The Vintage Motorcycle Club of Australia (VMCC) NSW was established in Sydney. The purpose of the club is to preserve, restore, and use motorcycles and sidecars manufactured up to 31 December 1947, specifically during the girder fork era of motorcycling history. This era covers the Veteran, Vintage, and Post Vintage periods.
The club prides itself on being a family-friendly organisation and offers a wide range of events to cater to its members' interests. These events include rallies, day rides, displays, and social gatherings. Club members have access to various support services to enhance their hobby and make it more enjoyable.
The VMCC NSW holds monthly meetings on the third Wednesday of every month (except December and January) at the Dundas Sports & Recreation Club. Visitors are welcome to attend these meetings and immerse themselves in the shared passion for vintage motorcycles.
For those interested in contacting the club, they can reach out via phone at 0415 284 620 or through email at info@vintagemotorcycleclubofaustralia. Org. au. The club also has a presence on Facebook where members and enthusiasts can stay connected and up to date with the latest news and events.
The VMCC NSW celebrates the fascinating machines of the girder fork era and encourages the preservation and active use of these motorcycles. The club recognises that there are different approaches to owning and appreciating vintage motorcycles. Some members enjoy the restoration process and the camaraderie of fellow enthusiasts, while others prefer the thrill of riding these historic bikes. The VMCC caters to both interests and offers a wealth of knowledge, a library, and a monthly magazine to keep everyone connected and informed.
Membership in the VMCC is open to anyone with an interest in old motorcycles, whether they currently own one or not. The club welcomes both meticulously restored bikes and those that exude a more rustic charm. However, it is important for bikes to be in keeping with the era they were made and compliant with the RMS's requirements for historic vehicle registration.
For those who share a passion for old girder fork bikes or are simply intrigued by the idea of restoring and riding one, the VMCC NSW offers the opportunity to connect with like-minded individuals. Club meetings provide an informal setting for members to engage in friendly conversation, while events offer the chance to witness these vintage bikes in action.
The VMCC NSW is affiliated with the Vintage Motor Cycle Club UK, establishing a connexion and sharing resources with fellow vintage motorcycle enthusiasts across the globe.
Since its establishment in 1955, the VMCC NSW has been dedicated to preserving the rich history of motorcycles and providing a platform for enthusiasts to come together, learn, and enjoy the beauty of vintage bikes.
