Membership

Join the Trust and help support our work

We are delighted to welcome new members who can contribute their experience with vintage, veteran or modern British bikes, either as restorer, rider or collector, and who can add to our knowledge base of our engineering heritage in the field of British motorcycles.

Equally, we welcome all enthusiast members eager either to support the work of the Trust, or to become more directly involved.

We encourage contribution of stories, recollections, information and news in the field of British motorcycles, for the BMCT newsletters and the website and are keen to promote exchange of information between our membership and beyond.

Finally, you can also support the Trust through financial donations, bequests or the donation of rare British bikes and related historical items. Whilst we do appreciate all offers, we are only able to consider motorcycle related items within our remit and area of interest, and which are consistent with the objectives of the Trust.

Membership costs just £20.00 per year and includes membership privilege access to our Associated museums.
