilia as prizes. Details are on the accompanying brochure, and we will be grateful for any support entrants may be able to make to this very deserving cause. The raffle will be drawn at the Presentation Dinner. If additional copies of the Entry Form are required, it would be greatly appreciated if these could be copied, alternately we will gladly provide extra copies on request. For further information contact: Kevin Daniel Rick Kent Rally Coordinator Rally Secretary 6361 3701 6361 7915 AH We again look forward to your participation in this Rally.

A pretty impressive record/ commitment by this trio who each have attended consecutively all 29 Butterball Rallys hosted by the C&EMCC Alb/Wod Branch.

Sadly they will possibly not have the opportunity to add to their record of attendance due to changes within the club. At a past rally Mal was asked,” When are you going to stop attending the Butterball”? He answered,” While ever Elsie is still attending I will be there, can’t have her ride one more than me”. Left: Wayne Penny of Wodonga. Centre: Elsie Romey of Rutherglen. Right: Mal Baily of Melbourne.

A teenage boy had just passed his driving test and inquired of his father as to when they could discuss his use of the car. His father said he'd make a deal with his son, "You bring your grades up from a C to a B average, study your Bible a little, and get your bloody haircut. Then we'll talk about the car."

The boy thought about that for a moment, decided, he'd settle for the offer, and they agreed on it.

After about six weeks his father said, "Son, you've brought your grades up and I've observed that you have been studying your Bible, but I'm pissed off that you haven't had your hair cut."

The boy said, "You know, Dad, I've been thinking about that, and I've noticed in my studies of the Bible that Samson had long hair, John the Baptist had long hair, Moses had long hair, and there's even strong evidence that Jesus had long hair."

(You're going to love the Dad's reply!)

"Did you also notice they all walked everywhere they went?!!"
