Motorcycle enthusiasts with a love of classic British bikes are looking forward to another year of ride-outs and raising money for children’s charities in Sussex.

Sussex British Motorcycle Owners Club is approaching its 33rd anniversary and though much has happened, very little has changed in its objectives since it was formed in May 1986.

The club was started by a group of like-minded enthusiasts with the aim of preserving British-made motorcycles and recognising what was then an emerging interest, now an ongoing interest, in classic innovative British machinery.
