Overview
At the Moon Rally, organised by Stalybridge Motorcycle Club, 900 bikers meet up at the Rising Moon pub in Hyde, Greater Manchester, for a weekend of riding and talking bikes, rock music and drinking. And, of course, the sport of piston-flinging, the joys of the muddy campsite, the flimsy canvas portaloos, and a hearty fried breakfast to ease the hangover, which all make for a memorable weekend.
