Why the Website

As a tribute to the club and the (ex-) members with whom we chose to spend our time and who we trusted our lives with on the road.

Why me, why now?

Some years ago I passed another of those milepost birthdays and the missus organised a surprise party with lots of my old LPMCC friends. She had obviously recognised how much the old days meant to me, more than I had! I realised that the years were not a reason to lose contact with friends. In the following years the Internet has made it possible to share stories and photographs and also made it much easier to trace and keep in contact. The need and the means converged.

Who writes it?

The Rally Section is a major part of LPMCC.net. Over the years Les Hobbs and Ted Trett have contributed badges stories and photographs in abundance. They are effectively co-authors of LPMCC.net whenever they have a brief rest from motorcycling.

Altogether there are lots of contributors to LPMCC.net, from whole pages and reports to short quotes, scans of badges and old photos. They are all listed in the Bibliography. I hope you will share some of your memories for others to enjoy.

The enthusiastic support that the site receives is testimony to its existence and encourages improvements.
