All kidding aside from my last post, the motorcycle culture in Greece is actually quite alive and very interesting. There are a number of clubs located throughout the country dedicated to vintage motorcycles from all over the world. A couple nights ago, I dropped in on the Classic Motorcycle Club of Greece which maintains a small but impressive clubhouse right in the heart of Athens.
The club numbers over 250 members including riders from both sexes and a few expats. They get together on a weekly basis and are very active hosting rallies and events throughout the year. Their VP, Elias and Secretary, Dimitrios showed great hospitality and spent a good part of their evening telling me about the history and future of their club. A couple nights a week, you’ll find at lease a dozen members at the clubhouse and any body's when it comes to what is parked outside. The night I was there I saw a beautiful vintage Triton, a couple vintage Guzzis and old Bmw with side-car and a more modern Ducati 999 converted into a sharp looking streetfighter. To find out more visit the Classic Motorcycle Club of Greece.
