THE BACK-O-BEYOND MCC Is a new new club just starting out in caithness.At the moment we are a few good friends who go for regular rides and enjoy going to a few rallies during the season.We are starting out as a club to hopefully meet more people round the county that are interested in doing the same and maybe a bit more.We would like to start doing some charity runs and maybe eventually get round to organising a rally or something similar.We are hoping to have our first club run around the second weekend in april.so if you are interested in any of the above and want to be part of a local club send me a pm cheers from alex and the B-O-B-M-C-C

Are you in any way a "patch" club?

If you knew the difference between MCC and MC sids, you wouldnt have to ask that question. Or have you been watching too much Sons of Anarchy? Good luck with the club Alcyjohn.

how you doing sids we probably will get a small patch designed at some point to wear on the chest or arm but it would be up to the individual if they want to wear 1 we are not going to be anything heavy just some good friends that are all very keen bikers cheers from alex

What kind of initiation ceremony is involved, and does it involve the bodily fluids of existing members?

I've got a Honda C90. Can I come on runs with the club ?
What sort of bike have you got ?

alcyjohn
16-Mar-11, 20:25
no beards required although i have 1 myself and theres no initiation ceremony involving bodily fluids but may well involve some alcoholic fluids ive set up an email address for the club its backobeyond@btinternet.com so you can get in touch that way if you want

alcyjohn
16-Mar-11, 22:07

Hi guys
Please have a look at the above, we are coming to Thurso and all points north over Easter weekend and are looking to recruite new members, you do not need to be ex forces or even ride a bike. We are leaving Perth on the 21st April and heading up to Fort Augustus then on up to Thurso and will be in the Legion in Thurso if you want to come along for a chat and to join up.
If you have any questions please get in touch.
Sorry for hi jacking your thread.

Hi alcyjohn & Kimint,
good to see some like minded folk in Caithness looking to start something new. However, are you aware that there is already a long standing bike club in Caithness (14 years) that enjoys runs out round Caithness & Sutherland, arranges/assists with charity events, we donate to local & national charities, go off to bike rallies in the UK (and Europe) and run our own bike rally at John O' Groats each year in July with average 250 folk attending (13th year this year)? When we ride together, there is no one trying to out do another - we set off together and we arrive together.
We are TEAM MCC (The End And More MCC) and regardless of other activities, we have a club meeting every month at various locations round the county.
I apreciate that you may well already know of us and will have your own ideas and asperations for a club - that's cool - but I just wanted to make sure you were aware that a similar club to what you are planning is already around in Caithness and we are always more than happy to accept new folk with new ideas into the club.

Best regards
Ride safe

My brother and his wife, who live in Fife, are members of the Royal British Legion Scotland Riders. This is a new organisation which was set up in November last year and they are actively seeking new members, who are motorcyclists, from all over Scotland. They are doing a run up to the Orkneys and Shetlands in April, stopping off in Thurso at the Legion on the way, they raise money for ex-Service men and women. They are coming here on the 21st April staying overnight in Thurso and then off to Orkney the next day (details on the "Whats On"). If you want to do charity runs, why not pop along and speak to them, not sure how many of them are coming up but there are a few. It is such a worthwhile cause and they always seem to have a lot of fun. More info can be found through www.rblscotland.com (http://www.rblscotland.com)

Good idea advertising a run on the org - we've done it in the past but only when someone remembers to do it :roll:
You guys coming to the rally this year? If you don't have a flyer, let me know and I'll send you one.

Cheers

The only answer to this huge problem, whatever it is, is for you all to come along to the Caithness Classic Motorcycle Club Rally on 15th May. Meet 10am at Norseman Hotel, Wick for 11am departure on 90 mile run, followed by nice meal. email tritonthrasher@yahoo.com for details and entry form.

Much better than anything they've got in the Orkneys.

alcyjohn
08-Apr-11, 14:58
the BACK O BEYOND MCC will be attending all local rallies and runs as we do every year tickets for groats already bought and will now get in touch about the caithness classic run and just to remind all our first club run will be this sunday the 10th of april meeting in tescos car park at 11am you dont have to be a member to come along thanks again for all the responses and info cheers from alex and the BACK O BEYOND MCC

Quite possibly - No idea where "The Orkneys" are. Plenty to do if you go over to Orkney on a motorbike though!

Should that not read "The Caithnessess Classic Motrorcycle Club Rally"? And whens the nice meal being held? Presumably dependant on the number of breakdowns and stops to top up the oil? ;)

Hope you have a good run guys. The mist cleared today for the CMS Highland run from here to the shandwick at Tain where a good nosh was had by all. A good turnout for the run which was in memory of the late Matt Campbell, great friend and bike instructor at CMS highland who died on the A82 last October. 32 bikes and riders looked good heading out of the Ice Rink car park Led by the police officers involved in Bikesafe, the pics will be in the P and J and the Inverness courier next week. Methinks the shiny one would have been looking down and smiling.

No idea where "The Orkneys" are.

You don't need to know, being marooned in the middle of them.



Should that not read "The Caithnessess Classic Motrorcycle Club Rally"?

No. "Motrorcycle" is difficult for Caithness people to pronounce. And of course, Caithness, without the extra "ess" at the end, is a masculine county, unlike some mincing archipelagos.

I think some of the Club guys will be at the Show in Kirkwall. We go most years.
