We’ve heard of some pretty good incentives to get a museum membership…but this one takes the cake.*

According to a report from RideApart, The UK’s National Motorcycle Museum has a neat perk to get the community supporting our historic legacy on two wheels.*

“The Museum typically holds six or so such events per year, usually between March and October, because riding unfamiliar (and priceless) bikes in bad weather is no one’s idea of a good time,” comments the report.*

“In 2022, only one event has been announced so far. It took place back in April, but the Museum does plan on announcing more in the coming months.”

If you’re a member, all you have to cover is the day’s quota of gas and insurance; we even heard that the National Motorcycle Museum’s most recent Try a Classic Bike day cost members a mere £20 (about $25) – and if that doesn’t get you visiting when you’re in the neighbourhood, I don’t know what will.*
