Bikers gathered at the Guide Inn, Hainworth, at the weekend for the first ever get-together organised by a newly formed motorcycle club.

The Bike Bash, set up by Denholme and District Motorcycle Club, attracted motorcyclists from throughout Yorkshire.

It was the biggest event the club has organised since its reformation in April, spearheaded by Keighley's Paul Suckley, pictured.

The two-day gathering -- an area was set aside for people to set up tents -- included a number of events such as a display of trick riding. "For those who made it through the night we had a couple of chuck wagons providing breakfast," said Paul.

Central to the event was a big marquee, where live bands performed and where a barbecue was set up.

The club was reformed after folding in the mid 1980s. It was first established in 1965 and in its heyday, had hundreds of members, people travelling for miles to attend.

"We have been amazed by the interest the club has generated in such a short time of setting it up again," added Paul, who joined the original club in 1965.

The club also produces a newsletter -- All Torque -- which is published about once a month.

He said the club was also organising regular Sunday group rides, setting out from Colin Appleyard motorcycle dealers in Keighley on Sunday mornings.
