How did your journey into classic bikes begin?

It was through friends who introduced me to hands-on mechanics. I was initially interested in older aircraft, but soon found myself drawn into the world of classic bikes.

What do you love most about older machines?

It’s their purely mechanical nature, offering a more ‘proper’ riding and ownership experience compared to modern bikes.

Memorable moments

I’m inspired by films and the 1960s British biking scene in general. And I feel I’m just at the beginning of a long journey into old bike ownership.

Advice for young riders

Ask questions, learn from others, and don’t be afraid to make mistakes—everyone is still learning.

Member Spotlight: Mark Pinnegar
Age: 28
Location: Birmingham
Machine: 1968 A10, BSA C15T, Honda XL600R, Yamaha RD350LC, Ducati Desmo 350

How did your journey into classic bikes begin?

It’s 100% my dad’s fault! I grew up around bikes and progressed from riding pillion to owning my first at 16, eventually diving into a wide mix of classic and custom bikes. The ‘Rocatie’ is a Ducati desmo single with a Rotax engine. I didn’t build the bike but it is a lot of fun to ride and a lot faster than you would expect. As far as I know it’s the only one of its kind.

What do you love most about older machines?

They’ve got heart and soul. I love the ability to customise and repair bikes without relying on computers, building a deeper connection with each machine.

Memorable moments

From touring on classic bikes to roadside repairs (including welding a side stand in Scotland) – the journey matters more than the destination.

Advice for young riders

Be ready to invest time and money – but the reward is worth it. You’ll gain stories, skills and friendships you simply don’t get with modern bikes.

We would like thank everyone that came along to our party. It was great to see lots of you and so pleased that it was a fun day. With classic bikes it is so great to see that where ever you go there are people out there ready to have a chat, give you some help and share the knowledge.

This time it’s...all the way from Japan, Velocette owner Rei Wakatsuki.

Member Spotlight: Rei Wakatsuki

Age: 27

Location: Tokyo, Japan

Machine: 1949 Velocette MAC

How did your journey into classic bikes begin?
I was inspired as a child watching my father and his friends enjoy British motorcycles. The bikes’ unique design and character left a lasting impression on me.

What do you love most about vintage machines?
The design and sound—particularly Nortons with girder forks from the 1930s and ‘40s.

Memorable moments?
After attending classic bike events in Japan, I bought the Velocette when I was 22, marking the start of my own journey into the world of British bikes.

Advice for young riders?
If you want one, don’t wait—buy it and learn. As time goes on, these bikes will become more expensive and the skills will be rarer. We must keep this passion alive.

Member Spotlight: Billy Dampier
Age: 26
Location: Taunton, Somerset
Machine(s): 1954 Ariel NH350 Red Hunter, 1932 Ariel MF (bitza) various early 2000s Hondas.

How did your journey into classic bikes begin?
“I grew up surrounded by old vehicles, spending time tinkering with my grandad. After starting with classic cars, the opportunity to buy back my late grandfather’s Ariel Red Hunter, which sealed my path into vintage motorcycles.”

What do you love most about old bikes?
“As a mechanic, I appreciate the simplicity of old engineering. After working on modern vehicles all day, there’s something deeply satisfying about returning to machines you can fully understand and repair yourself.”

Memorable moments?
“From rebuilding bikes using autojumble finds and eBay parts to restoring family machines, it’s all about blending heritage with hands-on experience.”

Advice for young riders
“Join a club or find someone experienced—if they can’t help, they’ll know someone who can. The classic bike community is one of the most supportive out there.”
