Mr July - Member Profile
A Ulysses member since
2010, our rather shy Mr July is Alan Shaw, and he lives
“somewhere near Tathra”.
He says that retirement,
and the winding roads
brought him to the area.
Alan has had too many bikes
to remember but he currently has five in his stable…
three are roadworthy and
the other two are projects.
Alan has been riding
(legally) since 1958 when his
father and uncle bought him
his first bike, a 1948 ExArmy Norton 500cc 16H,
which he used to travel the 9
miles to and from his bonded
apprenticeship.
His best ride (on a motorbike…) was at the Isle of
Man and his longest recent
ride has been to Sydney.
Alan’s favourite bike has
been his Kawasaki W650.

Kianinny BBQ – by Les
Well, a few Wednesday’s ago we
had a pleasant surprise waiting for
us at our coffee and blah blah at
Tathra. Young Rob invited any
and all to an impromptu BBQ
lunch at Kianinny boat ramp and
picnic site.
Eight of us Karen, Rob, John, Tony, Graham, Bruce, Ross and myself were able come.
The weather capital P, perfect.
The venue, 9 out of 10.
The ride was an arduous one and
two rider's, due to extreme fatigue
and galloping hunger and thirst
missed the last turnoff and rode
on and on for at least 400metres
only to arrive at a lookout. Never
fear, Bruce with his seafarer's
longsight put his hand to his brow
and shouted " thar they be-Landlubber Ulyssians BBQing!!-so we struck out around another
bend, this time our noses leading
us truly to a great snag
feast!!.
Rob had all the works for a good
BBQ - snags, onion, bread, coffee
and tea.
We all genuinely had a lovely relaxing, refreshing hour or so, with
the park to ourselves and able to
watch a few boaties
and pelicans going
about their business.
Thank you Rob!
