The SoCal Norton Club’s 45th Annual Hansen Dam Rally (largely for British bikes and their fans) will be held tomorrow, Sunday, November 3rd. Hansen Dam is located off Osborne street at the intersection of the I-210 freeway and Foothill Blvd. on the northwest side of the Hansen Dam Recreation area in Lakeview Terrace, California. A bike show in the lower parking lot from 7:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. will be followed by a ride on a route mapped out by volunteers.

Brady Walker (promoter of Ramming Speed and Classic Track Days and The Californian motorcycle show) sent us a note about the rally, reading in part, “It’s the SoCal Norton Club Hansen Dam Rally and you need to see it to believe it! As this rally is free to attend, including entering your bike in the ride-in show, the club needs your support to pay the bills! So bring some cash, renew your annual membership, grab a T-shirt and support the largest vintage ride-in rally on the west coast! Volunteers will be on site at 6:00 a.m. and control traffic until 9:00 a.m., at which point we will tally the ‘People’s Choice’ ballots for an awards ceremony at 10:00 a.m. 

“Once you arrive, you will be approached at the parking lot divider and asked if you want to be in the FREE ride-in show, or if you’d rather NOT be in the show.  Show goers will be parked on the left side of the parking lot next to the Norton Club booths.  Everyone else can park on the right side at their leisure.

“There will be trophies & Biltwell Prize Packs ($200 value) for winners in the following classes: Best British – 1950s; Best British – 1960s; Best British – 1970s; Best Modern British; Best British Custom; Oldest British Bike; Best Non-British Bike; Best British in Show; Best Norton in Show.”
