The Ardingly Classic Bike Show & Jumble returns to the South of England Showground on Sunday 25th October 2026 – rounding off Elk Promotions’ calendar of events in traditional style. The last major gathering of the year in the South East, the autumn Ardingly show is the final chance for riders, restorers and collectors to enjoy a proper day out among like-minded enthusiasts before the bikes are tucked away for winter, and to stock up on everything needed to keep busy in the w

NEXX has given its popular Y.100R street helmet a striking new look, with the launch of the Japan-inspired 'Nippon' graphics collection. Four colourways bring together bold script detailing with sharp accent colourways. The range opens with a Matt Black featuring white Japanese script and red highlights, and its inverse, Nippon White, with black script and matching red highlights. An Indigo Blue option brings a deeper, moodier base, offset with orange and grey detailing, whil

On 24th September 1972 ex-Triumph development engineer Norman Hyde wheeled his nitro-methanol burning 830cc Trident-powered outfit 'Roadrunner III' onto the runway at the RAF base of Fairford in Gloucestershire to set a new world speed record. Norman has recently been diagnosed with dementia, and in his own inimitable way has turned his personal challenge into a powerful call to action, inviting all motorcyclists to unite in raising vital funds for Dementia UK. Dementia is a

Venhill has introduced a new range of Exhaust Valve Cables for the Honda CR125R and CR250R; a niche but significant addition that will be welcome news for owners of the much-loved two-stroke motocrossers. OEM cables for the CR125R have been discontinued by Honda for some time, and the NOS options that once filled the gap have now all but disappeared. For the CR250R, factory parts remain available for now, but with supply dwindling, the window is closing. Venhill's cables offe

The FlowRider is the newest addition to the Duchinni Youth range – the first motorcycle clothing brand exclusively for younger riders on the road – and it’s designed to keep the next generation of bikers cool, comfortable and protected on hot summer rides. Large mesh panels at the front, rear and arms let air flow freely through the jacket, while a mesh lining keeps things comfortable next to the skin and avoids arriving at the destination hot and bothered. Like all Duchinni

LS2’s popular 180-degree flip Advant X gets four fresh graphic options for 2026. Styled to complement the latest generation of street bikes, the new ‘Nova’ line contains three matt options – Matt Black/Red, Matt Black/Green/Hi-Vis Yellow and Matt Black/Blue/Red – plus an eye-catching gloss scheme in White/Blue/Red. With UK summers getting ever hotter, the dual-homologated Advant X is increasingly popular. Fully certified P/J for use in both the open and closed position, it tr

Join Fowlers Motorcycles at their Bristol showrooms to celebrate their centenary on Saturday 5th September and you could be in with a chance to win a brand-new Suzuki GSX-8S. Founded in 1926, Fowlers has grown into one of the UK’s largest motorcycle dealers and parts suppliers, and is still run by the family whose name appears above the door. To mark their 100th birthday, Fowlers are hosting a free all-day party at their showrooms in the centre of Bristol: starting at 9am, op

If you've never shown your bike before, Elk Promotions' Romney Marsh Ride-In Show and Bike Jumble on Sunday 20th September 2026 is the ideal place to give it a go. There's no booking in advance, registering or filling in forms, just ride in, pay the regular entry fee and park in the designated Ride-In Show area. That's it: you're in the running for a £25 spot-cash prize as Best Classic or Best Post-Classic machine. The Post-Classic category opens the door to a huge range of b

Motorcycles are full of moving parts that need regular attention: levers, cables, brake and clutch pivots, side stand hinges; every one of them benefits from a quality lubricant. The trouble is that many of the sprays available are messy and leave residues that attract dirt and accelerate the very wear they’re meant to prevent. XCP® Lubricate & Protect uses a powerful blend of mineral and bio-based ingredients to deliver maximum performance across high pressure and motion app

A great ride rarely ends when the engine stops. Whether it’s a fuel stop, a hike to a viewpoint or an evening exploring town, riders need boots that work as well on foot as they do on the pegs – and that’s exactly what LS2 has made with the Torrent. Comfort is key to enjoying any journey, so an ergonomic, sweat-absorbing insole keeps feet fresh on long days, while the premium 3D mesh outer shell provides ventilation to stop overheating. Designed to deal with the multiple cond

Peter Hickman has trusted Weise leathers for 12 years, wearing them for every one of his 14 Isle of Man TT victories. The Tornado 2.0 one-piece suit brings that race-proven pedigree to sports-focussed road riders and track day enthusiasts. Made from 1.0mm-1.2mm cow hide, the Tornado 2.0 is certified to EN17092 AAA – the highest rating available, and one that not all race suits achieve. The leather’s natural abrasion resistance is backed by RE ZRO® removable armour at the back

Watsonian Sidecars have developed a fitting Kit for the Livewire S2 Del Mar (2024-'25) - their first for a production electric motorcycle. "Designing a fitting kit for an electric bike like the Livewire is particuclarly challenging" explains Watsonian General Manager Ben Hall. "It doesn't have a conventional frame, and a cast alloy battery box sits where the engine would be found, so there are no suitable mounting points to attach a sidecar. Our engineering department had to

Weise™ Hive summer gloves are made for the new realities of British summer riding. With UK temperatures regularly pushing into the high twenties and beyond, proper ventilation has moved from a luxury to a necessity. The starting point for the Hive is their 3D mesh construction. Unlike conventional mesh fabrics, which simply reduce material weight, 3D mesh creates a structural cellular-type layer that actively drives air through the glove. The open cells form channels that fun

Modern motorcycles can come fitted with any one of half a dozen battery types: conventional lead-acid (STD), AGM, GEL, or one of the new generation 12.8V-13.2V LiFePO4 lithium units increasingly fitted as standard. Each variant has different charging and maintenance requirements. For a single-bike owner that's just about manageable; for a household with two or three bikes, or a rider who likes to change machines regularly, knowing which battery is fitted and which charger t

SW-Motech has released a complete DUSC hard luggage adventure set tailored to the Ducati DesertX and DesertX Rally. Light, robust and fully waterproof, the new set bolts straight onto Ducati’s adventure flagship and delivers a generous 115 litres of secure storage, making it the perfect partner for serious adventure riding. The set is built around three of SW-Motech’s DUSC hard cases: a 41-litre left-hand case, a 33-litre case on the right (sized to clear the Desert X’s exhau

LS2’s popular Explorer dual sport helmet is now available in Forged Carbon: an innovative shell construction that delivers high levels of strength without compromising on weight. Originally developed by Lamborghini and Callaway Golf Company, forged carbon is made by mixing chopped fibres of carbon with resin and then pressing them into shape. The multi-directional fibres deliver up to five times the strength of traditional woven carbon and increase impact resistance, all with

BMW’s R 1300 RS sport-tourer is capable of covering some serious miles, with one caveat: the lower engine casings and exhaust downpipes are fully exposed to debris, gravel and spray thrown up by the front wheel. Pyramid’s new Belly Pan covers the underside of the boxer twin engine and forms a solid shield between the casings and whatever the front tyre throws up. It also guards the exhaust downpipes from repeated stone strikes and road grime that cause corrosion and damage o

The Elk Promotions' Ardingly Classic Bike Show & Jumble returns to the South of England Showground on Sunday 26th July 2026. This summer's event features a lightweight racing theme and a special tribute to Dresda cafe racers, celebrating the legacy of the late Dave Degens. Spanning two acres, the show features club displays, private entries, and an all-motorcycle autojumble. Open to all eras, machines on display will range from vintage classics to more modern icons.

Whether it’s a throttle, clutch, brake, choke, decompressor or speedometer cable, Venhill can manufacture dire
