Motorcycles I'd love to own

Motos que j'aimerais posséder

Every motorcycle at the rally is in the running. We select 3 motorcycles that we consider to be special in some way. For example rare, beautifully restored, original, or modified to name a few examples. We hope this will be more inclusive. The selection committee will visit each campsite and view all the motorcycles. We request that owners label their bikes with toe-tags provided at registration. Plaques will be presented to the owners of  selected bikes after dinner Saturday.

Toutes les motos du rallye sont en lice. Nous sélectionnons 3 motos que nous considérons comme spéciales d'une certaine manière. Par exemple rare, magnifiquement restauré, original ou modifié pour ne citer que quelques exemples. Nous espérons que ce sera plus inclusif. Le comité de sélection visitera chaque camping et verra toutes les motos. Nous demandons aux propriétaires d'étiqueter leurs vélos avec des étiquettes fournies lors de l'inscription. Des plaques seront remises aux propriétaires des vélos sélectionnés après le dîner samedi.

  2026 Recipients & Information

1976 Harley Davidson
Sportster XLH

Owner: Bill Corneil
              CVMG Ausable River Section Member

This 1000cc, 37,700 km motorcycle was purchased from the original owner and underwent a complete bare frame restoration. The body colour is factory original, but rare, Vivid Blue Metallic. All chrome pieces were returned to show room condition. This beautifully restored package presents very nicely and is fine example of H-D’s flamboyant styling skills at their best.


1949 Vincent-HRD
Series C Black Shadow

Owner: Michael McClements
               CVMG Kitchener Section Member

This 998cc motorcycle was purchased in 1966 by the owner as an original non-runner to undergo a complete frame off restoration. Over the last 60 years the owner searched out all of the necessary original parts required for the project. With the assistance of CVMG member and Vincent specialist Phil Mahood, the mechanicals were restored to original condition with reassembly completed in preparation for the first start up which occurred during the 2026 National Rally, at the Headwaters Section campsite. The sound was indeed, marvelous.

1940 Indian Four

Owner: Tom Wilcock
      CVMG Great Pine Ridge Section Member

This 1200cc, 3 speed motorcycle was completely restored by the owner in 1980 and has been ridden regularly for the past 46 years, accumulating 74,500 miles since restoration, with travels “a mari usque ad mare” to Alaska, Yukon and Newfoundland. The owner noted that he used it as his daily driver to work for many years and that it has always been a smooth, comfortable ride.

  2026 Recipients & Information

1968 Honda CB350P - Police Bike


Owner: Jack Smith
Story: The first part of this machine purchased in 2018 by the owner was the gas tank which was missing one tank badge. It took six years of literally searching the globe to find that missing badge as well as all of the remaining parts required to assemble a complete bike. The hardest part to find was the siren. The bike is roadworthy, but cannot be ridden in Ontario in original condition as the front turn signals have a blue lens. To be legal they must be changed to an amber lens. Additionally, the large red flasher lights must be covered. The owner claims this is the only known version of this police bike in North America.

1949 Vincent HRD Series B Rapide


Owner: Phil Mahood (Entrant, 1st CVMG Annual Rally)
Story: This machine was purchased by the owner in 2003. While under restoration in 2022 it was destroyed in a house fire. Fortunately, 75% of the parts of the bike were salvaged as usable and a renewed restoration was started in 2023. It was put back on the road in spring 2025.


1960 BSA Gold Star 500


Owner: John Cooper (CVMG Founding Member)
Story: This machine was purchased buy the owner in 1985 as a collection of parts contained in two wooden sea chests for a princely sum of $1.00. The owner stated that he has spent considerably more than that on the restoration. On March 6, 2000 the owner rode the bike at the Daytona International Speedway and achieved a recorded maximum speed of 117 MPH.


1938 Rudge Ulster


Owner: Andrew Bosson (Great Pine Ridge Section Founding Member)
Story: The owner has collected four Rudge motorcycles. This particular machine was restored over a 25 year period with the required parts sourced from all corners of the British Commonwealth. The frame was hand made by the owner.
