The Area
Derbyshire offers many things to the motorcycling public. Probably one of the best known runs (Cat & Fiddle), the famous Matlock Bath and race venues like Mallory and Donnington on our doorstep. You will also find great pubs in our area served by the breweries of Burton upon Trent, of which most are biker friendly. Our area also hosts the unmissable Rock & Blues festival at Pentrich (see External Links) and the infamous MFN. So much to see and do, you know it’s worth a ride out!!

WE HAVE RECEIVED THE FOLLOWING FROM A PLYMOUTH BIKER......PLEASE SUPPORT THIS!!
Hi, I'm petitioning for a change on the roads for bikers, to cover up all manhole covers with gripped surfaces to stop bikers coming off or other vehicles.
Please could you take a look, sign and forward this message to anyone you know or post the message on your web site if you believe we can make a difference.

This Site
Whats the idea then? We are a small group of people living in Derby who all ride motorbikes. Good start eh! We got talking and discovered that there was nowhere that bikers either in or visiting Derby could find biker related information, so we decided to come up with this site. We do not profess to be biking gods just friendly people who enjoy some of the best roads in the country and would like others to get the best out of their bikes (safely!!).
You have heard it before, but I will say it again, keep the tricks off the roads!! If you really need to get your knee down, go to a track day. In our experience bikers are the friendliest bunch of people you could ever meet but there are one or two who insist on ignoring everyone else on the road and taking stupid chances. Far too many bikers end up in hospital (or worse). Keep it safe, you can still have buckets of fun and live to be a ripe old age.
Rant over. If you would like to contribute anything to this site, please let us know by sending an email. We want as much information on this site as possible. We operate this out of our own pockets, but if you would like to advertise your business we would be happy to help for a small fee (to go towards the upkeep of this site)
Charity Rides
Over the years we have taken part in many charity events and indeed held a few ourselves. We will gladly advertise your event on this site, just send us the details. If we can we will also take part (good eh?).
