The Story of VVMC
It all started in a garage in Venice…
The Venice Vintage Motorcycle Club is dedicated to the preservation and celebration of vintage motorcycles and of motorcycle culture. We honor the craftsmanship and inherent beauty found in the design of all vintage motorbikes as something potent, influential and representative of a time lost to history, where things were built with pride and made to last.
The VVMC is a band of brothers and sisters compromised of more than 30 individuals faithful to and united by the love of riding and maintaining old motorcycles. Old bikes brought us together and we ride them like their maker intended. Sometimes a little faster than that.
With our roots in Southern California, we are committed to supporting our community in Venice and maintaining inclusion towards others upon the alter of the old machine.
General Questions
Q: What do you consider “Vintage?”
Some say 20, some say 30 years old. We consider vintage to be pre ’79. It was around this time that bikes of most major manufacturers started to take on a more modern look. As well, it was the last year Honda released a bike with a kick-start. That said, we’re not snobs so don’t worry about it…unless it’s Wednesday.
Q: Where and when do you ride?
We host a 3rd Sunday Ride every month. All makes, models, and years are welcome. See details on our Events Page.
Wednesday nights are club night and strictly vintage. Make friends with a member and you may just get an invite. The VVMC hosts various other rides and events throughout the year. Sign up for our mailing list and follow us on Facebook and Instagram to stay updated.
Q: Do I have to be a member to join the rides?
Nope. Hop on your bike and come ride with us!
Q: Does my bike have to be vintage to join the ride?
Nope. Vintage is preferred but all makes, models, and years are welcome
Q: Can I join the VVMC?
The VVMC is a not a subscription type organization. It’s a small, tight group of like-minded (and a bit crazy) friends. If you’re serious about joining the clan, here’s the simple law:
- You MUST own & ride a vintage (pre ’79) bike.
- Plan on riding with us and being active in the group for at least a year. Showing up on occasion doesn’t cut it. The patch must be thoroughly earned.
- We expect you to volunteer your time at our events. Jump in and help out!
- Don’t be a tool… but maybe bring some with you (actual tools that is).
Q: How can I stay informed about your rides & events?
Make sure to sign up on our Email List, check out our Events Page, and find us on Facebook and Instagram. That should just about cover it.
Come out and ride with us.
See You There!
