Trouble with the Ulysses club is that if you pull a wheelie then you get an email telling you not to be disgraceful, to much political crap, that's why I left the club, they even had a go at my Biker name Tongue that was given to me by a member of the club years before I joined. I'd rather be independent.

Dom, this is like having my own story told to me only my parents stayed together. All happened at the same point in our lives though. I'm 52 now and have been riding for 13 years, Dad got his license when he was 75 and is now a Ulysses member. Mum passed away in late 2019 and now it is Dad and his 2 sons and we all ride. We haven't had the conversation yet and we need to. Thanks for this documentary, it was a very brave thing to do to confront a fallen superhero. When I get the chance I'm going to do it as we can't move forward in a meaningful way until it gets put to rest. I hope that your Dad travels safely, wherever he may be going. Incidentally, we were a Geelong family too!

i was a bit of a Man Whore during the early 80's and did some adventure on two bikes around the World. I eventually found a solid and beautiful Woman and then had the temporary opportunity of being with her for 3 months short of 25 years. Never once did I ever need nor to step out. I miss her Big Time on my motorcycle adventures in the past 5 years. I still hate coming home to an empty House. I feel sorry for people who can't make the marriage work. In my case, she'd still be with us if divorce was the issue; but she's gone from me ever more.

I was a student at moriac primary school and he was our principal, I had no idea he was going through all this. Such an amazing man and he came to my brothers funeral when I was such a young boy and I remember that day of his kindness. It must of been difficult to go through this with your family Dominic you are all amazing to be there for dad and your mum. My wife is watching this as I write this she is from brasil and I hope one day we can all get together for a feed. Love the docomuntary!!

Nice min film...much in common here. I am a minister, who loves riding. Been riding since I was 7. Raced, had fun, = love with being a musician. But my family split when I was 17. 2 selfish parents who couldn't see it to stay together. Now- at 55+, my daughter gets the leftovers of blended families. Cause my dad married 3 times, and mom married 2 times and lives with another. My daughter gets nothing. Hardly phone calls, visits, and affection...only what is left over. My wife of 31 years and I try to do the best we can, but we still feel the ripples of the split. My daughter got married last month. Dad came with his wife, but my mom did not attend. My brother is on his 3 marriage too, and has 4 children who we are not even close to. All of us live in different states, very far away. So sad. But God is good. I am still a minister and just see the broken-ness from fabric of family that breaks up. Messed up society is the result. But I do enjoy my motorcycle club because it is a bit like a family. And maybe that is why motorcycle clubs are growing and growing. Sad, but needed.

I'm sorry but the way you say..but god is good , is the same way I hear abused women saying...but at least he doesn't hit the kids?! Its genuinely painful to hear what you've been through and the obvious pain it still causes you. My mother has been married 6 times, i think. my father died on the phone talking shit on my mother and little brother during a phone call with me. what i have learned is family is who YOU choose them to be. my parents are just the same flawed humans as i am, no less, no more. god is a creation of man and not the other way.

May God bless and comfort each of you that experienced similar things with your parent or parents.I understand that hole in your heart as my dad explained how his dads drunk and abusive behavior was something my dad could never get out of his mind.Dad always had times of anger because of his dad.But you that have gone thru similar things have an added purpose and that is to share with your kids and use your wisdom to break that chain of behavior .Thanks for sharing this story.As I approach 70 I too use my motorcycle as a pressure release and I guess at times a cover.For me it is very therapeutic.

Having been a member of Ulysses for many, many years I can vouch for the authenticity and camaraderie of a truly great social club for motorcyclists. With 130 Branches across Australia and 15 overseas ( eg New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, France, Great Britain, Vietnam, . . ) there is always a friend to help with your travels.
