Bernard Lakey grew up on a farm some 60 kilometers from Melbourne in Victoria. It was a genuine rural environment up to the late ’70s, when subdivisions started to change the area. In the ’60s, it was all horses and working dogs, but as the ’70s rolled on, motorbikes entered the scene — firstly as wrecks that were restored for thrashing around the farm, and then genuine road bikes. Bernard was loving the ride.
He was hooked, his road bikes started with the British: ’69 Norton 750 Fastback, ’68 Triumph Trophy, ’69 BSA Rocket 3. The mid-’70s saw the heavy Japanese bikes from Kawasaki & Honda match it with the Moto Guzzi 850T, amongst many others in the family. 40+ years of riding bikes, in 2018, he bought the Suzuki GS 500, continuing to commute the weeks away.
In 2019, he started the Queensland Branch of Certified Public Accountants Australia’s Sustainability — Accounting for Climate Change discussion group, as sustainability impacts every organisation and business. The group looks at how accounting standards are changing to incorporate ESG reporting, initially on a voluntary basis but step by step moving to mandated reporting as part of International Financial Reporting Standards.Eco Warrior Bernie and Evoke electric motorcycle.
