Coinciding with the annual Brooklands Bike Show, on July 2 2017, Erica chose to make the show the destination for her planned ride-out. The early morning weather for the ride was far from promising, with heavy showers sweeping across the South. By the time the Club members were assembled

Verwood Heavy Horse Centre
Despite having rained virtually every day for a week, and with a final crescendo of non-stop and heavy rain overnight, there was a good turn-out for Godder’s run to The Verwood Heavy Horse Centre. Assembling at the ever-popular Loomies, around breakfast time on a sunny, Sunday morning, 30 July, among the chaos in the car park, we all found each other for a prompt 10.00am start.

Brackley Festival of Motorcycling
Chris Tite very kindly stepped up to organise a ride-out to the Brackley Festival of Motorcycling on 13 August at relatively short notice.

2017 Forge Day
20 August 2017
Unlike for the last event held at The Chiddingfold Forge, the sun was up and the sky was brilliant blue. This was an almost incongruous backdrop for a visit a modern day manifestation of Dante’s Inferno. Dave Wright, however, had generously offered his services....

Buckler's Hard run
17 September 2017
The direct route between Bahnstormer, Alton, and Buckler’s Hard is around 40 miles which, to say the least, would be a disappointing ride-out. Our planned route however, was nearer 70 miles and took in the full gamut ...
