Ulysses 'A' team
The 'A' Team is a group of riders from the Auckland Branch of the ULYSSES CLUB OF NEW ZEALAND Inc, which is captained and coached by Trevor. The bikes used are the riders road machines, so they are large, heavy cruisers, tourers or sports tourers, which are certainly not purpose built for tight manouvres in confined space.
These guys can have as much fun going round in ever diminishing circles as they can on a long ride on the highway. You can catch their public displays from time to time at charity rides around the North Island.
The video above was filmed at the 2010 WIMA Pink Ribbon Ride, and the team on this occasion was:
- John Heebink - BMW KHT 1200
- Ole Falkenhaug - Suzuki Bandit
- Robert Leeper - Kawasaki Nomad
- Arthur Davies - Harley Davidson Heritage
- Dave Mathews - Victory Deluxe
- Trevor Birchall - Triumph Rocket 111
Normal rules apply:
Children, do not try this at home,
unless you are prepared to scratch chrome off your scooter on tight
turns, and to be made mock of by your team-mates when you zig when you
should have zagged - and be prepared to practice for hours and hours.
