Pat Barrett Club President Pat, one of our oldest members aged 68, is not a born again biker as he has been riding continuously since he was 16, (that's why he looks so tired)He has covered over 450,000 miles during this time, and has owned a succession of bikes mainly British up to 1974, Norton singles chiefly, then Jap bikes, Honda CB750,Yamaha VX1000 sidecar and Yamaha XJ900 sidecar. Pat was British sidecar sprint champion in the late fifties, and has attended 47 Isle of Man TT meetings, can anyone else in the club beat that! and saw the first 100mph lap of the TT circuit in 1957. Pats present bikes are a 1951 James Comet, 1997 Honda C90 and a 1990 Yamaha XJ900 sidecar outfit which he still rides regularly to club meetings. |

Tony Brown Club Chairman Tony has been our Chairman since 1979 having joined the club in 1963. He has been involved with Motorcycles all his life, being the son of the famous George Brown, to whom our annual memorial run is dedicated. He has ridden motorbikes and worked in the motorcycle industry since he was a youngster. Tony has achieved six world speed records, some of which still stand, on the Vincent powered "Super Nero"; but he has slowed down now and is riding an Aprilia Tuono. Tony's other interest, not so far apart from his main interest, is collecting model motorcycles.

He started riding in 1957, and has competed in both road racing and trials riding between the late sixties and early eighties. He rides Aprilias (I expect someone has to) both a Tuareg and a 1000cc Falco. Mikes other interest, apart from the Club, is flying. |

Dave Clements Regalia Officer I became a biker when I was 17 (just a short time ago), having decided it was faster and less energetic than using a push bike! I have been riding practically everyday since then, as it is my only form of transport. I am not one of these fair weather or Sunday riders. I am a very young looking 46 (or so I’m told) and who am I to argue? I have been in the S&DMCC for over 12 years (longer than Mr Kinch), and have served on the committee for 7 years and as Regalia Office for 4 years I have a Hinckley Triumph Speed Triple 04, this being my 4th Triumph, I am obviously a total convert, as they are probably the best in the world.I also have 3 BSA’S, which I restored. In my younger years I did much travelling abroad with these bikes, on various BSA rallies, including the States for a month and Holland. |

Wayne Schumann Events Coordinator Wayne is 48 years young! and started riding motorbikes at 16 on a FS1E moped (great fun), when he passed his full test at 17 he got a Honda CB 250. unfortunately Wayne stopped riding 2 years later when a good friend was lost in an accident. Born again about 5 years ago with a CBX 750 and CBR 600 Now rides a Kawasaki and can be found on most Sunday ride outs, and always at the BMF. Makes a mean paper Elephant!! |

David Kinch Club Webmaster I have been a club member for almost twelve years now, and have served on the committee six times before. I learnt to ride on old British bikes, in the late 60's and early 70's and now run a Triumph Trophy 1200. Probably the best bikes in the world. I enjoy touring, both in Britain and abroad, and take part most years in the three national rallies, see features page for details. I am the Club Webmaster; but as this is my first attempt at web design and I had to learn as I went along, any comments or advice are welcome, as are any items for publication. |
