Learn to ride a vintage motorcycle

The Vintage Motorcycle Club (VMCC) has released 2010 dates for three training days where you’ll be able to get-to-grips with 1920s and 30s motorcycles.

The Vintage Motorcycle Training Days will all be held in May at the three locations listed below.
 
TRAINING DAY SOUTH
Sunday 2nd May 2010, Arborfield Barracks, Nr Reading, Berkshire.

TRAINING DAY NORTH/SCOTLAND
Sunday 23rd May 2010, Grampian Transport Museum, Alford, Aberdeenshire.

TRAINING DAY MIDLANDS
Monday 31st May 2010 (Bank Holiday), Curborough, Nr Litchfield, Staffordshire.

The Vintage Training Days give both VMCC members & non members the opportunity to experience the type of machine that they might not normally get the chance to ride.

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 throttle’s and tank mounted gear levers!

Entry fee is just £26.00 which will give the opportunity of riding at least 10 different Vintage machines.

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 learnt 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 machine along and help us in this most worthwhile endeavour”.
 
Places are limited and the VMCC advise early booking as no entries are taken on the day due to the events being so oversubscribed, closing date for entries is 31/03/10.

One day membership will be available for Non VMCC members at a cost of £3.00 which will allow them to enjoy the thrills of Vintage Motorcycling.
