The Vintage Japanese Motorcycle Club (VJMC) is a long established club of worldwide notoriety and is a club for anybody who has an interest in Japanese bikes 15 years old or more.

VJMC Leinster’s first meeting was in April 2010 at which five bikes turned up! Since then things have grown steadily and peaked at over thirty bikes for one bike meeting, which in itself was akin to a mini bike show as you just don’t see these machines on a day to day basis. Members interest is wide and varied in relation to the bikes, everything from Honda 50’s to rare RC30’S, Katanas, GT750 Kettles, CBX1000’s, GSXR’S the list goes on..

The club is primarily for Japanese bikes 15 years old or more however anyone is welcome to turn up to our Sunday meetings in Dunboyne village on any bike of any year.
The 15 year age limit does not necessarily mean “old shonkers” as there are plenty of good bikes to choose from right up to the current cut off point of the year 2010
