    Dunno about the rest, but they pay me to be a member. :)
    ....and, indeed, the most common attitude amongst members is positively
    non-political.
    There is always the Howard government.

    you need an adult literacy course, or two or three

    Conehead dribbled yet again:
    ::: nope ! there is only the one club
    ::: and lotsa branches
    ::: which have no say whatsoever in the operation of Ulysses Club Inc
    ::
    :: They have a say each year at the AGM (or, in your words, "so-called
    :: AGM"). So does any member who wants to.

    seeing as you are such an experienced long time member of UC
    and have attended so many annual gatherings of Ulysses Club Inc
    you would know the difference between
    the week long gathering which is referred to as the Annual General Meeting
    and the official Annual General Meeting (AGM) which is held on the Saturday
    and includes election of office bearers

    branches as such have no say at the AGM, only individual members

    what a pity you are illiterate and have never been able to read
    the minutes of Natcom or that excellent publication "Riding On"

    ::::: they have a national committee,
    :::
    ::: which does what it likes, how it likes, when it likes
    ::
    :: which follows the dictates of the membership

    sez you !

    ::
    :: You sound like a stupid prick who would join a bowls club and demand
    :: the right to play golf on the green, or rink, or whatever it is.

    and you sound like an illiterate know-it-all ....

    :: As long as I've been a Ulysses member (member # in the 7,000's),
    :: people have joined and then decided that the Ulysses Club would be
    :: far better off if it did exactly what the new member decided it
    :: should.

    sez you !!

    ::
    :: Dumb pricks who sit at home and pontificate about what "apparently"
    :: happened at a meeting they didn't attend deserve scorn and derision.

    dum pricks who sit at home and pontificate about matters they
    don't understand, because they can't read proper
    also get the scorn and derision you deserve

    :: So, Barry, cop a bit of scorn & derision to go with your jumped-up
    :: ideas that you have the right to bitch about a club that you chose
    :: to join.

    you can't read, can you ?
    you certainly don't understand either what has happened in Cantberra
    or what I and others have been saying
    nor do you understand that I am not critical of the Ullysses Club
    but I am highly critical of the manner in which Natcom
    continues to act

    :: Better still....do us all a favour and resign.

    no thanks - why don't you do us all a favour and FOAD


    :: I'll personally refund your membership fee.

    ha ! bloody ha ha !!

    I'm starting to get an idea of where your nom de guerre comes from

    good luck with your rehab
    and the literacy class

    no regards

    X-No-archive: yes
    enough reason to part with a shitload of cash (more so than many other clubs
    I have been associated with I might add). ...

    I think it was $5 for 5 years when I joined.....

    Clearly his definition of a shitload of cash and mine are very different.
    (in my view a shitload has at least 3 zero's).

    Ulysses Membership Renewal is currently $20.00 per year ($60.00 for 3 years
    and a $20.00 joining fee for new members)

    Most riders can usually get that back on discounts allowed by traders on
    goods (10% on a $500 jacket etc 5% on a set of tyres).

    My BMW Club is $50.00 per year so in comparison Ulysses is a bargain if you
    want to be a member.

    As for rockers on jackets, do as you like if you are willing to take the
    risk, personally I am amused by anyone wearing a "Cut-off" it is so very
    1960's.

    Yeah, my mistake - I clicked on the wrong map (I looked at the international member which was $140). A new aussie member is up for $80 for 3 years. Still not cheap for a club that doesn't give you a voice.

    I turned up at the North Sydney Hilton in 1985 (pre-booked) in a typical
    Sydney downpour wearing waxed cotton gear and dripping all over their lobby.
    After I removed the panniers from the Guzzi, a bell boy carried them to my
    room for me. I had to park the bike myself.

    I dunno, if I were trying to project the image of a tough guy, (which is
    even less likely than ZB pretending to be a ballet dancer) I'd be
    content with the notion that it took a champion kick boxer to lay me out.

    Heh. In similar circumstances, (late at night, dripping wet) an
    attendant at a classy (well, expensive) Brisbane hotel offered to take
    my bike up to the designated bike-parking area on the 6th floor of the
    carpark. "Mind you, I've never ridden a bike before, but I'm game if
    you are."

    Somewhat more embarrasing if you get KOed by a ballet dancer.

    (would that be taking a swan dive?)
