INTRODUCTION….
Welcome to this site!! If you live in the North West of England and have an interest in classic motorcycles but especially those of the AJS and Matchless (or any AMC marque) then you have come to the right place.
We are a group of enthusiasts that either own, have owned, would like to own or just have an interest in classic AJS & Matchless motorcycles. The parent company of these machines Associated Motor Cycles Ltd (AMC) collapsed in 1966, so these machines are mostly 50 years old or more.
We believe in keeping these examples of the British automotive history as part of an active road going experience for not only ourselves, but as an experience that can be shared with everyone. In order to promote this and enjoy our machines by using them as they were meant to be used we have a programme of events which we stage and/or attend each year.
There is also a social side to the sections activities with monthly meetings and regular runs out through the year.
WHERE WE MEET
From 9th September 2021 our meeting will be at
Charnock Richard Football Club
55 Charter Lane PR7 5LZ
Charnock Richard
On the SECOND THURSDAY of the month starting at 8.00pm.
We are always happy to welcome anyone who has an interest in the AJS & Matchless machines so please feel free to come along to one of our meetings. A typical meeting will provide time for general chat, problem solving discussions, sales, part wants and event planning.
RECENT REPORTS
2018 Jampot Rally
Rose and I set off 4 days early and arrived at a caravan site about 30 miles north of the rally where we met Albert and Dianne from the Cheshire section. We towed the caravan with my van with the Ajay inside. It is a lovely campsite in the wood which is run by the forestry commission, so lots of walks and cycle trails. We visited Stamford where ‘Middlemarch’ was filmed – lovely town.
Peter’s Lakes Run 2018
Seven of the usual suspects met at Barton grange and after Tony had extracted his £ ‘pound of flesh’ we set off up the ‘not-at-all- boring’ A6 to meet Peter, Chris and Colin at Hampson Lane. This new meeting place is off the A6 just south of the M6 junction 33 roundabout.
The Chipshop Run 8/8/2018
13 bikes and 14 people turned up at the club for the chipshop run on a sunny evening. Dave led us off to the west around Bispham , Hoscar and Mawdsley to bring us to the chipshop at Eccleston.
Bob’s Evening Run – July 2018
After fighting their way through the rush hour traffic 12 riders turned up at Samlesbury for Bob’s evening run and hotpot.
