Sikh Motorcycle Club UK
Building Brotherhood, Promoting Sikhi & Raising Awareness of Turbaned Riders.
The Sikh Motorcycle Club UK is a positive and inclusive organisation that welcomes people of all backgrounds.
- Building Brotherhood: We believe that it is important to build brotherhood among Sikhs. We do this by organising events that bring Sikhs together, such as motorcycle rides, charity events, and social gatherings.
- Promoting Sikhi: We believe that Sikhism is a beautiful and enriching faith, and we want to share it with the world. We do this by educating the public about Sikhism and its values and by organising events that promote Sikhi culture and heritage.
- Raising awareness of Turbaned Riders: We believe that it is important to raise awareness of the challenges that Turbaned Riders face. We do this by speaking out about these challenges, educating the public about Sikhism and Turbaned Riders, and by organising events that showcase the diversity and talents of Turbaned Riders.
We are a proud member of the British Motorcyclists Federation, and we welcome like-minded motorcyclists from all walks of life who enjoy riding and exploring new roads and areas.
Sikhism – The Path of Discipleship
The word Sikh means “disciple” or “learner.” Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded in Northern India in the fifteenth century by Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Sikhs believe in one God, the equality of all people, and the importance of living an honest and ethical life.
Three Basic Principles of Sikhism
- Naam Japna – Meditating on the name of God: Sikhs meditate on the name of God to connect with the divine and to develop their spiritual consciousness.
- Kirat Karo – Earning a living by honest means: Sikhs believe in earning a living through honest and hard work. They are taught to avoid any activities that are harmful to themselves or others.
- Vand Chakna – Sharing the fruits of one’s labour with others: Sikhs believe in sharing their wealth and resources with those in need. They are taught to be generous and compassionate.
Here are some of the club’s activities:
- Rides: We organise regular rides to different parts of the UK, providing a great way for members to explore new places and meet new people.
- Events: We also organise other events, such as charity events and social events, giving members a chance to get involved in the community and meet new people.
- Support: We provide support and advice to our members, including help with finding a new bike, getting insurance, and dealing with any problems that may arise.
- Awareness: We also work to raise awareness of issues that affect the Sikh community, such as discrimination and hate crimes.
If you are a Sikh motorcyclist in the UK or simply interested in learning more about our club, please feel free to reach out to us through our website or social media. We would be happy to connect with you.
Sikh Turbans
Sikhs wear turbans to cover their long, uncut hair, which they maintain as a sign of devotion and respect for God. The turban is not just a practical garment but also a powerful symbol of Sikh identity, spirituality, and equality.
Sikh Teachings
Sikhism upholds freedom, equality, and justice, teaching respect for all, regardless of race, religion, gender, or status. It emphasises selfless service, encouraging Sikhs to help those in need and work for the betterment of society.
Sikhism in the World
There are about 25 million Sikhs in the world, with the largest Sikh communities in India, the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Sikhism is a universal religion that welcomes people of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.

Today the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK took part in the Distinguished Gentleman’s Ride 2026. It was a great day to be part of, helping raise funds and awareness for men’s mental health and prostate cancer.
We had a fantastic ride with riders from across the region, followed by a visit to the Triumph Factory in Hinckley where we met some amazing people and enjoyed the atmosphere and passion for motorcycles.
After the ride, we headed to the newly opened Punjabi Dhaba in Leicester to support another local community venture, enjoy some great food, and spend time together as a club.
We are also proud to share that our club members won the Best Dressed Junior Award 2026 and the Best Moustache Award 2026. A fantastic achievement and great representation of the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK spirit and style.
A warm welcome as well to some of our new members who joined us today. Great to have you all with the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK family.
Overall, a brilliant day full of brotherhood, community spirit, and good memories.

Sikh Motorcycle Club UK had the privilege of attending the Sikh Community Event 2026 at Holly Lodge High School.
It was amazing to see young people confidently speaking about Sikhi, the 3 pillars of the Sikh faith, seva, compassion, and educating others about Sikhism. We enjoyed beautiful shabad kirtan, inspiring talks, delicious langar, and learning about the history of Sikhs immigrating into Smethwick and how the community has grown over the years, supported by Guru Nanak Gurdwara Smethwick.
Our founder, Kulwant Singh, closed the evening with a short speech about the club, its vision, and the importance of the Dastar.
Huge thanks to Miss Raj Khera, Headteacher Imran Iqbal, all the staff, and students for the warm welcome. The students loved the motorcycles, photos, stickers, and badges! A truly lovely evening and we look forward to the next one.

Not a Sikh , but every blessing Rev Paul
Sikh Motorcycle Club UK had the privilege of attending the Sikh Community Event 2026 at Holly Lodge High School. It was truly wonderful to see so many young people participating and confidently speaking about the importance of Sikhi in schools and education, educating others about Sikhism, what the Sikh faith means to them, and explaining the 3 pillars of Sikhi.
We received such a warm welcome from the amazing students and staff at the school. Snacks and refreshments were served, followed by inspiring talks from the students about Seva, Kirat Karni, Vand Chhakna, compassion, and looking after others. A beautiful Shabad was also sung by the students alongside their teacher, Mrs P. Kaur.
We were also honoured to be served delicious langar during the evening, which brought everyone together in the true spirit of equality and seva.
The evening also reflected on the history of Sikhs immigrating into Smethwick, the hardships and racism many early Sikh families faced when arriving in the UK, and how through hard work, unity, and faith, the Sikh community has grown into a strong and prosperous part of the town today. It was inspiring to hear about the important role of Guru Nanak Gurdwara Smethwick within the local community and its continued support for future generations.
We also listened to a very informative short talk by the Sikh Recovery Team, raising awareness about alcohol addiction and how to support and speak to someone who may be struggling.
Our founder, Kulwant Singh, had the honour of closing the event with a thank you speech, giving an insight into the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK, how the club was formed, its vision for the future, and the importance of the Dastar (turban) within Sikhism and Sikh identity.
Huge thanks to Miss Raj Khera, Director of Sixth Form, for inviting us to this lovely event, and also thank you to Headteacher Imran Iqbal for the warm hospitality.
The students absolutely loved the motorcycles, taking lots of photos with the bikes, and we were proud to hand out our Sikh Motorcycle Club UK stickers and badges.
A truly memorable evening full of positivity, education, faith, and community spirit. We are already looking forward to the next one!
