Welcome to North Downs HOC

 

               

 

North Downs is just one of many branches of the Honda Owners Club (GB), which is a club run by the members, for the members.  We cater for HOC members in the Surrey and Sussex areas of the UK which feature great roads and some of the best biking meets in the country, Box Hill, Newlands Corner and Whiteways (Bury Hill).  Our aim is to provide a fun, social atmosphere and enjoy riding our bikes. From day rides and trips out, to planned rallies and nights away, advanced rider training or even just a meet down the local for a pint! Whatever you ride, you'll be very welcome in the Honda Owners Club.

Check out some of the benefits of being a member here.

It's easy to join the HOC either online or via the downloadable form.

Thanks very much to all who turned up for our first branch meeting on the 4th of March 2010 at The Crown Public House, Capel, Surrey, RH5 5JY.  The meeting was a great success with everybody getting to know each other.  See pictures from the evening here.
