Inaugural meeting of the classic FF club?
Hopefully affiliated to the VMCC (All these vehicles eligable).
Then at least they'd get cheap insurance - in the event that anyone actually uses them
Non-eligibility of Genesis and Adiva for VMCC
FWIW there are two machines in the photo that are (still) not eligible for VMCC affiliation, even 12 years after this photo was taken, assuming a 25 year age requirement. The bright orange Genesis was built between 2003 and 2007 and based on the chassis and powertrain of a 2001 Suzuki Burgman AN650. The bog-standard roofed Benelli Adiva 150 (half-hidden behind the white Phasar) would have been brand new circa 2001-3. PNB
There are more than 50 photos showing the history and development of the Pegram Genesis 650 here: https://bikeweb.com/image/tid/18
There's also a much clearer photo of Terry Harding and his 150 Benelli Adiva at Beaulieu in 2007 here:
