Thank you to all those who came along to

The IVVMCC Show @ Leopardstown

 

Click to see the poster

 

Over the past few years, the Club took the decision to expand the Show of bikes.

This has been very popular with the visitors to Leopardstown and

again this year the Club intends to continue this by adding more bikes.

Not all bikes of the 20th Century can be in pristine concourse condition.

Some bikes are hardworking bikes that have given many years faithfull service.

Some are still used as day to day transport for their owners.

Some are low mileage well kept machines that only get out for Club runs.

Some are beautifully restored over long winter evenings and others

are totaly original unaltered bikes even if they are showing their age.

No matter what type of 20th Century motorcycle you have we'd love to see it.

Why not bring your bike to the Show at Leopardstown on October 5th ?
