2025 has been an unforgettable year for Veloce Club — packed with motorcycles, community, dogs, great food, new brands, and more memories than we can count. Whether you joined us for a ride, grabbed a coffee, took your test, or simply popped in for a chat, thank you for helping make this our biggest and boldest year yet.
Below is a full roundup of everything we achieved together in 2025 — and a look at what’s coming in 2026.
Over 20 Motorcycle Events Hosted in 2025
This year, Veloce Club continued to build one of the most active and welcoming motorcycle communities in the UK. We hosted more than 20 motorcycle events, including:
- Ride outs
- Parties & community socials
- Expert talks
- Manufacturer demo days
- A European motorcycle tour
Each event was designed to bring riders together, celebrate moto culture, and create unforgettable moments both on and off the bike.
Wheels & Waffles: A Ghent Tour – Our Big 2025 Euro Adventure
One of the standout moments of the year was our spring Euro trip: Wheels & Waffles: A Ghent Tour.
We rode from the UK to Ghent, Belgium for a long weekend of incredible roads, great food, and good times. This trip has already become a community favourite — and yes, it’s coming back in 2026 (more on that below!).

Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride – £15,824 Raised!
We were incredibly proud to host the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride once again — and together we raised over £15,824.
A massive thank you to every rider, donor, and volunteer who helped us support men’s health and suicide prevention charities. This is one of our most meaningful annual events, and your generosity made a real impact.
Building Better Riders: HBAM Taster Sessions
We partnered with HBAM to host advanced riding taster sessions, supporting riders who want to sharpen their skills and ride more confidently. These sessions were a huge success and will continue into future seasons.
Ladies-Only, 125 & Newbie Ride Outs
Inclusivity remains at the heart of Veloce Club. This year we proudly hosted:
- Ladies-only ride outs
- 125-friendly ride outs
- Newbie ride outs
Helping new riders grow, connect, and feel welcome in the moto world was one of our biggest priorities — and favourite achievements — of 2025.
Yamaha Demo Day
Our Yamaha demo day brought test rides, crowds, and smiles all round. A huge thank you to everyone who joined us to try out the latest bikes and experience Yamaha’s 2025 lineup firsthand.
New brands added in 2025!
This year we massively expanded our retail offering, securing an incredible lineup of new brands, including:
Merlin, Oxford, Beeline, HJC, Macleod, Muc-Off, MotoGirl, Pikes Brothers, Silk Road, and more.
Our goal is simple: quality gear we trust, for riders we care about.
Celebrating test passes
One of our favourite things this year?
Cheering on riders who completed their CBT or passed their full motorcycle licence.
We love seeing fresh faces join the community and experienced riders step up to the next level.
Pistons & Paws: Dogs of Veloce Club
2025 brought record numbers of dogs into the clubhouse — and we couldn’t be happier about it.
From pups in backpacks to adventure dogs on tour, Pistons & Paws is now officially part of our culture.
Food & drink upgrades
We expanded our food and drink offering with local favourites:
- Fresh coffee from Campervan Coffee
-
Pizza, sausage rolls, and sweet treats from the amazing Flour21 Bakery
Your pre-ride and post-ride snacks have never been better.
Veloce Club clothing went next level
This year we grew our apparel range with:
Thanks for representing Veloce Club wherever your adventures take you.
Our personal highlights
James joined full-time
A major milestone — James officially joined Veloce Club full time this year. His energy, dedication, and passion for the community have made a massive difference.
Guido got Married!
Huge congratulations to Guido and the lovely Maisie on their wedding this year. A beautiful highlight.
A bittersweet goodbye
We also saw Guido move to Brighton — and he will be deeply missed around the clubhouse. But don’t worry… he’ll be back as a special guest in 2026.
Feeling the love
Thanks to Lucy who worked with us over the summer (we're hoping Lucy will comeback!) and all the other volunteers who have helped with events or when we've been super busy, you've all been amazing: Matt, Mike, Paul, Tarran, Steph, Steve, Ian, Bec, Beth, Pierre, Jessie, Rich, Iñigo, Andy, James, James,
And yes… we painted the floor
Because a fresh year deserves a fresh clubhouse.
We did a big tidy-up and a paint refresh to make sure everything looks sharp for 2026.
What’s coming in 2026?
We’re already gearing up for another huge year, including:
- Wheels & Waffles: A Ghent Tour RELOADED >>
- Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride – bigger than ever
- Harley-Davidson Experience (a two-day event!)
- Summer Party
- Ladies-only ride outs
- Monthly ride outs
- And loads more…
2026 is going to be full throttle — and we can’t wait to share it with you.
Thank You for an incredible 2025
Veloce Club wouldn’t be what it is without every rider, customer, dog, volunteer, and friend who walks through our door.
Here’s to a huge 2025 behind us — and an even bigger 2026 ahead.
