Bikers set off from Blair for classic rally
The Scottish Classic Motorcycle Club will hold its annual open summer run – the Sma’Glen Shuffle – on Sunday this week.
Members and non-members alike are invited to take part, the only stipulation being that bikes should be at least 15 years old and road-legal.
Registration opens at Blairgowrie’s Dalmore Hotel at 10am, with the run itself starting at 11am.
Local enthusiasts are welcome to admire the entries in the car park before they leave, and after they return.
Participants will be given a route map and are require to navigate themselves, via a circuitous route, to a tea-break at the half-way point in Kenmore, at around 1pm.
Duly refreshed, they will then return to the Dalmore Hotel at around 3pm for a hot meal, prize-giving and raffle.
Entries cost £15 per head – which includes the price of the meal, and a keepsake.
The Scottish Classic Motorcycle Club meets in the Olde Hotel, Leuchars, on the second Wednesday of the month.
Catering for enthusiasts of older motorbikes of all nationalities, from Fife, Angus, Perthshire and beyond, members receive a monthly newsletter and take part in runs, visits, camping weekends, quizzes, films and shows. The club also runs a tool loan scheme. The club’s emphasis is on keeping older motorbikes on the road, as they were intended to be used, rather than preserving them as what a spokesperson described as“shiny exhibits”. New members welcome.
