The Exeter Classic Motorcycle Club was founded in 1988 and welcomes riders of all types of motorcycle and anyone with an interest in motorcycling in general.

The Dartmoor Run was instigated when it was found that a motorcycle, which had won a classic competition, did not actually run as it had no internal engine components. The Dartmoor Run is a real test of motorcycles, some from the 1950s and earlier.
