If your 2020 calendar is looking a little empty, then here’s a selection of events being organised by enthusiast clubs that should appeal to the classic rider…
There’s still time (if you’re quick) to enter the DRAGON RALLY which takes place on Sat/Sun 8/9 February somewhere in Wales. Organised by the Conwy MCC as a non-profit event, the rally costs £30 and attendees need to supply SAEs to be sure of getting their instructions and tickets. Online payment is possible.

Following the successful inaugural VMCC north-west area joint section BIKE MEET hosted by Ghost Bikes of Preston last April, it has now been confirmed that Ghost Bikes will host a second event on Saturday 9 May. It is hoped to develop the event by the attendance of one-make owners’ clubs, some motorcycle dealer displays and a small autojumble.

Held in Dorset, it’s exclusively for bikes with girder forks of any age, there’s no date cut-off. 80 entries last year and over a hundred expected this time.
