Events at the store

Talks, coffee and good company. After hours, our doors stay open for the Island’s riding community — ride in, park up and stay for the stories.

Kickstand Talks

Next talk: Suzanne Jolly — Solo on Japan’s Longest Dirt Road (by Mistake)

Good stories, great people. Kickstand Talks are our evenings of talks and workshops on travel, adventure, touring and training — in winter on the mezzanine, in summer out on the loading dock. 

The first one is held by the great filmmaker and solo-rider Suzanne Jolly. The film showcases how even an experienced adventure rider can get herself into trouble. One too many mistakes in the Japanese wilderness leads her to question whether she's gotten herself into an adventure she won't be able to sort out on her own. Thankfully, a little bit of cell signal goes a long way in the middle of a night from hell.

This Kickstand Talk will include a film showing plus Q&A with Suzanne. Beer on tap. Laughs likely. Free, but space is limited, so come early!

Reloaded Lab #01: Gear Recognition Challenge

Our first hackathon takes place in the store: teams explore how technology can recognise used motorcycle gear and assess its condition — a first step towards giving good riding gear a second life.

The store stays open as usual, 10 am – 6 pm.

Sunday Fuel

Coffee and a place to meet. Sunday Fuel is a casual riders’ meetup at the store — no organized ride, no schedule. If a few of you decide to head out together afterwards, all the better.

This Sunday Fuel edition is hosted together with the Lower Island Motorcycle Riding Club.
