The Sikh Motorcycle Club UK wishes everyone a Happy Bandi Chhorr Divas and a Happy Diwali! May these celebrations bring joy, light, and peace to you and your loved ones. Let's come together to honor freedom, resilience, and the triumph of light over darkness.
For Sikhs, Bandi Chhorr Divas commemorates the day Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, the sixth Sikh Guru, was freed from imprisonment by the Mughal emperor Jahangir, along with 52 Hindu kings he helped liberate. Through wisdom and compassion, Guru Ji secured their release, embodying the spirit of justice and freedom. This day reminds us of the importance of standing up for righteousness and supporting the freedom of others, values celebrated alongside Diwali, the festival of light#sikhmotorcycleclubukl#BANDICHHORRDIVASD#Diwalii#lightoverdarknessk#sikhhistorys#FreedomAndJustices#CommunityCelebrationa#festivaloflightsights

The Sikh Motorcycle Club UK recently attended a Sikhi camp held at RBN in Northampton, where young people gained insight into life in the British Army through talks from Sikh serving soldiers: SSG Simranjit Singh from the Signals Corps, Manpreet Kaur from Intelligence, and Sarbjet Singh from the Air Corps Helicopters. They shared their personal journeys, the opportunities available in the armed forces, and the deep sense of duty that motivated them to join the military.
The day began with Japji Sahib recitation and Ardas, followed by group activities designed for three age brackets, each led by inspirational speakers. Highlights included Arts and Crafts sessions by Ranjeet Kaur and Sukhbinder Kaur, who creatively used layout cards to narrate stories of Sikh Gurus, and a "Magic Maths" workshop by Vinney Sagoo. Ranjit Singh led an interactive Brain Art session, and Amit Singh Kalley conducted a talk on the dangers of social media, joined by Dhami Amarjit from Leicester.
Special thanks to Rajdeep Singh for the invite. Inspired by the club and a great conversation with our founder Kulwant Singh, Rajdeep and Manpreet were motivated to book a CBT to join our club officially. The day was organized seamlessly, with a structured timetable that kept everyone engaged. Heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated sevadars, who arrived early to prepare langar and served delicious snacks throughout the day. The kids especially enjoyed seeing the motorcycles on display, with some even recognizing us from our summer visit to Leicester.

The Sikh Motorcycle Club UK members had an amazing time at The National Motorcycle Museum LIVE, celebrating its 40th Anniversary! Since the museum first opened its doors in 1984, it has been a must-visit for motorcycle enthusiasts, offering an impressive collection of vintage and historic bikes. Our members even had the opportunity to test-ride the new BSA 650cc Goldstar—huge thanks to the BSA events team for making that possible. The atmosphere was brilliant!
The day also featured *Henry Cole & Friends LIVE*, where the energetic Henry Cole was on stage with an all-star lineup, including Allen Millyard and Guy “Skid” Willison. Fans of *The Motorbike Show* on ITV4 and Allen Millyard's YouTube channel got a treat as they showcased the incredible rebuild of the Norton Nemesis V8.
A special thank you to Alan for bringing Dave’s beloved Jotta. It was a pleasure meeting Woody and Lilliana. Overall, it was a fantastic day, and it was well spent!

Sikh Motorcycle Club UK at Ride to the Wall 2024: A Day of Reflection and Respect
Members of the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK were honoured to attend the Ride to the Wall 2024 event at the National Memorial Arboretum. This annual gathering provides an important opportunity to pay our respects to the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice during the great wars and other conflicts, serving this country with immense courage and dedication.
The day was filled with deep reflection and pride as we visited the memorials and joined others in remembering those who laid down their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. As part of our tradition, we brought along our children, continuing the effort to educate the next generation about the sacrifices made by our forefathers, including Sikh soldiers who fought bravely in both World Wars. They need to understand the legacy and honour these contributions, not just as members of the Sikh community, but as proud citizens of this country.
Looking at the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK’s participation in the event over the last few years, we are proud to see that more Sikhs are joining this important occasion, helping to broaden the recognition of the Sikh community’s contributions and fostering a deeper sense of unity. It’s inspiring to see our community growing within this event, coming together to honour the fallen.
Ride to the Wall is more than just a memorial event; it’s also a time for camaraderie and brotherhood among motorcyclists from across the UK. As a motorcycle club, it was a wonderful opportunity for us to connect with our fellow riders, share stories, and reflect on our shared commitment to remembering the fallen. The sense of unity and respect among everyone present was palpable, making it a deeply moving experience.
This event is always a reminder of the sacrifices made to protect the values we hold dear, and we’re proud to be part of it. It was truly a day to honour, reflect, and feel grateful for the sacrifices that have shaped the world we live in today.
We look forward to attending again next year, continuing this tradition of respect and remembrance.

Sikh Motorcycle Club UK Honors Punjab's Royal Heritage.
The Sikh Motorcycle Club UK made a significant pilgrimage to Norfolk to participate in the Festival of Thetford & Punjab 2024. This year's event was a resplendent celebration of Punjabi culture, deeply rooted in the life and legacy of the Duleep Singh family, the last Royal Family of the Punjab who once resided in nearby Elveden.
Demonstrating their profound respect, club members initiated the day with a solemn ride from Leicester to Elveden Church. There, they paid homage to the Maharaja Duleep Singh and his family, whose historical significance continues to resonate. The vibrant festival at Thetford Grammar School provided a stark contrast to the morning's solemnity, offering a kaleidoscope of Punjabi traditions, music, and food.
Seema Anand's engaging introduction served as a captivating prelude to the day's festivities. The Sikh Motorcycle Club UK extends sincere gratitude to Indi Sandhu and his dedicated team for their instrumental role in organizing this remarkable annual event. Their efforts in preserving and promoting Punjabi heritage are commendable.
By participating in this event, the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK not only celebrated their cultural roots but also fostered a deeper connection with the history of the Punjab and its enduring legacy.

Today, the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK joined the celebrations for Sikh Channel's 15th anniversary! It was a fantastic three-day event held at the Ramgariya Gurdwara in Coventry.
The program began with a 3-day Akhand Path Sahib, a continuous recitation of the Guru Granth Sahib. This was followed by a beautiful Samagam, a gathering for prayer and spiritual discourse.
The atmosphere was incredible - a real get-together filled with religious devotion, langar with a delicious spread of food, and even free ice cream, pizza, and chips for everyone! To commemorate this historic event, a celebration cake was cut, and there was even a bouncy castle to keep the kids entertained.
We were lucky with the weather too, making the ride to Coventry even more enjoyable. We'd like to express our sincere gratitude to everyone at Sikh Channel for inviting us and making us feel so welcome. It was a truly special o#sikhmotorcycleclubuky#SikhChanneli#SikhRidersS#Sikhse#15yearss Sikh Channelkh Channel
