Events for veteran motorcycles are very rare but the VMCC in Scotland is organising a long weekend of runs for these early motorcycles. The weekend starts with the “Early Motor Bicycle Run” at the Museum of Flight, East Fortune, East Lothian, on Saturday 8 October organised by Clyde Valley Section of the VMCC. The run is designed to suit the modest performance of pre-1914 machines hence the choice of the flat terrain of East Lothian. Later machines may be considered if their design post 1914 remained largely unchanged. Details from John Macmillan on 01555 662760 or [email protected] .

The weekend continues with the Glendaruel Veteran Run on the Cowal Peninsula in Argyll which is the venue for runs specifically for pre-1915 motorcycles on Sunday 9 and Monday 10 October, 2016 being organised by Highland Section. The routes will be easy going in Cowal and there will be a ferry trip to the Isle of Bute and a run round the Island. Details from Paul Morley on 01369 820287 or [email protected] 

A number of entrants are attending from Holland riding 1902-08 motorcycles and an open invitation is extended to VMCC members and non-members to join in the fun. Expect to see rare early Marques such as Bradbury, Excelsior, Rex, Williamson and The Pebok. The two events are linked with the aim of providing a unique riding experience on the quiet back roads of rural Scotland with spectacular scenery.
