TRELLA meets ATHENS SUPERBIKE CLUB!! Η ΤΡΕΛΛΑ συναντά την ΛΕΣΧΗ ΣΟΥΠΕΡΜΠΑΪΚ της ΑΘΗΝΑΣ

These are some photos of a very hospitable Superbike Club in Athens (www.superbikeclub.gr) that organised a fantastic ride to the well known and beautiful (and classical Greek) destination of Epidaurus, about 140 klms west of Athens on a gorgeous Sunday weatherwise with top temps about 17-19oC, that is on the 12 January 2014. Needless to say that on the Athens to Corinth highway, the speeds were between 180-260 klms per hour and probably even more and these were sustained during the ride!!

The Club has coffee meetings weekly and some night rides as well as Sunday all day rides or half day rides. In the club there are very nice persons like Grigoris on a Hayabusa, Yiannis on a CBR1000 2007, Apostolis on R1, Lambros on a CBR1000 2008, Ilias on a Hayabusa to mention only a few names in the group. Well done to our Hellene friends for keeping up high with the supersport bike club culture despite any challenges of the current times. Note that mirrors, indicators and....number plates are almost non-existent when riding!! NOW THAT IS....TRELLA!!

Εδώ θα δει κανείς μερικές φωτογραφίες από την πολύ φιλόξενη Λέσχη Σούπερμπαϊκ της Αθήνας (www.superbikeclub.gr) η οποία οργάνωσε μία φανταστική βόλτα στην πασίγνωστη και πανέμορφη (και αρχαία ελληνική) τοποθεσία της Επιδαύρου, περίπου 140 χλμ δυτικά της Αθήνας την Κυριακή 12 Ιανουαρίου 2014 υπό πανέμορφες καιρικές συνθήκες και ανώτερη θερμοκρασία τους 17-18oC. Περιττό να ειπωθεί πως στον αυτοκινητόδρομο Αθηνών-Κορίνθου, οι ταχύτητες έφταναν μεταξύ 180-260 χλμ ανά ώρα και ίσως περισσότερο και αυτές διατηρόντουσαν καθόλη την διάρκεια της εκδρομής.

Η Λέσχη έχει εβδομαδιαίες καφεσυναντήσεις και μερικές νυχτερινές εξορμήσεις καθώς και ολοήμερες ή μισοήμερες Κυριακάτικες βόλτες. Εντός της Λέσχης υπάρχουν πολύ ωραία άτομα όπως ο Γρηγόρης με Χαγιαμπούσα, ο Γιάννης με CBR1000 2007, ο Αποστόλης με R1, ο Λάμπρος με CBR1000 2008, ο Ηλίας με Χαγιαμπούσα για να ειπωθούν μερικά μόνο ονόματα της παρέας. Συγχαρητήρια στους Ελλαδίτες φίλους και συμπατριώτες μας για την ύψωση της κουλτούρας του μηχανοκίνητου αθλητισμού σε σούπερσπορτ μηχανές παρά τις οποιεσδήποτε δυσχέρειες της εποχής. Παρακαλώ, παρατηρήσετε ότι οι καθρέφτες, τα φλασάκια αλλά και...οι πινακίδες είναι σχεδόν όλα άφαντα όταν οδηγάνε!! ΑΥΤΗ ΕΙΝΑΙ...ΤΡΕΛΛΑ!!

TRELLA Sports Motorcycle Friendship Group Sydney, NSW, Australia

"Trella" is a motorcycle friendship group, that commenced in the Summer of 1994-1995 composed of fully licensed high-powered sports enthusiast motorcycle riders who lived and live in Sydney or the surrounds and who enjoy their sports bikes!!

The word "trella" is the Greek word for "madness", as riders that join in, are passionate and have a great love for their sports machines! They take care of their "toy" and enjoy every ride they go on!

This has been the case of the existence of the group for over 17 years now by some full of motorbike-riding-passion Greek Australians but the group quickly expanded to encompass anyone with a high-powered sports motorbike and a respect for each other!!

Join in, be sensible, have some fun and ride safely always!
