Welcome to the Pan-Clan
The UK club for the Pan-European, ST1100 and ST1300, motorcycles.


Challenge 2012

The Challenge is a one-day 'treasure hunt' style event that is an excuse to get away for the weekend. Each year a different area of the club volunteers to organise the event, and as there are no 'rules' as to how the event should run, each year is different.

For 2012 it's very different. The event takes place in Derby, arriving on the Friday night ready for a Saturday start. But this year the 'hunt' is in and around the city centre, so the bike gets a day of rest. But Saturday evening the Challenge Cup will be awarded.

On the Sunday morning there is a local ride-out and then dispersal to home. Members can find more details and costs in the members' area.


Membership Renewal.

Yes, it's getting to that time of year again. Members should see the Members' Only page and then log-in for important information about this year's renewal.


Isle of Man - September

The North West area are planning a trip to the IoM in September. For more details log-in to the members' area and see the Future Events list for September.


Important news for any motorists (bikes and cars) travelling to/through France.

From 1st July 2012, a new law comes into force in France requiring all motorists to carry (and use if applicable) portable breathalyser equipment.

No, it's not a spoof, and it's not April 1st. If you are riding or driving through France, then you should read this news item.

The Pan-Clan

Established 1993

The Pan-Clan is a UK wide club for owners of the Honda Pan-European models. These are currently the ST-1100 and ST-1300, but we are ever hopeful that Honda are about to launch a replacement model.

The Club is UK wide, but the country is divided into more manageable areas, which can be seen listed in the top left of this page. To see which area you would be in, visit this interactive map.

Each Area has an Area Rep who is responsible for informing all the members in their area about National and Local events that are taking place.

All Areas will have a schedule of ride-outs for each year. You can contact your nearest Area Rep to arrange a "Try before you Buy" where you will be made very welcome to attend one of the area events, and one of their regular meetings too.

Around this page you will see information about the various National Events we organise for the Pan-Clan members (sorry, these are strictly Pan-Clan members only). Elsewhere on the site is the information about how you can join the Pan-Clan. There is also information about the bi-Monthly magazine (PANtasia) sent to all members.

If you are not sure which area you might be in, check out the map on the Areas page. As a member of the Pan-Clan you can attend any area meeting, the assignment to an Area Rep is purely so you don't get forgotten! If you live near the border of one of our areas, it might be more appropriate and quicker to visit the adjoining areas meetings. You'll be very welcome wherever you attend.

Other National Events

Challenge 2012

There is a lot of enjoyment in going out for a ride on the Pan. But how much more fun is there if you are using it for a bit more than getting from A to B.

Members can find more information about this year's Challenge by logging in and follow the link. Click here to be taken straight there (you may need to enter the security details).

The annual Challenge event is a social weekend that includes a 'treasure hunt' on the Saturday. For more details about this event see the Challenge page.


NEWS Run 2013

The NEWS Run is a National Event open to all members of the Pan-Clan. It is a one day meeting at a location of national interest. Each year one of the areas will opt to organise the NEWS event., and so it moves around the UK.


Tickler

Now available on the Tickler page is a link to a short video of the 2011 Tickler to Le Mont Dore, France

The Pan-European is a great bike for touring, and as its name implies, it loves the open roads of Europe. Whilst many Pan-Clan riders have experienced the delights of touring on mainland Europe, many find the idea quite daunting.

If you are one of those, or just fancy a short break in Europe with a group of like minded bikers read on ...


Social Events

Social Events are organised at both a National and Local level. These can range from mid-summer evening runs to some local meeting place; a couple of games of 10-pin bowling; an informal party-night; theatre trips; boat trips. Members will receive information in the National club magazine PANtasia or from their area rep.


International Pan Gathering

Each year somewhere in Europe is the International Pan Gathering. This was organised by the UK Pan-Clan and based in England in 2010. The Belgium Pan riders organised it in 2011, and the Austrian club are doing it in 2012. Prior to that it has been held in UK, Austria, Holland, Germany, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Ireland and Norway. This event is open to ALL Pan-European riders, and you don't have to be a member of a club to attend. For more details of the 2012 event click here
