Harley-Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain

Harley-Davidson 2004 Heritage: The Harley-Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain (est 1949) was the first British riders club (as opposed to motorcycle club) and organized national rallies and ride-outs from the outset.

The 1982 rally began a popular run of events, probably due to the good fortune of having William G. Davidson attending his first rally outside the USA, in Great Britain.

He is thought to have been more than curious to discover how the secret "Evolution Motor" had found its world exclusive on the cover of the spring edition of the Harley-Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain magazine, the "Harleyquin", but having a forgiving nature, Willie G. returned in 1984, along with Vaughan Beals and Len Thomson to officially show off the Evolution engine by bringing a test ride fleet to the second Brighton International Super Rally run by the Harley-Davidson Riders Club of Great Britain. The demonstration rides were the first at any European Rally.
