About Us

We have received a lot of questions abourt who we are and we think its reasonable that you all understand who the "party masters" are.

  • So who are we?
  • Social outcasts?
  • Yuppie Bikers?
  • Community retrobates?

Well quite frankly they probably fit all categories but one thing for sure they have a love of motorcycles and the family attached. Our vision has always been to get everyone together and party in a multi club, no brand good fun environment. Everyone celebrating together and appreciating being on two wheels with the wind in our face after all ...all bikers were created equal weren't they?

So firstly we should introduce the real founder of the Friday 13th Biker Gathering.... our good mate Ian Madill. Ian comes from Toronto in Canada and has been to many of the Friday 13th Biker Events in Port Dover. Sitting in the club one day Ian turns to Lou and says in his unique Aussie Canadian accent " you know Lou you should run Friday 13th here".

Well thats as simple as it was! Nothing more elaborate to report apart from the fact that Ian then buggered off to Canada and left us with the task. Well he came to the first one then nine events later and he hasn't managed to get back for another, but we excuse him as he decided to fly one of his sports planes into the deck. Word has it that Ian is well recovered and limiting himself to low flying on his Harleys. We have hopes to see him there in November and with Ian you just never know.

So then on to the dynamic duo....

So lets introduce Wayne Birrell.

Well what do we say about Wayne? Here he is doing what he does best, holding court and being totally in control. Wayne is a bit of a dark horse in that he holds an OAM from his military service where he was a warrant Officer Class One. So you might guess he is the one who gets things done, and as he says "leave the policy to Lou".

The important information is that Wayne rides "Elvis" the 95 anniversary Road King.

That leaves Lou Hatton

Well what can we say, here is Lou riding hard trying to keep up with riding mate "Speedy" as he always does.

Lou is the "ideas" man and met up with Wayne in Hobart during his last Army posting where Lou was the OC (you know the one the warrant officers made feel like they were in control).

Lou rides a 100th Anniversary Softail Deuce.

So this is "us"... the dynamic duo who work hard to make sure that the Friday 13th Biker Gathering is organized in some sort of fashion. But as you will see below we just hate doing all this event stuff.

Hope we will see you there.
