JAMPOT Cancellation

PERMANENT CANCELLATION OF JAMPOT RALLYE

March 20, 2026

To all Past JAMPOT Participants and Fans,

It is with a heavy heart and after much deliberation that I announce the permanent cancellation of our annual event, effective immediately.

For the past 48 years, the Kahunas have enjoyed bringing the Matchless/AJS/British riding community together for this annual weekend rally. However, due to dwindling participation, we can no longer sustain this event at the high standard you deserve. Fewer people were attending each year due to various reasons most of which are associated with aging. The final blow came last year when our Canadian friends patriotically refused to cross the border and indicated that they will not do so this year as well.

I and all the past Kahunas want to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who attended, volunteered, and supported the event over the years. The friendships, memories, and camaraderie shared at Bucksteep and Blackthorne will not be forgotten.

This decision is final, and there will be no future JAMPOT rallies. We encourage you to keep supporting local British motorcycle riding clubs, charity runs, etc. in your region.

Thank you for being a part of this amazing 48 year journey.

Ride safe,

John Les
