Avoid Parking Your Motorcycle Over Winter. Here's How!
Inspired by our recent Annual Brass Monkey Run this episode we discuss the topic of Winter Riding. Some shelve their bikes over the wet colder months, but is this necessary? No way, but there are many ways to take the 'cold and discomfort' out of Winter riding.
And being as we mention the Brass Monkey Run, we thought we would start by taking you along on this now Annual Event which this year saw a group of 'Flogs' brave cold weather and head to the Victorian Country Town of Echuca and Moama.
And the boys are very excited to discuss and open up our first Super Charity Fundraiser.
The 2024 Aussie Bikers 4 Aussie Kids Raffle will raise thousands of dollars for two charities that help Aussie Kids.
The first 'Bikers Against Child Abuse' works tirelessly to help, support and protect child victims of crime.
australia.bacaworld.org/
The Second, 'Country Hope' provides financial support to sick kids in Rural Areas. They help support not just the kids but their families and are a vital circuit breaker for those that are in need.
www.countryhope.com.au/
The entire HC&2AF's Crew are proud to support both these charities, and we promise that 100% of profits from this raffle will go 100% to these charities. Please support us in supporting these two awesome charities.

    Another great episode boys. Doesn't take much to stay warm (and dry) as long as you have good gear. The old adage - you get what you pay for, is certainly true with motorbike clothing. Another benefit of getting out into the hills on those cold wet days is you don't have to compete with all the fair weather riders and have the roads to yourself. Great to see Dave from 'Dave's Channel' contributing, he puts a fair amount of k's on his bike and his trip across Australia is a good watch. Looks like the Brass Monkey was a ripper, couldn't make this year's event but hopefully next year. Keep up the great work.

      How long is a piece of string. Again it depends on what bike, which service (kms) you are doing and if you need extra like air filter replacement etc. There are some variables. BUT they do have $100 off for viewers of HC&2AFs if you book in anytime this month. Give them a call for a quote.

    Interesting comment about lady riders. Being a lady rider, it did not occur to me you were not including lady riders in your conversations and rides. Flogs are all riders . Regardless of gender we all love to ride. Once you start going down the track of labelling, you start missing the point. Our love and passion for riding.

    I'm back in Canada now but grew up in the UK, I've had one accident on the road, and That was as a Tractor-Trailer that pulled away from the lights at the bottom of one of their terrible 3 piece flyovers, so I had been forced to Brake hard downhill, and as the trailer moved off, he revealed a lane plus by100yd long covering of the road surface, with a Gelitain like substance. I got off the Brakes just in time, and tried just cruising through it but just before the end down I went, Hard. The only thing that stopped the Car following me, and sliding everywhere, was my Crash helmet, luckily a good one Luckily. Nobody was hurt but my Brand new Bike, my first Big one after the L plates came off was pretty Banged up, I got away with a chipped elbow and some bruises and the Car driver needed a new suit, but that was it. When I got my insurance claim my #yr no claims bonus was gone, because the Cops wrote a single-vehicle accident due to incorrect speed for road conditions. Fast Forward some 20+yrs and sadly my loverly wife was Killed, I was the lead bike, and I was speeding through the corners until I approached the last corner, which was a blind sweeper, Brenda wasn't as confident and she was at the speed limit, or below. As I entered the corner, an off-chamber jobbie, with 4 gravel rds entering into it so one you watched I noticed it was covered in marble-sized Gravel, a local Farmer had rented his yard, to Hwy Construction Firms and the Guy operating the Tractor loading Dump trucks had strewn this Gravel all over the Rd and simply left it. I slowed as I got into the corner by down-shifting, To warn Brenda, she lost control early after entry, and instead of just letting go she fought it, and ended up going into the oncoming Lane and was Killed instantly, the Bike was wrecked. I had her daughter on the back who luckily didn't see it, I did in the rear view mirror. The couple in the SUV could do nothing, there was no time the way that corner is due to the Hills, They were very nice to her Daughter and although in shock, helped as much as possible I was very grateful to them. The Cops kept us there from about 8pm until a little after midnight, with constant Questioning and pissing me off more and more, as I wanted to be with my wife, Finally after a sworn statement, I was released. Witnesses who saw the accident and were walking their dog, this being a little travelled Rd, gave statements and told me, that she wasn't speeding and that was in their statements to the Cops. Outcome! The Cops wrote this up as a single-vehicle accident due to "speeds inappropriate for road conditions", they charged the couple who Helped in the SUV, with "Driving too fast for the road conditions". That cost me the Insurance coverage, as it was her fault, in a no-fault system? no mention, nor any charges were laid against me, for threatening a police officer and assaulting road workers, who were busily cleaning up the Gravel, before the accident assessment squad arrived. I'm a Full SAE member Engineer and had considered taking that course and had looked into it, through the SAE, I knew exactly what they were doing. Hence my temper got the better of me, and I thumped some, who didn't stop sweeping! The Cop was on the Radio all the time as he couldn't control me, and the injured members of the cleaning crew were complaining. At least by the time they left, some Gravel was present, and mention of strange-sized gravel was made, in a report? I should have gone to jail? I continued to kick up a stink about it, admitted I had assaulted workers, and would laid out the Cop! All was swept away, as no township or city in Ontario will admit to being at fault in a road accident caused by them. So no assault charges could be laid, the other couple's charges were later dropped and Finally They made a $20,000 payment to her daughter's college fund, with no admission of guilt, I was never charged or even mentioned as anything other than a witness. It is a worldwide policy I was told, always single-vehicle accidents! and especially if road works are at fault.

