Do you recognise this place?? - Yes it's Ryka's -
As it was in 1983. Honda were preparing their International Calendar for 1984, and we were invited to go along as 'extras' for the UK page - the month of February.
Honda supplied the burger and chips and we provided our 'mean and moody' presence! 17 members from West London were joined by 3 from North London and John Mussett the parts manager at nearby Honda dealer, Tippetts.
Honda supplied a model to promote their VF750 - later to be eclipsed by the VFR 750 in 1985/6
Sadly, some of these friends are no longer with us, but fond memories of them live on.
The branch was formed in September 1980 by Joy Penberthy, Jude and Jon
We represented February
