Welcome to the Freaks of Nature motorcycle and party club's website.
Based in Northampton England, we have been around since 1997, having
formed at a biker rally "Tossin the Slipper" hosted by the Crazy
Diamonds. Our claim to fame is the Easter Egg Run, which has been going
since 1999, you can see more about this on the
Egg Run page.

A word from Gaffa, our valiant Chairman
ABOUT US AND WHAT WE DO
WHEN IT ALL BEGAN
We started as a group of friends that used to like similar things,
drink in the same pubs and generally party together. A few of us were
bikers and others had an interest in motorcycles and we all liked to
have a damn good party.
We decided to start the Freaks Of Nature M.C.A.P.C.
(motorcycle and party club) membership numbers increased and decreased
until we were left with the current "hard core" as it were. We had a
few trips out and some real good times, then whilst on a ride in
Derbyshire our Chairman came upon an Easter egg run. This involved lots
of motorbikes riding in convoy to deliver donated Easter eggs to a
council car park where they were stored and then distributed to local
kids homes. The whole thing took about an hour, but to see two hundred
motorcycles all riding together was an inspiration. The following year
the Freaks decided to hold their own egg run.
Our first egg run was hailed a success, only about 35 bikes took part but from small acorns… you know the rest.
As you will see this run left from what was then the Fitchet &
Firkin public house on Commercial Street in Northampton, we had lots of
raffle prizes donated by local shops and businesses and we raised about
£400 for the kid's wards at Northampton General Hospital. As well as
the run being a success we also congratulated ourselves on the
organisation, a major part of which was the marshalling. Our marshals
the first year were arranged by Chinky Pete, then a member of the Crazy
Diamonds, (another local bike club, that supported us with the event)
they rode out ahead of us and stopped traffic at junctions so that we
could all travel together without interruption to make the trip as
smooth as possible.… Since then the run has set off from The Duke of Edinburgh, The King Billy, and this year we will be leaving from
The Picturedrome
Before you go thinking we're a rowdy lot who got kicked out of the
other venues we have had to move due to the continuing popularity of
this event. Numbers have grown over the years and we anticipate over
200 vehicles this year and need to be able to accommodate a scooter
club and the Mini owners club, so onto bigger and hopefully better
things.
The Egg Run isn't all we've done, we once held a treasure hunt and
though this was fun to do didn't prove as popular as we'd hoped so we
held a beach party instead. Yes a beach party in Northampton, the
furthest point from a coast in the U.K. We filled the King Billy with
two tons of sand and the landlord decorated the garden with palm trees.
This proved to be far more fun than even we had planned. It was quite a
sight to see, 2 o'clock in the morning half a dozen "well 'ard" bikers
on their hands and knees having a sand castle building competition.
It was great when it all began
Recognise that? Well any Rocky Horror officiado will be able to fill
you in, we also held a Rocky Horror picture show party once again at
the King Billy (Steve and Nick were such great landlords) where we
showed the film, gave out "audience participation" bags complete with
toast, rice, cards, prompt sheet and all the usual stuff associated
with said movie. The guvnors of the pub got a licence so that we could
show the film and once again a good time was had by all who took part.
I must point out that Gaffa "El presidentay" was the only person who
knew all of the audience participation lines and took great pleasure
in…well…showing off. Much to the chagrin of the rest of us, lets face
it "well 'ard bikers" dressed in women's clothes and enjoying
themselves was... erm... fun but you can only have so much fun dressed
like that can't you…CAN'T YOU?
We have been to many rallies and even had our own "private" rally in
Southend on sea in the Chairman's mothers back garden, but hey any
excuse for a party.
Sadly membership numbers dwindled and now there is only a handful of us
left but, we are still in contact with many of our ex members and still
enjoy a good booze up with them. Many still help out with our events
and we now have a couple of probie members.
The Logo STOLEN,
ripped off, nicked. Yep that's about the size of it. Freak of nature
were a band and our logo was on the front of a cd of theirs, in fact it
was because of this we chose the name. We searched for many a week to
try to get permission to use it until we got an e-mail from one of the
band. They told us that it would be fine and that there was no
copyright on the image anyway so we had the green light and away we
went.
On to the one we call D.K.
Ah our web master the one responsible for the web site you are at this
moment in time casting your beady little eyes over. He's a one, an
entity, an exclusive. To start D.K. is an abbreviated version of his
original "given" club name, he was known as "Don't know", given this
name due to his non-existent sense of direction. "Where are you dood"?
"I don't know" "Where are you going dood"? "I don't know" you get the
picture. Then the man came into his own "I want to do a club web site"
he said "yeah alright" we said and then wow. You have to say not a bad
effort. And so with new respect we all agreed D.K. was a far more
respectful name for such a master of the web who since managed to make
his way around Scotland & France single-handed.
