About Us

Who we are

Basically, we are a bunch of people that ride bikes, party and enjoy our life style. (What more can I say???).  We are a small club that has a lot of fun, has no interest in internal politics (the club is run by the members), that likes to do a bit for charity whilst getting out and about.  All bikes are welcome, (who says size matters), along with their riders.  We are affiliated to the BMF and MAG and try to get to one of each of their major events every year.

What we do

Ride bikes, drink beer, listen to music, meet people, raise money and have FUN.  We are into rallies and the each year we try to make it to some new sites.      

The main charity's we support are:

Bassetlaw District Hospital A&E Pediatric Endowment Fund.  We have an annual run (about March) to raise money for the kiddies fund to buy things to make their hospital stay a little more bearable.

Riders for Health.  Sponsored by some motorcycle Grand Prix riders the charity aims to get motorcyclists and supporting infrastructure to less well off places in the world.  Each year a major event (Day of Champions) is held at Donnington Park where the proceeds from the event go to the charity.  The day is rounded off by an auction where GP stars donate items for purchase.  We are proud to have been able to offer our assistance to this event for the past few years.

How we came to be

The club started up in 2001 as the Suzuki Owners Club East Midlands (S.O.C.E.M).  However due to some internal wrangling and politics S.O.C.E.M ground to a halt.  A few people carried on meeting at the Lock Tavern in Worksop, trying to keep some club spirit going.  A club was running but without any name!   One Thursday a group from the Long Riders (Pheasant - Sheffield) came along and liked what we are about and who we are, so they offered us the use of their club name.  So thanks to their generosity we now have a club name to be proud of.  In 2003 we moved, from the Lock Tavern, to the Sherwood Lodge, Gringley-on-the-Hill.
