TC is a riders club. We really don't care what you ride, where you ride it etc, but the obvious areas of interest are single cylinder bikes, older bikes, simple bikes, bikes that are used year round, sidecars, bikes and riders who do their own work and so forth. I'm not sure what a card carrying club is, but I doubt we are one, you certainly won't get anything silly if you turn up on a full dress Harley or something out of the Touratech catalogue when everyone else is on ten year old single, classic, BMW, twin or whatever. If you are looking for wall to wall CBR's and discussion about knee sliders you may get a bit bored with us, but there are members with feet in lots of camps.
The club operates informal-ish get togethers at either agreed locations or events, usually so people can get a few miles in then talk *******s over a cuppa or pint. The informal nature of this means the club has slipped into a bit of an organisational doldrum, it functions perfectly well for those of us who know this at a "lets all go to the Dragon" level, but it is fully understood this is a bit daunting for new people. There are also issues related to public liability. You'll see a big discussion below on how people are working to remedy this, although I doubt that will result in an organisation anything like say the BMW club.
I'd say join in any discussion you like, turn up at any events people post and watch this space for a conclusion to the organisation issue. Don't worry you havn't got a membership number (unless you gave GC money
).
