Presidents Report
There were some long sleeve shirts & jack-
ets displayed, which had been requested by
members for those days that were too hot to
wear a heavy jacket, but still needed to pro-
tect from the sun. Those members that were
interested were asked to see Glenda after the
meeting to get an idea on how many she
needed to order. They would range in price
from $35.00 to $40.00.
There are still a couple of IHC bike plates
available from the Department of Transport
for a change over fee of $24.00.
Members can see Glenda if they are inter-
ested.
The Presentation Day that has been held
in the middle of the day due to past popu-
larity will stay the same.
Bob mentioned that the proposal to increase
the fee for the Sunday rides to $5.00 would
continue until the next AGM.
John Presland has suggested that at the next
AGM if we can ask for a show of hands to
raise the membership fees by $10.00 and
abolish the fee for the Sunday rides we
would raise the same amount of money.
Those that went on regular rides would in
fact pay for the increase in their member-
ship by just attending 2 rides.
Captains Report
Midweek PM 9-7-2014 13 Rid-
ers 1 passenger
In the absence of vice-captain who called in
sick and captain who went ahead to Yarloop
to set up afternoon tea, John P. led the group
along Forrest Hwy, Myalup/Harvey Rd,
Government Rd, and Johnson Rd to the
tourist gazebo where Amanda & I had after-
noon tea waiting. Unfortunately Faye had an
incident resulting in a footrest breaking off
which took a bit to sort out. Thanks to John
C. who replaced it with one of his rear foot-
rests enabling Faye to complete the return
journey. It was a very happy group who en-
joyed afternoon tea and socialising, heading
for home about 315pm. Thanks to Amanda
for helping out.
Restoration Ride 13-7-2014 23 Rid-
ers 4 Passengers
Waiting at Entertainment Centre car park I
was beginning to wonder if I had the correct
day. Finally riders started arriving with an
array of old bikes. Glen explained there was
no back-up and no route sheet as we were
just going to ride out to Boyanup visit Norm
& Margaret then continue on to Murray &
Sharon's for morning tea, and look at their
collection of vintage stuff. There were a few
extras who journeyed on 4 wheels. With
good weather it was a very successful day.
Thanks to Norm & Margaret, Murray &
Sharon and of course Kelly who buzzed
around making sure everything was done.

Busso Boys AM Ride 16-7-2014 8 Riders 1
Passenger
9 starters including 2 Bunburyites rode thru
Vasse through the hills around Yallingup fin-
ishing at Dunsborough for coffee then fol-
lowed the back roads on return to Busselton
finishing about 1200.
Midweek AM 23-7-2014 11 Riders
1 Passenger
While I was enjoying the lovely weather in
Sydney and who knows what the vice-
captain was doing, John C. was in charge of
the ride to Capel to sample the new bakery.
Unfortunately it turned into the comedy ride.
I am led to believe that there was major traf-
fic mayhem trying to get in and out of Bun-
bury due to truck hitting bridge over the
Preston River and several impatient drivers
having end-to-ends resulting in John having
to be a bit innovative and ride the median
strip to reach Dolphin Centre. When the
group finally left the chaos and arrived in
Capel there was no power, so no bakery de-
lights to be had however the group, including
some Busso’s, found a small café, The Fat
Bird, with power where they managed to all
cram in. Unfortunate for some of the gentile
ladies of Capel who meet there for Coffee.
Thanks to John C. for herding everyone in
the right direction. It was a happy ending for
Bunbury & Busso members. I received a
memo from John "Never Ever deputise "JC"
to be ride leader again".
Mick Turners Rigid & Girder 27-7-2014
22 Participants
Weather not looking real good at start, how-
ever 18 riders & Bolt with 2 passengers in a
rigid U.S. jeep left the Entertainment centre
travelling thru Eaton, Waterloo, Burekup and
Ferguson to Mick's Mobile morning tea in
Wellington N.P. After everyone finished and
headed off, a lonely rider came along expect-
ing a cappuccino, John C. who had mixed up
the departure point Ho Hum. Riding thru
Ferguson, Boyanup, Dardanup West,
Gelorup we arrived at our destination where
the barbeque was in full flight. As always
TEAM TURNER did a magnificent job plan-
ning and organising the entire event. Well
Done and Thank You.
Busso Boys Midweek 30-7-2014 8 Riders
Bit of a miserable morning however, the
lonely captain meet Busso's at Rotary Park.
After following Darryl around the back-
blocks we arrived at Yallingup for morning
tea. Where there was a fair bit of discussion
on various subjects. I decided to back to
Bunbury while the remainder headed for
Smiths Beach and Canal rocks where they
did a bit of sun-worshipping and meditation
before returning back to Busselton, a total of
approx. 100kms
Country Run 10-8-2014 21 Riders 3
Passengers
The day turned into a magnificent spring day
for the ride formally known as the Capel
Country run. Travelling Forrest Hwy, Clifton
Rd," good old cow poo road" Alma Rd the
group made their way thru Burekup to Dow-
dell’s Line, Ferguson Rd arriving at park at
Dardanup where we had morning tea wait-
ing. It was a good social gathering and it was
good to see some Manji riders and especially
good to see Ron Cassels arrive with Muriel
Melvin, following his run of ill health. By
about 1100 people decided they better leave
although I think they would have stayed for
rest of day. Thanks to Neville W. & Cathy
for back-up and course planning also to Lyn
B. for helping once again. It appears that the
Mandurah mob encountered bad weather for
their planned ride and just managed to make
it to a coffee shop.
DON’T FORGET THAT BACK-UP
WILL BE $5.00 COMMENCING WITH
MICK TURNER'S RUN

General Business
Bob briefly discussed the Lake Perkolilli
Run and told members that there was infor-
mation and expressions of interest forms
available.
Ray Jordan also said that he has infor-
mation on the event if members wished to
contact him.
Bob said Bolts email would be discussed
further at Committee level, and a response
would be sent to him and tabled at the next
General meeting in Correspondence out.
After a query from Rod Chessell regarding
donations, Bob stressed that anyone of our
members can pass around a hat and collect
for charitable organizations. They just can’t
say it is from the IHC incorporated, it has
to be stated that the donation is from the
Members of the IHC.
Faye said that the publications from the
Vintage Motorcycle Club of the UK would
be in future given to Amanda to incorporate
into the Library.
That way all members are able to have ac-
cess to them.
After a query from Russell Jeffrey to add to
one of the proposed changes to the Consti-
tution, Bob suggested that it would delay
the constitutional changes even further if it
was done at this late date, and would be
better done just before the next AGM.
Ross Eaton said that Ray Jordan was now
unable to do the back-up for the Wheatbelt
Run and asked for volunteers.
Glenda volunteered on behalf of Patto, and
Ross Carn also volunteered.
Ross Eaton said that the course was already
mapped out and the route sheets just need-
ed to be printed.
John Lewin spoke about Les James the
state leader of the Black Dog Ride who was
tragically killed on the ride, and said that
family chose to have the ride continue in
his honour.
