EVENTS

Our main event is the 1000 mile ride. Every summer, members gather in a different location for 5 days of backroads, breathtaking landscapes, oil 'n smoke talk, and the pursuit of good "Velo" times amongst friends... Anyone can join, you don't need a Velocette!

Throughout the year, our members also attend or organize other "non-club" rides which we will be sharing on this page.

The Mellow Velo Fellow Ride in So-Cal, The Moto Melee, The Nor-Cal TT, The 49 Mile ride in San Francisco, The Rigid Ride in The Bay Area to name a few. All rides are open to all classic/vintage motorcycles and are not exclusive to Velocette.

If you would like to share a ride with us, please send details to info@velocette.org and we will post it here.

We look forward to seeing you on the road...!

Based on the 49 mile scenic drive round San Francisco, this day ride is a great way to meet the Bay Area vintage motorcycle community. An annual event held on the last Sunday of October. All brands of old, pre-1974 (ish) motorcycles welcome. No fee. No club. No rules. Just some friends going for a leisurely ride around San Francisco with pitstops at major landmarks. Great photo opp!
