MOTORCYCLE REPORT March – The Ides of March – Seasons of Mists and Mellow Fruitfulness… – officially the first month of autumn! Winter is on its way; get over it!! Past Events.
9th February – Noggin Night. This was well attended, with Pete from Dan Ornsby’s Ride Forever motorcycle courses giving a very well received talk on his background and just what the object of the courses were, and generally giving the course set down for 19th March a bit of a boost. 13th February – Moped Run. This was a complete wash-out, hosing down rain all day, and nobody turned up… 19th February – Clip-on Run. See elsewhere for the write-up by John Benn. Thanks John!! 26th February – Fish and Chip Run – Cancelled in favour of the Branch Annual Rally. This was to encourage motorcyclists to take part in the Annual Rally, but I’m not sure that was a success. Last time I heard there were several that had entered – in their VCC eligible cars, but only six on bikes… Future Events