I only hope the point behind it is not lost, I'm 200 lbs of trained old-school self-defence offensive Warrior, and at the time my conditioning was second to none. So they had a control issue on their hands, the press was there she was much loved in the community. Optics wouldn't have been great if they tried using force, they thought about it? Second, The dispute started over my wife's body just being left in the road, and they didn't want me sitting with her, hence the try and Fucking stop me response. All this time the Focus was really on scene clean-up rather than any kind of decency! this is 20yrs on now and my Daughter-in-law is an Insurance exec, which makes life touchy at times, but she has confirmed what I've said, the Insurance companies use their multinational position to influence, judicial matters concerning, Motorcycle traffic accidents and the handling of them both by police, layers and municipalities Globally as they pay regardless at all levels and this is plural a cost managing exercise, hence always worded in terms of the motorcyclist's fault/ My real issue was the way my wife body was being treated that night, don't forget we were being held there for nearly 8 hrs with Her left laying in the Road, and trying to tell me I couldn't go and sit with Her, what would you be like. Secondly, there was no scene preservation, they actually called out local road crews to clean away the Gravel, while I was sitting with but on a promise not to touch my wife. This was when the Road crews arrived and started cleaning away the Gravel before the crime scene Guys could get there? That was when the fight started, I took their Brooms away broke them and flung them in the Field. There's a lot to this, and I don't want to be a bore, but as long as they can keep this silenced with Single Vercle accident while lying about the real reason's "cost" and motorcyclists are still seen as dispensable until they happen across the odd wrong customer, like me, not only challenging physically, but also qualified, and that was the only reason her daughter got the Miserble $20,000 settlement. If this was in say US courts the settlements would be astronomical and that's what they fear, they still exert their influence down there but do have a harder job thanks to the US Constitution, and not the Feckless, copying of the top-down British legal System. As a point of interest, this is a small group of older established Canadian communities or at least it was! Speaking, to our local Gas station/repair shop /Tow/Truck operators, who by the way were the closest to the scene that night but were never called to take the Bike away. He asked, "Where's your wife today, working"? I replied, no she was killed up the Rd here a few weeks ago on all that Gravel, he quickly added, Oh no was that Her, that's been going on for a while and that he had lost control of his 4 wheel-raised pick-up truck, built for Mudding, Now If he can't keep that on the road, and He's the Tractor Trailer tow truck Son in the business and they had already answered numerous incidents, regarding this Corner and that particular Gravel, Why by the time my wife was basically Murdered, Had something not been done? His accident was also listed as a Single-vehicle accident, and the cause was the same, "Speeding" or driving at speeds unsuitable for the road conditions? usually followed by a ticket, in these incidents speeding tickets are never issued. Now, write me off as just an angry bereaved Husband, and say there isn't something malevolent, to suit their own interests at play here. Sorry for the length but if you read it, you'll understand this is a very complex issue, and I really had them bang to rights, and I'm a scrapper. yet I still couldn't get anywhere, There was an outcry in the Local communities, the local paper was flooded by it, the Town hall and a lot of flags at half mast for the week, but no paper would speak with me.
