Full Throttle Relaunched!
For those of us who can remember the club in the nineties and noughties, Full Throttle was the name of our printed physical paper magazine.
It ran to over 130 editions!
Full Throttle has arisen in electronic form and will be published, posting on our website and sending it electronically to all members.
In the coming editions Full Thottle will be featuring member profiles, ride reports, long form articles about the club’s history, feature articles on related clubs, trivia, tech tips, bike reviews and articles of interest to the members in general.
The magazine will only improve with member input and we will be expecting contributions from everyone!

‘Windy Roads’; ‘Fireman Nick’; ‘Pothole Protest’ Welcome to the September edition of Full Throttle. This edition profiles Nick (the Fireman) Potter, reports on the Club ride to Maffra, presents some data regarding the bikes owned by members and
glimpses history from 30 years ago.
Among the events coming up is the call for riders (and other road users) to participate in a protest about the state of Victoria’s roads.
The catalyst for this was the sad death of motorcyclist, Peter (Tiki) Mason, who lost his life after reportedly losing control of his motorcycle after hitting a pothole on the Western highway at Trawalla.
Any road user, particularly those who ride or drive in the country, would be well aware of the poor condition of our roads.

‘Torquay by Boat’; ‘Damage Done’ Welcome to the August edition of Full Throttle.

We have a few events coming up. The September Club Ride is to Maffra on the 13th, the last MotoGP is being held at Phillip Island from Friday 23rd October to Sunday the 25th (with Jimmy Barnes performing on the Saturday evening) which will attract a Club ride, the Norton Owners Club ‘Flowerdale Combined Run’ is scheduled for Sunday the 1st of November (see details later in this newsletter), and the Christmas Party in Seymour is locked in for the 5th of December.
Keep an eye on our Website and Socials for updates and further details.
What will be a shock to many, I can report that after less than 12 months operation Essendon Triumph has closed its doors
