Friends Of The National Motorcycle Museum

Published: 23/01/2020

One of the most important aspects of the National Motorcycle Museum Friends scheme is giving its members the chance to take part in some unique activities that just wouldn’t be possible otherwise. Some of this unique content includes our “Classic Bike Tours”, “Ride a Classic Days” & our “Workshop Training Days”. The museum is pleased to announce the first of these dates for 2020 which are exclusive to Friends of the Museum.  More dates will be announced during the year. See www.thenmm.co.uk for more details.

 NMM Friends “Try a Classic Bike” Day: Sat 28/03/20.

With further dates to be announced, Saturday 28th March will see the first of this year’s “Try a Classic Bike Days”.

Friends scheme members will get the chance to ride a number of “laps” on various motorcycles from the museum’s inventory in a “closed roads” environment within the museum grounds. Machines will include a selection of veteran & vintage machines with lever throttle/hand change (training provided) as well as later machines from 1940s-1960s including Brough & Vincent!!

There will be a choice of either morning or afternoon sessions with a nominal fee of just £15.00 for Friends of the Museum making this cost substantially less than other similar opportunities.   

NMM Friends Classic Bike Tours: Sat 04/04/20.

The first of a number of dates throughout 2020, Friends scheme members will have the opportunity to ride some of the most exciting and valuable classic motorcycles from the museum’s inventory. Those taking part will receive an induction and “off road” training before being escorted by expert “advanced” motorcycle instructors around the beautiful Warwickshire countryside. The machinery on offer varies from a BSA B31 to a Brough Superior SS100!

Each class of machine attracts a different “hire” fee which includes insurance costs and lunch in the museum restaurant.  

Plus many more exciting activities to be announced.

Many more activities for Friends of the Museum will be announced during the coming months. These include lots more opportunities to ride bikes on our various riding days throughout 2020, as well as enjoying two museum workshop days presented by Classic Bike Magazine’s Rick Parkington (“Ricks Fixes”).

Not only this, but our Friends can also take part in exclusive factory tours, as well as visits to some specialist collections that are not normally open to the general public!
