A good evening with a presence of over 40 members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BringBuy-Nacelle-Mar-25-700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4266\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BringBuy-Nacelle-Mar-25-700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/BringBuy-Nacelle-Mar-25-700-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Bargains galore at the annual Bring &amp;

He touched on dubious stampings and emphasised the importance of doing your homework on the machine before parting with your hard earned cash.&nbsp; He further explained how matching numbers had become so desirable, that the temptation to doctor numbers to match one another, now appeared to be on the rise.&nbsp; So, branch members, hope for another presentation by Richard on fakes; perhaps next year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/RWheadon-Nacelle-Mar-25-700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4267\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/RWheadon-Nacelle-Mar-25-700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/RWheadon-Nacelle-Mar-25-700-300x208.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Richard Wheadon, TOMCC Machine Registrar, presents&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>March\u2019s presentation will be by John Bottomley, VMCC, on \u201cThe development of Ducati Racing machines\u201d and will held on 6th March.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" src=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Court-Hill-Nacelle-Mar-25-700.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4268\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Court-Hill-Nacelle-Mar-25-700.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.berkshiretomcc.org.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Court-Hill-Nacelle-Mar-25-700-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">At 2deg C it\u2019s a little nippy on the Ridgeway<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Meanwhile, weekly ride-outs continue, albeit it\u2019s been a little nippy\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Bibendum<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Below is the report published in the March 2025 issue of Nacelle, which covered Branch activities in January 2025 With a few bright days at the end of January and the first appearance of snowdrops in the hedgerows, spring is finally in the air.&nbsp;
