The UK Bikers Charity event at the Museum in aid of DOCBIKE.
The UK Bikers is a motorcycling group and was created by David Pilbro, who was sadly killed in an accident last October. The event has been arranged in his memory on what would have been his 18th Birthday.
Eradicating motorcycle deaths ~ DocBike is a well researched, exciting and innovative motorcycle safety partnership. Initially it was a local collaboration between PC Chris Smith (Dorset Police BikeSafe) and Dr Ian Mew (Intensive Care and Air Ambulance Doctor). The project has since evolved a compelling national strategy and is now partnered with The Trauma Audit and Research Network (TARN), with a remit to expand national understanding of motorcycle accident prevalence and the effectiveness of PPE.
DocBike is invested in the mission of eradicating motorcycle deaths through engagement, injury prevention, education and roadside critical care.
Entry for the event is £5 and includes wristband and a raffle ticket. Purchase before the event via the links on Facebook / Twitter (preferable) or pay on the day. Proceeds go to the Docbike Charity.
Stands. Emergency Vehicles. Raffle. Refreshments – for those wearing a wristband Bap & Coffee for £5 from the Catering Shed in the Courtyard. Diiscounted entrance into the Museum for those with wristbands,

On Saturday 3rd June 1978 Mike Hailwood made history when he returned to racing on the Isle of Man after an 11 year hiatus. His win aboard a Ducati 900F1 was the stuff of legend – Mike actually overtook the bookies' favourite Phil Read on the road!
To celebrate the 40th anniversary of Mike's win, Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum is bringing together some very special motorcycles to join the Museum's own magnificent collection!
Especially pleasing to see will be a reimagining of Mike's TT winning Ducati built by renowned Ducati restorers Back to Classics.
Special guest is Pat Slinn.
So join us here at the Museum from 10.30 to 4pm on Sunday 10th June 2018 to celebrate a piece of motorcycling history and the man many regard as the greatest motorcycle racer of all time!
