Club Events

The Club run many sorts of events from our fortnightly weekend rides, through to overnighters or weekends away (not to be missed) to our fantastic Fun Day events at the Phillip Island circuit.  This is the place to keep your eye on to see what is happening. 

Events may appear here before registration is open. If  the event is a limited-numbers event, there may be a wait list option for you to put your name down in case anyone cancels. 

Many events are free, some are not, some events require a deposit or full payment up front, some events have limited numbers.  So, be sure to check the event details by clicking on the event below.  In the event that you are no longer able to attend a paid for event we do have a Refund Policy which you can review here.

Only financial club members may book an event, although unless the event is specified as 'members only', a club member may book for their non-members guests.  Again, check the event details.  

Note: all events are run under permit by Motorcycling Australia Permit # MA2517

    BYO food and drink. Guests welcome. The night will be hot and dry or cold and wet, it always was.

    Summer is here and the beach is a calling. Its time for some Vitamin D on the bones. Departing from Butler's 0900 sharp.

    The plan is to meander down through Mirboo Nth, Meeniyan, Fish Ck. Have lunch in Venus Bay then return via Inverloch, Wonthaggi.

    This is a big ride and better suited to the experienced rider.

    The whole trip will be aprox 400km
