Honda Owners Club Classic Show back for 60th anniversary

June 25, 2021

To celebrate 60 years of the HOC, an event will take place at the Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum on June 27, 2021.

The museum – located at Bashley Cross Roads, New Milton, Hampshire, BH25 5SZ – will play host to HOC.

As of 2021 the club currently has 1574 Members and 24 Branches spread throughout the country. They produce a quality quarterly magazine which incorporates a Dealer Discount list and an active diary of events.

Current HOC President Jude Browne says: "We hope that anyone (non-members welcome) with a classic Honda will come along and show it off at the Sammy Miller Museum on June 27."

The Honda Owners Club website said: "We would love to see your Classic Honda so keep the date free, non members are most welcome to bring their bikes along to show and everyone is welcome to come and have a look at the historic Hondas and hopefully look around the museum and craft shops too.

"During the course of the event Sammy will bring out a couple of museum bikes and fire them up ! He has agreed to be our guest judge too."

Bertie Simmonds

As a child Bertie (well, Robert back then… blame his sister for the nickname) was exposed to motorcycles thanks to his uncles. They would show up at his house with a lovely lady as pillion throughout the 1970s and 1980s. After a naughty time on field bikes (it’s what we did back then) Bertie passed his test in the early 1990s and became a reporter for MCN in 1995, moving to the sports desk and covering World Superbikes in 1996. With a change to Bike Magazine in 1997, he stayed until 2000 as news, features and road test editor. Moving into PR with Cosworth, Bert was bored with cars and returned to bikes in 2001 with Two Wheels Only, becoming editor in 2002 and leaving to be freelance at the end of 2004. With almost a decade freelancing, Bertie joined Mortons in 2013 and became editor of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics, a post he’s desperately clung to, to this day. And no, he’s never had a pretty girl on the back of his bike. BSimmonds@mortons.co.uk
