Birdwood Figure 8 Ride – Sunday 17th March 2024

Once again, the Figure 8 Run will start from the Grounds of the National Motor Museum at Birdwood.

Enter off the Main Street of Birdwood into Blumel Road, the Ambulance Station is on the corner.  The entrance gate, for our use only, will be open from 9.00am.

Park on the roadway adjacent to the main grass area, trailers may be left on the roadway between the buildings.  The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club are also visiting on their Annual Rally and are expecting over 200 bikes to be parked on the main grass area. They will be accessing the Mill by the rear entrance on Church Street.

The mornings run will turn left into the Main Street then meander through to the outskirts of Tungkillo, to Mt Torrens, Charleston and to a refreshment stop in Lobethal.  After the stop we will head out of Lobethal to go down the Fox Gully Road to Cudlee Creek, Gumeracha and back to the Museum.

Those on slower Veteran or Tiddler bikes, can shortcut from Birdwood to Mt Torrens to rejoin the main route.  After the stop, they may then go down the main road from Lobethal to Cudlee Creek, to pick up the route again at the bottom of Fox Gully Road.

Time has been allowed for a picnic lunch on the lawns or from one of the shops in the Main Street. 

The Museum Staff will judge our bikes, during the lunch break, for their Annual Trophy. There is no charge to view the Museum exhibits.

AT approximately 1.00-1.15pm we will depart for the afternoon loop to complete the figure 8.

This time we’ll turn right onto the Main Street and then right again onto Warren Road, left into Martins Hill Road, right into Forreston Road then right into Cricks Mill Road to Mount Pleasant and then back to the Museum.  This route is suitable for all the bikes.

The roads are scenic with no steep hills and are mainly 80kph limits.

Will be looking for Corner Marshals on the day and someone to tow the trailer.

Corner Marshal information.

For members desiring to be a corner marshal on a club ride, please read this corner marshal duties about the do and don’ts. But you need to be trained and qualified to perform this important position.

One of advantages of being a corner Marshall is to to watch and see members riding towards you, with the awesome sound of their motorcycle, along with clashing of gears as that veteran and vintage motorcycle slowly gaining speed as they ride on. When the back up trailer arrives, you then can join the ride.

                      Welcome information

Welcome to the home page of The Veteran and Vintage Motor Cycle Club of South Australia.

The Club is one of the oldest in the country, we are planning to celebrate our 70th Anniversary Rally in 2026. Still in the planning stage.

On the 3rd Sunday of each month we have a club ride for members going north, east and south from Adelaide, or starting at a nearby country town and most ride are through the picturesque Adelaide Hills. Distance is around the 100km mark, why this is the usual distance a Veteran or Vintage motorcycle petrol will allow it to go. A support trailer is always there following the ride.
