Re: 1942 Wlc

very nice piece indeed.

VMCC seems to have a lot of people who 'don't do one make clubs', really with an older bike, the one make club is either your spares scheme ( like the Vincent kiddies ) or it doesn't really have much to offer. I travel a lot and I can always find a local VMCC section, in UK at any rate, with a fairly busy section night ( 20 or 30 members ) and some sort of weekend programme of events in the spring to autumn.

They have 10 times the membership of HDRCGB and it shows. I can do grasstrack racing, sprinting, trials, road runs in 3 sections within an hour's ride of home, the one thing they DON'T offer is getting legless in a field. They have some fairly specialised services ( tyres, transfers, drive belts and brake blocks ) and you can usually find SOMEONE to do any given thing, if you ask around.

as for information, they have a library and a full-time librarian. I'd be very surprised if you couldn't find anything you wanted to know there, assuming that someone knows it that is.

oddly enough, they don't have a forum on the webpage, although given the politics you can suffer from in a club that size that's probably no bad thing.
