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

Farmers Arms Motorfest – 21st August 2016

Sunday 21st August saw a good turn out of the NW Section at the Farmers Arms Motorfest. The club banner had been erected to identify our patch and about 10 members arrived and displayed their steeds.

Steve’s Run Out

4 riders turned up at the Myerscough pub for Steve’s Run in wet and windy weather. Although not as bad as had been forecast it was still not very suited to a scenic run out but off we went at a brisk pace up the A59 to the Petrie Arms roundabout and off through Langho to York Lane to take the narrow but scenic Moor Lane to Whalley.

Lytham 40s weekend run

Four Riders turned up at the Canberra Club for the Lytham 40s Weekend run.

In warm sunny weather we took a steady run up the A59 turning left to Ribchester and then on through Longridge and Broughton to Inskip, Elswick, Singleton and Weeton to Wrea Green and then Lytham.
