It all starts starts at the Portsonachan Hotel on the west cost with 4 nights 3 days riding. We then move up to the Fairways Golf Club Travelodge Inverness for the Highland Classic Motorcycle annual rally which will be held on Sunday 9th June, this includes a ride around Loch Ness/ sit down Carvery and raffle.
I’ve now done this event for the past 3 yrs and it is fantastic and I can highly recommend it.
This event is normally for FBOC members but could possibly consider others.
The Club will be having a small stand at the above event next Saturday which is organized by Colin Downing. There is plenty of Autojumble stands and bikes to look at.
Under the resources tab I have add some new pages, some of which are now live. These include Brochures from 1922 to 1939, Brochures from 1949 to 1966, Manuals, Other Literature and a Video Clip page. More pages to go live shortly…..
This event was held on Sunday 29th October and we had 4 members displaying there bikes not including me. We had a great day although the weather was very poor. Apart from me all the other members rode there bikes to the show, some travelling 50miles each way in the very poor weather conditions. credit to them I say. I had an excuss because I am based over 3hrs away and there was no way I was riding! To top the day of we picked up the award for the best club stand and my police bike picked up a second place in its category. I would Like to thank those that attended and especially Dave Johnson for arranging.

The Francis Barnett Owners Club had a very successful weekend at the Stafford Show. The weather was good on the Saturday and just about held up for the Sunday with a little drizzle. We had 9 bikes in total on the stand giving a good overview of the model range.
It was a special show this year for the Bob Adams who celebrated 20 years organizing the stand at this event, which I think is a real achievement. He has now decided to hand over the reins to Phil Densham who I’m sure will continue the excellent work Bob has done.
We had lots of interest in the bikes with lots of questions being asked throughout the weekend. We also had a couple of new members join and already paid up members popping along to introduce themselves and have a chat.
I would like to thank all those members that brought bikes and help on the stand throughout the weekend.
We will be back at Stafford in October. So if you didn’t display a bike at this one and would like to display a bike and be involved then please get in touch with Simon Freeman who organizers the Oct show.
