NORAL Section The Northern Alberta Section of the Canadian Vintage Motorcycle Group (NORAL) was founded in 1988, when a couple of Edmonton CVMG members thought that it was time to meet other enthusiasts. They entered the annual Cycle Expo Show at West Edmonton Mall with two bikes. Within a few short years, Noral has grown to be among the largest sections in the country with members from all over northern Alberta and the North West Territories.
