Good Friday Bike Meet at The Motorist

The Motorist, located near Sherburn-in-Elmet, comes alive every Good Friday for one of the region’s most anticipated motorcycle gatherings. This event serves as the unofficial “season opener” for riders across the North, drawing thousands of bikes of every conceivable style—from vintage British classics to the latest superbikes.

The atmosphere is one of genuine camaraderie, with riders filling the expansive hardstanding to admire the machinery and swap winter maintenance stories. With the Arnage Restaurant and Driver’s Lounge serving up hearty Yorkshire fare and hot coffee, it’s a high-energy community hub that perfectly captures the spirit of British biking culture.
