RIDBA AGM 2025: A day at Triumph Motorcycles

This year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) took place at the Triumph Motorcycles factory in Hinckley, Leicestershire.

Held at the end of April, RIDBA welcomed almost 60 members for a day of industry updates, networking and an exclusive tour of one of Britain’s most legendary motorcycle manufacturers.

The morning session featured a members’ meeting and the 2025 RIDBA AGM.

In the afternoon, members were treated to a behind-the-scenes factory tour of Triumph Motorcycles. From the design and engineering process to assembly and testing, the tour offered a fascinating insight.
