VMCC
members are rarely stuck for the chance to ride their bikes.
The
Club sponsors a full calendar of events suited to girder fork bikes. Some rides
are divided into ‘short & long’ runs, or have alternative routes for
slower machines. A support vehicle
accompanies most rides and all rallies to cater for, as we politely refer to as
‘fail-to-proceed’ occurrences!
VMCC
members can also participate in ‘invitation events’ sponsored by other
historic motorcycle clubs at locations in NSW/ACT and interstate. Some are
included on the table below.
