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.

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.

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.

Sikh Turbans

Sikhs wear turbans to cover their long hair and as a sign of their respect for God. The Sikh turban is a symbol of Sikh identity and spirituality.

Sikh Teachings

Sikhism teaches the importance of freedom, equality, and justice. Sikhs are taught to treat all people with respect, regardless of their race, religion, gender, or social status. Sikhism also emphasizes the importance of service to humanity. Sikhs are taught to help others in need and to 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.

Sikh Motorcycle Club Celebrates 50 Years of Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Ipswich This past Sunday, the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK embarked on a momentous journey to Ipswich to participate in a historic event – the 50th anniversary celebration of the Guru Nanak Gurdwara. The experience proved to be an overwhelmingly positive one for all members of the club. The day unfolded with a religious procession that drew not only the Sikh community but also curious onlookers from Ipswich itself. The streets were lined with townspeople eager to witness the spectacle, and the spirit of Seva (selfless service) shone brightly as attendees were offered free food along the route. The sight of the Sikh riders, a unique blend of faith and motorcycling passion, certainly left a lasting impression. The event garnered significant media attention, with BBC, Sikh Channel, and various other outlets covering this significant occasion in Ipswich's history and the Sikh community within the UK. Beyond the festivities, a particularly special highlight for the Sikh Motorcycle Club was the opportunity to meet the daughter of Gyani Sundar Singh Sagar Ji, a revered Sikh scholar and social activist who tirelessly campaigned for the recognition and respect of Sikh rights in the UK. His relentless efforts played a pivotal role in the 1976 amendment that exempted turban-wearing Sikhs from helmet requirements. Meeting Gyani Ji's family was an emotional experience, particularly for club founder Kulwant Singh. As his daughter expressed, Gyani Ji would undoubtedly have been immensely proud of the progress made towards turban exemption today. The warmth and connection shared with the family were truly special. The day wasn't complete without a tribute to the fallen. Club members also paid their respects at the World War 2 statue, demonstrating the importance of remembering those who sacrificed for our freedoms. This eventful Sunday in Ipswich will undoubtedly be cherished by the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK. It was a day filled with faith, community, and a powerful connection to a legacy of tireless advocacy.

Thank you for coming you were the icing on the cake

Sikhs Celebrate in Style: Motorcycle Club Makes Grand Entrance for Ipswich Gurdwara's Golden Jubilee

Sunday was a truly historic day for the Guru Nanak Gurdwara in Ipswich. To celebrate their golden jubilee, the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK made a grand entrance, filling the streets with their presence. It was an amazing sight, drawing crowds of non-Sikh spectators who had never seen anything like it before.

Feeling blessed to be a part of this momentous occasion, the Sikh Motorcycle Club members set a high standard for others to follow. A special thanks to BBC's Jenny Kirk for capturing this event on video. Stay tuned for more photos and videos #sikhmotorcycleclubuky#Sikhsb#SikhRidersS#ipswichs#GoldenJubileedenjubilee ...

On Sunday the 19th of May 2024, we are teaming up to ride in The Distinguished Gentleman's Ride with fellow men and women across the globe to raise funds and awareness for prostate cancer and men's mental health on behalf of Movember. Men die on average 6 years earlier than women and for largely preventable reasons. The number of men that are suffering is growing, and we need to do something about that. So, before we press our tweed and polish our boots,
we are asking you to join us in raising funds and awareness for these causes by donating what you can for this meaningful cause and to help the men we love, live happier and healthie#sikhmotorcycleclubuky#sikhrider##leicestersikhse#DGR2024s#gentlemanforacausen#RideformenshealthM#movembermeno#MensHealthMatterslthMatters

Sikh Motorcycle Club UK cruised through sunshine on a Sunday ride!

The open road beckoned and the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK brothers answered the call today. With clear skies overhead, the ride rumbled through Matlock, Ashbourne, and the scenic embrace of the Peak District. The journey wasn't the only highlight - a delicious meal in Matlock Bath refueled riders and fostered camaraderie. New members were welcomed into the fold, and the thrill of conquering mountain curves together forged lasting memories. It was a fantastic day, and the anticipation for the next ride is already buildi#sikhmotorcycleclubukl#sikhmotorcycleclube#SikhRidersi#sundayridey#ukridersi#peakdistrictadventuren#matlockbathk#newmemberswelcomel#MotorcycleCommunityu#nextridealreadyready ...

Sikh Motorcycle Club UK Hosts Fun Day for Punjabi School Children!

Today, the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK welcomed a group of children from the Punjabi School in Northampton, along with their parents and teachers, to the Gurdwara Sahib in Leicester. The kids were thrilled to explore the beautiful Gurdwara and learn more about Sikhism.

The highlight of the day was meeting the friendly members of the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK. The children couldn't resist snapping photos with the impressive bikes and even enjoyed a short ride around the car park! The club members were delighted to receive such positive feedback from the children.

To commemorate their visit, the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK presented each child with a special badge and sticker. Smiles were everywhere as the children proudly displayed their new keepsakes.

A big thank you goes to all the volunteers who made this event possible, as well as the Gurdwara Sahib management team for their warm hospitali#sikhmotorcycleclubukl#SikhRidersi#ukfundayu#punjabischoolchildrenl#gurdwarasahibleicestere#sikhismforkidsr#bikerbuddiesd#positivevibesV#communityspiritp#welcometothegurdwarad#leicestersikhsSikhs ...

Great turnout today at the Leicester Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan 2024 with the Sikh Motorcycle Club UK! ️

Seva came first this time, but the spirit was strong even without their bikes. They paid their respects to Guru Granth Sahib Ji and followed the Palki Sahib Ji with pride.

This follows fantastic showings at Derby and Nottingham Nagar Kirtan the past two Sundays! A great way for the whole family to celebrate their faith.
