The Tauranga Classic Motorcycle Club was formed in 1976, making us the second longest-running classic motorcycle club in New Zealand. The primary purpose of the club is to foster the preservation and enjoyment of Classic motorcycles. 

​

What makes a Classic? That’s a good question and one that was robustly disputed in many classic motorcycle and car clubs around the country in the 80’s and 90’s. In those days, a classic was typically a British, European or American machine with a certain indefinable mystique.  Fortunately, most all clubs have now settled on a rolling 25 year old rule, with Japanese manufactured machines now featuring more prominently. 

​

Along with classic machines, many of our members have modern bikes that are utilised on our more informal weekday or longer distance rides.

​

The club rides and functions give members the opportunity to:

​

• Socialise on a regular basis through club meetings and functions.

• Enjoy a weekly coffee morning at a local cafe where everyone is welcome to join in the conversation.

• Participate in our annual rally. Fellow classic riders from around the country join and share over a long weekend event.

• Join monthly rides, usually of a shorter duration, suitable for older bikes and ones of smaller displacement.

• Participate in regular weekly rides, typically in the BOP / Waikato / Coromandel areas. These rides cover greater distances and encompass a lunch stop.

• Enjoy combined multi-day rides to other regions club rallies.

• Experience the camaraderie during overnight trips organised throughout the year.

​

Tauranga Classic Motorcycle Club own clubrooms in the heart of Mount Maunganui, a central locaation for most members. Our monthly club meetings are held here and our monthly runs typically assemble here.
