Facebook page and Website which collectively keep members up to date with historic,
current and future events including domestic, UK and European results, rider profiles,

The association also supports display days featuring restored bikes,
memorabilia and an opportunity to meet the stars of today and yesteryear.
Watch this space for new and exciting 2025 Interstate activity including our timeless
