New: 2021 Events

Noon 28-09-20: This event has been cancelled and rescheduled for 30th May 2021.

We will be in direct contact with exhibitors and visitors to arrange full ticket refunds.

The Italian Car and Bike day has been postponed until 30th May 2021. This is as a result of tightening Covid related restrictions, resulting in lower than anticipated attendance.

Understandably people are nervous about attending any event with the rule of 6, local lockdowns and tightening event restrictions. All tickets can be refunded in full or retained and they will be valid for the 2021 event. We will be in direct contact with those who have purchased tickets to arrange refunds.

From 21st – 29th November 2020, bike fans can enjoy an array of unique content, see the latest bikes and enter exclusive competitions with Motorcycle Live Online.

With a raft of dedicated content and videos in the making, ‘show attendees’ can expect their fix of biking in November as they always have. We’re pleased to be supported by Bikesure Insurance, and of course the manufacturers and key brand holders within the motorcycle industry.

Managing Director of Motorcycle Live, Finlay McAllan said: “When we made the difficult decision to postpone Motorcycle Live this year, our thoughts instantly turned to how we could still offer our visitors a show experience. We’re looking forward to delivering, motorcycle and scooter launches, exclusive competitions, bargains and latest news to our fans over the course of the ‘show’!

“By presenting Motorcycle Live Online over the course of the ‘normal’ nine-day show period, we hope to give our fans, followers and regular visitors plenty of entertainment, and give something back for all the support we have been shown throughout the years.”

Motorcycle Live Online in association with Bikesure Insurance takes place between 21-29 November on www.motorcyclelive.co.uk & on https://www.youtube.com/user/MotorcycleLive/videos

The UK Buell Enthusiasts Group has enjoyed an excellent relationship with the National Motorcycle Museum since 1998 and has held many events there. Now in their time of need the very least we can do is to help publicise this urgent appeal for help.

This is an urgent appeal from the National Motorcycle Museum concerning our plans for how and when we might be able to reopen, and the impact that the Covid-19 pandemic has had on our business.

Many visitors will not realise that the National Motorcycle Museum receives no external funding whatsoever. This means that, not only do we rely on visitors to the museum, but mainly on the income from our conference business and two sister hotels.

Everyone knows that hospitality and leisure has been one of the worst hit sectors, and we don’t know when our National Conference Centre, Manor Hotel Meriden, and Windmill Village Hotel Coventry will be able to reopen fully, let alone trade profitably.

Museum Director James Hewing explains further: “Without the income from our three sister businesses, there is little likelihood of the museum opening, and then remaining open, until they return to normal trading.

The museum itself requires a surplus of around £500,000 per year just to break even. Without making this appeal, we may have to sell some of our reserve collection of bikes, the last thing we would ever have wanted to do.

Unfortunately, all our business activities are in one of the hardest hit sectors, and we simply don’t know how long they will take to recover”.

Therefore, the museum is launching an appeal which gives people the chance to help us raise the £500,000 required in two different ways.

COVID-19 MUSEUM APPEAL RAFFLE
We will be launching a special Covid-19 Museum appeal raffle with the chance to win the following fantastic classic motorcycles, one new/old stock and two which have been restored in the museums workshop's! This special appeal raffle will be extra to our normal summer & winter raffles which will operate as usual.

The draw will take place on Monday 21/12/20 at the National Motorcycle Museum.
Tickets cost £6.00 each & will be distributed during August & Sept 2020 via subscription copies of the specialist press. Tickets may also be obtained on-line from www.thenmm.co.uk 

DONATE TO OUR APPEAL FUND
By visiting our website www.thenmm.co.uk and donating to our reopening appeal fund. You will find a link to the appeal fund donation page and can be assured that any amount donated will be used to help us reopen/remain open until normal trading resumes. Not only this, but you will be helping to preserve as much of our reserve collection as possible.
