In the very early 1970's there used to be a Tramps MC North London with a few members on the South coast. Although, no connection with the Welsh Tramps MC. They never got that far. They were running for about two years in very turbulent times. They eventually faded into history like many other smaller clubs....T, January 2013
I see you have a few of my pics on here :) Just a footnote. Soldier Blue where based all over Europe. It was a Forces club. Quite a few parties were in Brecon and a few members lived there, but it was never 'based' there. It never had its own territory really. There was members in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, Holland, Belgium, Austria, France. All over....Monty, March 2013

Hi there, you have Lost Souls MC as based in the valleys. In actual fact they were a few lads based in mid wales and Shropshire. They did not have a bottom rocker on purpose as they did not lay claim to any
place. Freedom of spirit being an important part of their ethos. Dates 1983-1987..............Dave, July 2013

Has anyone visited Internal Fire Museum at Tanygroes, Ceredigion. It is an amazing place if you are interested in engines, they have giants from 500hp down to single cylinder farm engines. Even a Proteus Jet Engine. What's so different is they are all running, the sound and smell is intoxicating. Just thought you might be interested, as I was (am!). .....David, February 2014

Dog town mc South Wales was a club of a few kids (say 20?) who rode mopeds in 1973 . We had patches made out of felt and hung out in Llanbradach. As we got older we got better bikes but the patch wearing and club stuff faded out. Some of us still see each other and ride cool bikes now. I remember riding 'round in a gang thinking we were really cool. We went on a run to Tregaron and stayed in the operation Julie LSD cottage. We moved our regular base from the Llanbradach car park to the Forge Hammer in Machen........John Evans, November 2014

Great site ! I was invited to the 1982 Y TWRCH TRWYTH Rally and I was 17 at the time. It was held in what I can remember an old pub and I remember crossing a bridge to get to it. I found the original patch I was given the other day whilst sorting some stuff out at my mothers house. I was riding a GS250 if I remember correctly and was a member of The Shovel MCC in Stourbridge, West Mids. How time flies! Rob (email: [email protected]).............September 2105
