Triumph Live – The ultimate riding experience

Triumph Motorcycles is staging one of the most impressive riding experiences in the UK this summer at its biennial Triumph Live, on Saturday, July 12. Based at the Heritage Motor Centre, Gaydon, the event will host an array of riding experiences, including Trailquest, Moto Gymkhana, Trials School and a chance to test ride the entire Triumph range.

Expedition and adventure riding specialists, Trailquest, will be running off-road rider training seminars throughout the day. Members of the public will get to experience the buzz of the off-road trail, steeped with corners, ascents and descents. Trailquest is a fantastic way to learn about the art of off-road riding, get tips on ascents and descents, and master speed control, in a range of environments.

Visitors to Triumph Live will also be able to try their hand at Moto Gymkhana, a high-energy, technical motorcycle sport that doesn’t take itself too seriously.  Riders will need to hone their skills as they navigate their way through a course of obstacles, requiring more than just bursts of speed and ruthless braking, but also, accurate control and rider ability.

Situated on the go-kart track, expert instructor Stuart Day, from TrialsDay.com, will be teaching visitors the art of trials riding. The trials obstacle course is the ideal way for riders of all levels to put their talents to the test and further their all-round bike agility, learning to hop, jump, and balance.

Finally, Triumph will be providing the public with the opportunity to test ride any bike from their extensive range.  Riders will be able to choose the Triumph of their choice, be it a classic, cruiser, roadster, supersport, tourer or adventure bike, and take a ride around the beautiful and unique region of the Cotswolds.

Gareth Bright, event manager for Triumph Live, said: “This year’s event will provide the ultimate riding experience whatever the rider’s ability. Whether they’re a seasoned adventure rider, classic bike fanatic or have never even ridden a motorbike before, there is something for everyone. For those wishing to try the best of what motorcycling has to offer, Triumph Live is the perfect opportunity for riders to experience the entire spectrum.”

All of the riding experiences are free of charge and will be running all day long. They operate on a first come first served booking system at the event. There will be a morning booking session when the event opens and then an afternoon booking session later in the day. All bikes will be provided.
