Now in our 7th year.
H.M.G. have at present over 85 riders and 118 bikes on our register, one up from a few months ago, riding a variety of machinery from Manx Norton’s to Gold Stars, Ducati's, Triumphs, BSA’s, Velocettes, Greeves, Moto-Guzzi's, Egli Vincent, Vincent Black lightning, AJS,s, Matchless's, Kawasakis, Suzukis, Yamahas, Tritons and of course Hondas etc, as well as more exotic machinery, such as Yamaha TZ750, Rob North Triples and a metiesse. We now have a G50 up and running and a 7R. A couple more bikes have just been restored and are now riding with us.
Derek's Commando is on the track for the first time in anger and is now track ready.
The Historic Motorcycle Group takes part in parades and demonstrations at specific tracks throughout South Africa. These include, Kyalami, Wesbank, Phakisa, Zwartkops, Midvaal, East London GP track and the Killarney track in Cape Town.
The selected machines are all manufactured prior to end December 1975 and most have racing histories.
Some of our older machines took part in racing events prior to the Second World War.
We are at Phakisa next month.
a very famous track which was used for many of the yearly MotoGP events a few years passed.
A quick track with many corners very similar but exit lines different, which has caught a few riders out!
We are on for our early morning practise and the first and only event around lunchtime.
Guaranteed no rain in the Free State this time of year.
This event is a mixture of Historic cars and Historic bikes, luckily not on the track at the same time.
