Our riders vary from general commuters, scooter riders, postie riders, big motorcycle riders, dirt bike lovers to the Patch & Club Boys for whom motorcycle riding is more than a passion - it’s a lifestyle. You just can’t stereotype a motorcycle rider, they may indeed be your neighbour, friend, family member or colleague!
