VINTAGE motorcycles dating back to the beginning of the 20th century graced the roads of Hanbury last Saturday.

Sixty-eight bikes from the Vintage Motorcycle Club, based in Burton-on-Trent, took part in their annual rally, this year a circular route from Stratford-upon-Avon.

Riders, who have to keep rigidly to specified speed limits, stopped in Bradley Green for lunch after passing through Hanbury village.

Bikes dated from 1903 to 1978 and awards were presented in various categories for vehicles at the end of the event.

Organiser Graham Hallard said: "Riders select an average speed from a choice of three and they have to try and maintain that speed and we have secret time check points on the road."

Mr Hallard also said he hoped Hanbury would be included on the route next year.
