We are riders brought together by our passion for old machinery, and by virtue of our usual meeting place thereby came by our name! This Map, over 100 years old, is of historic Bastard TWP.   For a quick history lesson, click on the following link http://www.twprideaulakes.on.ca/heritage/bastard-ward.html

  About 6 years ago with a desire to belong to a Bike Club like the one he left behind in Toronto before his move to Delta Ontario, Ernie Olivo decided to put an ad in a local paper to see if anybody would be interested in joining a club that he was about to form.  The responce was impressive. The club's name was to be 'Old Bastards Vintage Motorcycle Club'.  They formed an executive committee with Ernies as President.  Meetings were once a month in Ernie's shop and soon there were 20 of them.  From then on the club has had an annual Rally and has enjoyed participating in many local shows and events.  The club is doing well and all our profits go to local charities.  

We are vintage motorcycle enthusiasts who meet in old Bastard Township, Ontario. Since we, and many of our bikes, are a bit older too, our name became

"Old Bastard Township Vintage Motorcycle Club" , often shortened   by many folks,  to   "OLD BASTARDS"     

We are  proud to be Bastards in Leeds County, Ontario

What make us different from other vintage bike clubs is our willingness to give to local, worthy charities. Below you will find our latest project towards which we donated funding.

MPP PROUD TO BE A BASTARD
Bob Runciman, PC MPP for the rural eastern Ontario riding of Leeds-Grenville, recently told the Legislature that he was proud to be a bastard. He also accused Premier Rae of being a bastard.

The occasion was the 20th anniversary of the township of Bastard and South Burgess, which is named after a... bastard. Rich in Loyalist Ontario history, this is also the area that became home to that great Canadian patriot, Benedict Arnold, after the U.S. War of Independence. Because of his loyalty to the Queen, Arnold was given 1,800 acres of prime land in the Bastard township area.

Many Americans, on the other hand, are taught that Arnold was one of the worst traitors in American history. To our friends south of the border, he was... a bastard.

Runciman told the Legislature that residents of the Bastard township have provided pins, one of which he was wearing, that said, "I'm Proud to be a Bastard."

This was the first time that MPPs could remember Liberal and NDP MPPs all agreeing with something that Runciman said. Runciman went on to say that an original song had been commissioned. (To be sung by Bob and Doug McKenzie, eh! -- ed.)

"Premier Rae and his family have been longtime summer residents of the township," Runciman continued. "Although I frequently disagree with many of his government's initiatives, we're proud to have him as a resident and a legitimate Bastard."

There was wide agreement from the Liberal and PC MPPs with Runciman on this point.
