Ulysses - Pros and cons?

[Gremlin]

As with any club, perhaps tag along on the odd ride, and if you like, then join in. I've ridden with various Ulysses riders, and like any bunch of motorcyclists, they vary in what they want/do/act etc. It's likely it will vary from region to region as well, as the members are the face of the club...

They are usually well meaning, often branches do a lot of proactive things like trying to improve the skills of their riders, which is to be commended.

Of course, I'm more than a decade from being able to join, who knows if I'll want to when I'm that ancient

Perhaps its being able to also remember their "back when I was a boy" stories and realising you are over their minimum age.

You can get an official sticker for your CAR that says you are a bike safe driver.

when ulysses started 20 odd years ago it wa born about cause the 40 year olds couldn't stand the 20 year olds.
Now those 40 year olds are 60 year olds and they can't stand the 40 year olds. Any time you look like youre going to have agood time your frowned upon...

They have no events to my knowledge that are open to all most you're allowed to bring a friend but pretty well a closed shop in terms of meeting other people and tolerating all.
good ferry discount means it's worth joining though
