Whether getting your ride prepped for a summer adventure, doing some much-needed maintenance to keep things running smoothly, or you just enjoy tinkering, Riderr offer a wide range of accessories to make sure you’ve got all the essentials covered. 

The DR1VR show is returning to the British Motor Museum on Sunday 14 September for its third consecutive year! Visitors can once again enjoy a relaxed day out with live music whilst admiring hundreds of modified cars, including modern and classic stance, track builds, and timeless classics. The first two shows have featured hundreds of the UK & Europe’s finest inspired builds, and many more are expected this year due to its popularity.

Since 2017, DR1VR has been dedicated to producing automotive lifestyle accessories and media focusing on the modified, drift and racing car communities. They have built an ethos of 'respect every build', regardless of how customised the car is, whether it is bagged or on coilovers, wrapped or painted – every vehicle has value. As with the last two years, all show vehicles must be pre-selected and approved before being entered into the show.

Tom Caren, Shows Manager at the British Motor Museum, said, “It’s great to see the DR1VR show is returning to the Museum for its third year. This show is the place to be for all motoring enthusiasts! Visitors do not need to turn up in a custom vehicle; they can simply visit the show displays and Museum buildings and take in hundreds of these fantastic, modified cars!”

Visitors and exhibitors can also enjoy exploring over 400 historic British cars across the Museum and Collections Centre, as entry is included with the Show ticket. Exhibitor tickets are just £12, including entry for the driver and their car. Passenger tickets are available for exhibitors at a special discounted rate of £12 per adult and £9 per child, so you can bring the whole family along! Visitor show tickets cost £17 per adult, £9 per child, £15 per concession and £46 for a family of 4.

On Saturday 6 & Sunday 7 September the British Motor Museum will host over 300 trucks at the Retro Truck Show. Modern and classic trucks will once again descend on Gaydon for this popular show - one of the largest truck shows in the calendar! Now in its 15th year, the show features some of the best trucks produced between 1971 and 2001, making for a nostalgic and family-friendly event.

Enthusiasts can see an array of powerful vehicles from some of the biggest names in trucking, including Volvo, Scania, DAF, Foden and ERF trucks. Trucks from across Europe, notably France, the Netherlands and Belgium, will also be present, giving a continental flavour to the impressive display!

All trucks built between 1971 to 2001 are welcome to attend, at a cost of just £30 to exhibit a vehicle. The Retro Truck Show provides a fantastic opportunity for truck fans to get together and admire the displays. Visitors also have the option to camp in the Museum’s grounds on the Friday and Saturday nights for just £26 per pitch per night for two adults, and vehicle exhibitors can camp in their vehicle for free! For truck owners, this annual weekend makes for the perfect trucking holiday and the chance to catch up with friends and like-minded truck enthusiasts. There will also be an Indoor Model Show and trade area with a range of photos, models, and brochures.

Tom Caren, Show Manager at the British Motor Museum, said, “This show is one of our most popular and a great weekend out for owners, drivers, enthusiasts, and the public. It’s a wonderful spectacle to see the trucks lined up in rows and a fantastic opportunity to admire them up close!”

Burgers and ice creams will be available to purchase outside, and hot meals, sweet treats and refreshments can be found in the Museum’s Junction 12 Café. Visitors can also enjoy exploring the Museum and Collections Centre as entry is included with the show ticket. Camping is available on the Friday and Saturday nights for an additional charge.

Advance tickets for each day cost £17 for adults, £9 for children, £15 for concessions and £46 for a family of 4. Plus, visitors can convert their ticket to an Annual Pass at no extra cost! Sunday is the busier day with more trucks on display.

Extra Large – the name says it all with the Touratech Expedition XL engine guard. Raised further at the front and sides and extended down to the collector, it offers even more comprehensive protection for the 1300 Boxer than the tried-and-tested standard version.

Rock edges, tree trunks and constant impact from loose stones: the oil sump and engine housing are among the most vulnerable components when riding off-road. To ensure that your off-road adventure doesn't end prematurely in disaster, Touratech offers the Expedition XL engine guard for the BMW R 1300 GS and its sister model, the Adventure.

Built for the toughest demands
Manufactured from four-millimetre-thick aluminium, bent for maximum rigidity, welded and raised extra high at the front and sides, this top-of-the-range protector extends down to below the exhaust manifold. And it takes on all the challenges that off-road use has to offer. It protects against stone impact, distributes the forces in the event of a grounding over a large area to several screw-on points thanks to the stainless steel mounting plate, and glides smoothly over obstacles thanks to its shape and the plastic rails on the underside.

Maximum functionality
Of course, the Touratech developers focused not only on maximum protection, but also on optimum usability. Thanks to the clever design, lean angle is fully retained, and ground clearance is only minimally reduced compared to a completely unprotected engine.
If the Touratech Expedition XL engine guard needs to be removed for maintenance work, this is no problem either. The critical screw heads are securely countersunk and additionally covered by the replaceable plastic rails.
The Touratech Expedition XL engine guard is your reliable companion when the road ends and the adventure begins. It is the logical evolution of the proven Expedition engine guard for particularly tough use on long-distance trips or off-road.
