Ever wondered what it’s like to ride a bike with hand gear change and a lever for a throttle? The VMCC are offering anyone the chance to experience this. If you’re not a VMCC member then you can get a day’s membership for £3 plus £30 for the training and the opportunity to pilot up to 10 of these old gems. There are three training days this year but you have to book early as this deal was heavily oversubscribed last year and it’s no good just turning up on the day.
South Sunday 01/05/2011, Arborfield Barracks, Nr Reading, Berkshire.
North/Scotland Sunday 22/05/2011, Lanark Auction Market, Lanarkshire, Scotland.
Midlands Bank Holiday Monday 30/05/2011, Curborough, Nr Litchfield, Staffordshire.
Owners of 1920s and 1930s hand change machines will be available to give instruction in the art of riding for those willing to brave lever throttles and tank mounted gear sticks! James Hewing, CEO of the VMCC stated: “Vintage Training Day is a wonderful opportunity to introduce people to the joys of Vintage Motorcycling and is very much in keeping with the ethos of the Club. In this way we can help to ensure that the oldest machines are learned about, preserved and most importantly, used by a new generation of motorcyclists. With three training days this year we are appealing for hand change Veteran Motorcycle owners to contact us if they can bring their machines along and help us.”
