Ulysses Club - Clarence Valley Group

About Us

Welcome to the Clarence Valley Branch of the Ulysses Club.

The Ulysses Club is an Australian motorcycle club that caters for the needs of the more mature rider. Our motto.......... Grow Old Disgracefully.

The name of the club comes from a poem of the same title by Alfred, Lord Tennyson. It tells how the great Greek hero Ulysses, now middle-aged and securely in charge of his kingdom of Ithaca, is getting bored with things around him and longs to go adventuring again with his shipmates of old. It describes very well indeed the sort of person who still has enough spark to go on riding into middle and later years. The entire text of the poem can be found here.

Our aim is to provide ways in which older motorcyclists can get together for companionship and mutual support and to show by example that motorcycling can be an enjoyable and practical activity for riders of all ages.

Who can join ?

Any lady or gentleman who is over the age of 40, and who holds a current motorcycle license, or who is a regular partner of such a person, and over 40, is eligible to join. Until you reach the grand old age of 50, you will be a junior member, but with full membership rights and privileges. It’s just that you might have to help some of the seniors off their machines sometimes !

cheers,

your webmaster, Jim.
