The Hamilton Motor Cycle Club Collection.

Mixing up motorcycle clubs and art? Not likely! The Hamilton Motor Cycle Club and The Waikato Museum did just that.

In motoring terms, torque, crudely put, is a measure used to calculate horsepower; the ‘twisting’ power of an engine to spin its crank-shaft (and anything connected to it!). The Hamilton Motor Cycle Club’s connection to this museum is an odd kind of twisting, except in this case it’s the idea that a motor cycle club and art are merged into a lifelong memory of each other, through their gift of art to the city.

Art Torque celebrates a milestone in the history of the Waikato; H.M.C.C’s 90th Anniversary. All the works in this exhibition were purchased by funds raised and donated by the H.M.C.C. in the mid 1970s to the early 1980s for the benefit of Hamilton City’s art collection.
