Wotcha,
Am I really the only old git on here who still rides old bikes ?
I managed to end the year on an old BSA, then start the year on
a rather younger Royal Enfield . . . well it's actually an
"Enfield India" 'cos they weren't allowed to use the "Royal" bit
back in 1991.
Just for the sake of it - here's the last ride of 2023

Have fun you lot.
Cheers.

I still ride a last century steed, but 24 years isn't really old.

The Kabin is much favoured by some of the local VMCC section.

No, but one more circuit round the sun and it's VMCC eligible.

Cool :-)
I used to own a 3TA back in the '80s, if I do my sums right the XJR may
actually be older than it was :-)

Pros & cons? vs VMCC?
I'm not really a 'club person' but I keep considering one or the other..

My Drifter is now eligible for the VJMC.
I keep "umming and ahing" about joining.

TBH the VMCC is still very much slanted towards SO British machines -
