Our Impact
Through our passion for motorcycles and our belief in Freemasonary, we try to put as much back into the community as we can.
This can include raising money for local charities or supporting motorcycle lead charity events such as the Easter Egg or Santa Runs.
We love to visit fellow bikers who have retired to the comfort of a care home and as such can no longer enjoy their passion and love of motorcycles.
