    Posted on

    With Henry Cole and The Motorbike Show crew rolling into the new riding season in unmistakable style.

    Riders are invited to dust off the leathers, wake the bike from its winter slumber, and point it towards a proper day out celebrating everything great about life on two wheels.
    With tea flowing and bacon sandwiches hot off the grill, visitors can experience the rare buzz of seeing real television made up close.

    The Motorbike Show – Spring Ride-In

    Henry and the team will be setting up camp in the Museum’s impressive Britannia Suite, where cameras will be rolling to film a brand-new episode of Shed Talk in front of a live audience.

    The episode will see Henry in conversation with a star guest from the motorcycling world, delving into their life, passions, and those unforgettable moments that only ever happen on two wheels — all produced exclusively for themotorbikeshow.com

    A limited number of seats for the live recording will be available on a first-come, first-served basis.
    Once filming wraps, fans can head to the meet-and-greet area to say hello, grab a selfie, and enjoy a proper natter with Henry and his co-presenters.

    venue: The National Motorcycle Museum, Coventry Road, Bickenhill, Solihull, West Midlands, B92 0EJ
    price: Entry to the Spring Ride-In is free. Half-price entry to the National Motorcycle Museum collection on the day — just £8.50 instead of £17 (per adult ticket)

  3. Fleet Lions 39th Classic Motorcycle Run Returns

    Posted on

    The Lions Club of Fleet is proud to announce the return of its much-loved Classic Motorcycle Run and Concours on Monday 4th May 2026, marking the 39th year of this long-standing event.  

    Held in the heart of Fleet, North Hampshire, the event welcomes classic motorcycle enthusiasts from across the region to showcase their machines, enjoy a scenic ride-out, and meet fellow riders. Last year’s event drew around 220 attendees, showing just how much people still love vintage motorcycles and the strong community spirit that comes with them.

    The Classic Motorcycle Run is more than a celebration of engineering - it’s a platform for bringing people together. Families, friends and anyone who’s simply curious turn up to admire the bikes, share stories and support a cause that’s been quietly helping the community for over fifty years.

    Proceeds from the event will support the Lions Club of Fleet’s charity work which include support for healthcare, education, and local outreach programmes. Everyone who takes part plays a role in keeping these efforts going, making the day meaningful for both riders and the wider community.

    Event Details:

    Join us for a day filled with classic motorcycles, community spirit and charitable impact. Let’s make the 39th run a fitting tribute to 53 years of Lions service.
