VMCC – Seaside Run – The Write Up

The Seaside run always has a good showing and seems as it’s on our door step it would be rude not to. As usual we left from The Station Inn and was soon greeted by a heavy rain shower enroute to Penarth. The carpark is normally a show in itself but we had to hide from the rain until the off. On this run you have to play by the VMCC rules so bikes older than 25 years however every year some of the VMCC members normally bring a few modern bikes due to breakdowns and such but we always abide by the spirit of the ride.

This year due to an event in Barry we knew we were skipping that this year but it lead to a number of people going the wrong way. Thankfully once we got out of Penarth the rain ended for the majority of the day. There is definately something fun about riding the country lanes in covoy on the old bikes. Nash Point is always a cracking place to be but once again we were blessed with the sun being out.

The best bit of the run tho is the sunday lunch but after a quick look at the weather we knew we were chancing our luck and a dark cloud looming above we made a break for the motorway home and not go back to Penarth like normal. We didnt get wet again and still had a cracking morning. If you missed it this year line it up in your plans next year it never dissapoints and always a good run to shakedown recent projects.

The 39th Carole Nash Bristol Classic MotorCycle Show – The Write Up

So, after a false start due to the snow we finally got the year kicked off with a show. Somewhat local for us of the big shows, our excited members pulled out all the stops to make it a great one.


Due to the rescheduled show we had a belter of a stand in one of the main side thorough fairs. A big thank you goes to the Friday team who got the stand all sorted, it really does take some effort to get it all ready. We had a great selection of bikes and certainly had a lot of interest in the stand.


The show itself perhaps suffering a little from the reschedule with a few stands fewer than normal and the traders sending the B team but there was still enough there to keep everyone entertained. A great selection of bikes as always and enough moto jumble to keep most people on the lookout for parts rummaging through the bins.

The Weekend made all the sweeter by the rugby score, with smug face in full effect the Sunday went very quickly. Even with potential mechanical shenanigans in the convoy home we had a cracking weekend. There really is nothing better than some beers, bikes and banter. But beating England comes close.
