Bike Meet Photos – Sept 24

We had dry sunny weather for our Lunchtime Bike meet on the 28 September. We had an interesting collection of about 80 bikes on show and with the bar open and a good selection of hot food available it was a fun afternoon. A great way to round off the bike show season. Here are some photos of the event.

British Superbike 24 – Pictures

Watching the racing on the main straight

We were at Thruxton for the entire weekend of the British Superbikes Championship, Friday through to Sunday in August 2024. We had our own stand there which we set up on the Thursday afternoon so it was ready for the whole three day event. We had a display of around 15 bikes there for each of the three days. Our members took it turns to man the stand, so everyone had an opportunity to see everything else at the event, including some racing.

We had a great time. See some photos below of the weekend.

See the video below for some great shots of the bikes we had on display on our stand.

Ireland Tour 2023

Overtaking safely on rides

We often have to overtake cars when out on rides and its one of the most challenging and risky maneuvers that we do. Safe overtaking is an important part of advanced motorcycle training. This video explains the right way to overtake with a number of examples.
