Classic Motorcycle Day on Sunday 2nd July 2017

[mike the bike]

Is anybody camping up there, and if so - where to?

I don't fancy riding 3 1/2 hours, in the morning and another 3 1/2 hours the same day.  I managed it years ago when I was dispatching but not now.

Got an email from one of the organisers. Obviously difficult to post an email but content as follows:-

Dear Club Organiser,

Below is a copy of an article which has been posted on our blog, with a Facebook link.  It is also the basis of a press release and I thought that you might like to have the information.

Thanks to the generosity of a local business, Derwent Waste Management, we have three cups to be competed for at our Classic Motorcycle Event which, this year, will be on Sunday 2nd July.

 The winners of the cups, for ‘Best in Show’ (which will be chosen by our visitors on the day) ‘Best British Bike’ and ‘Best Foreign Bike’ (both of which will be selected by a panel of judges), will enjoy possession for 10 months until they have to be returned to Crich for next year’s event.  However, the winners will keep a presentation medal as a lasting award for their win at Crich.

We are incredibly grateful to Derwent Waste Management for their sponsorship of awards, which will add greatly to what is to be an annual event.



 ANY OF YOU GUYS GOING TO DO US PROUD?

Hi Mike,

There are a few campsites near to the Tramway museum but possibly fully booked for reasons of the event itself....? However as very popular tourist area, many others about. Can't really specifically recommend anywhere but  usual google search should sort it if you need somewhere.

I''m still planning to do a flyer advertising the forum but has anyone got access to a 'proper' printer as my small one at home will blow up under protest !!!.

"The event is open to motorcycles built prior to January 1992 and entry is free for any rider and their classic motorcycle, provided that they are booked in advance"

Would this include someone on a 91 reg Zephyr? I've got way too much left to do on my CB650C to have it ready in time, it's only four weeks away.

 could we supply reg numbers,?

 

[Rozabikes Tim]

Good idea. I will suggest it when I am in contact with organisers again.

I'm hoping to go there and put faces to a few of the SOHC names. I won't have a bike and assume I can just pay to get in, tried looking at the info sites for Crich but can't find an entry price apart from membership. Is there something I'm missing or do you have to take a subscription?

[Rozabikes Tim]

Will find out for you.
