Matt and Trevor  have been experiencing one of the Vintage Clubs test day at Curborough.
The VMCC Test days are open to non members and give the chance to ride a variety of vintage bikes around the Curbrough Twisty Sprint circuit for a modest fee.
Matt has sent this report.

Dear All,


Hope you all have had a great day , I have in spent the day riding 15 different bikes around the Curborough Sprint Circuit in Staffordshire the youngest being a 1943 James Military Lightweight the oldest two bikes were a mere 114 years old both being 1904 machines a Dreadnought and a Bradbury. 
What a truly fantastic day an such an opportunity to ride the machines that most can only dream about including the often coveted, although I confess not by me, mid 1920's SS80 Brough Superior, which I started first kick.
The most hair raising ride I had was a 1927 P&M combination which was a really jittery machine and the only one that I decided to only do a couple of laps on....my nerves and balance couldn't take much more!

Really can't understand why when I suggested attendance early in the year the only person to show an interest was Trevor who will be  attending a similar event in September. Attach some of the pictures of the bikes ridden my me today.


All the very best.


A rather tired but Very Happy man.
Matt.
