For those members who’ve not been paying attention, Andy Strapz is closing down at the end of June. Saturday June 6th will be their last Saturday opening. To mark that occasion and to provide an opportunity to say farewell and see you out in the road, Andy is inviting customers to call in on Sat 6th for a chat and maybe a few bargains in the run-out box

PRESS RELEASE

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Andy Strapz Final Saturday Knees-Up

As the crew at Andy Strapz start to pack away their scissors and thread, they’ll celebrate their 30 years in the Motorcycle Industry with their last Saturday Open Day on June 6th.

The May social night has been and gone, a bit quieter than usual as people have either set off or are heading off to QLD for the National Rally. Enjoy😀

The ride calendar still has a vacancy for Sunday 31st May, if someone has a ride in mind, I'd love to hear from you. Perhaps something to the north or west?

Cheers John Cook

The following is an extract from the Vic Premier's website:

" How 20% off rego works

From 1 June, eligible vehicle owners can apply for 20% off rego through Service Victoria.

Applications will be open until 31 July – so you have two months to claim the rebate.

The rebate will refund you back 20 per cent of your registration payment for 2025/26.

It will be open to Victorians who own light vehicles for personal use: cars, utes, and anything under 4.5 tonnes.

I must have had a "memory moment", as I've still got a gap on the ride calendar. Can anyone please help me out as a ride leader on Sunday 3rd May? It doesn't have to be complex. Lilydale or Epping and heading north or Eildon way perhaps?

Brian has already listed the Odyssey starting 9th October at Wangaratta again. Never too early to book a cabin at Painters Island. Details still being polished but there will be a ride up on the Friday and a day ride on the Saturday. A great weekend away and the opportunity to socialise with Ulysseans from further afield.

Please keep an eye on the calendar for upcoming social events and rides.

I believe the combined ride to south west Victoria and the pub lunch at Smythesdale with other branches and people was a success - a report has been published
