558.0. "Old Motorbikes?" by XNOGOV::KAREN (when you wish upon a star...) Tue May 05 1992 14:14

On Bank Holiday Monday we were out walking in Bramley and happened 
upon scores and scores of old fashioned motorbikes - Triumphs, 
Nortons and the like - heading through the village towards 
Sherfield-on-Loddon.  They seemed to be in some sort of rally as they 
were all numbered.  It was a curious sight to see so many of them all 
together and I just wondered if anyone knows what it was all about?

Thanks,

Karen

    Karen,
    
      Yes, it was a Classic Bike Rally. I believe it was organised by
    the Lions Club (sp?). My Father-in-Law, and Brother-in-Law were
    both there with there own 'restored from a heap of rust' classic
    British Bikes.
    
      This happen fairly frequently, and I believe there is one in
    September. If you are interested, I can get you more details.
