Pat, one of our oldest members aged 72, is not a born again biker as he has been riding continuously since he was 16, (that's why he looks so tired)

He has covered over 450,000 miles during this time, and has owned a succession of bikes mainly British up to 1974, Norton singles chiefly, then Jap bikes, Honda CB750,Yamaha VX1000 sidecar and Yamaha XJ900 sidecar.

Pat was British sidecar sprint champion in the late fifties, and has attended 52 Isle of Man TT meetings, can anyone else in the club beat that! and saw the first 100mph lap of the TT circuit in 1957.

Pats present bikes are a 1951 James Comet, 1997 Honda C90 and a 1990 Yamaha XJ900 sidecar outfit which he still rides regularly to club meetings.

Tony's other interest, not so far apart from his main interest, is collecting model motorcycles. 

I have a Hinckley Triumph Speed Triple 04, this being my 4th Triumph, I am obviously a total convert, as they are probably the best in the world.

I also have 3 BSA’S, which I restored. In my younger years I did much travelling abroad with these bikes, on various BSA rallies, including the States for a month and Holland.

Dean has been a club member for two years now, and joined the committee in 2009.

His first bike on road was a Malaguti moped and has been a biker since age of 11 ( A very long time ago ) when he had a James Captain for "Field" use, progressed to Greeves 250ccc Challenge Moto-X, then once on road had  a Triumph Trophy 250cc, several Bonnevillles, Matchless 650cc then several Trial/Trail bikes including Bultaco 250cc, XT500, XL500 and Yamaha XS750, Kawasaki GPZ1000, Harley 1200 Sportster.

But now ride the ultimate Triumph, The 2300cc Rocket III, probably the best motorcycle in the world.

Seen here at the 2008 club picnic at Woburn Park.

I enjoy going to the shows and weekends away that the club arranges and the fact that families are made welcome.

Here are The Honorary members of the Club; all long standing members from the early days:

Updated March 2010

I joined the club late in 1963 when the club HQ was at the Man in the Moon in Stevenage. I attended my first Dinner and Dance in 1964 and have been to everyone since!!!.

Within two years of joining , I was elected treasurer, a post I held on and off over the next 40 years, interspersing fiddling the books with a long period as club secretary and as a Committee member .

My first motorised two wheeled vehicle was a Lambretta LD150,a lethal thing with no go and no brakes!! I then bought a 350 Matchless, followed by 2 Triumphs and a Velo Venom on which,in 1969, I completed the National Rally. In those days the rally was 600 miles in 24 hours and with the Velo's seating arrangement I didn't sit down for a week. My next bike was a 750 Norton Commando, one of the first so called 'super bikes'; it used to fall apart on a regular basis. After this I purchased a BSA Rocket 3, another Commando and finally a 750XS Yamaha.

I have always been interested in all aspects of Motorcycling, having followed George Browns sprint successes and various club members to the Isle of Man. I still follow British Super Bikes, Motor GP , and World Super Bikes. I was even seen at Brands Hatch last year watching the British Super Bikes!!

Since retiring from a life of toil in the Engineering industry Irene and I spend about 5 months of the year touring round the UK and the Continent in our Motor home.
