Story

A memorial at the National Memorial Arboretum has been proposed dedicated to the memory of all those motorcyclists throughout the world who have lost their lives whilst riding in the course of their duties. These may be despatch riders and couriers in the various branches of the armed forces but also civilian riders such as blood deliveries, organ deliveries and other essential services.

It is anticipated that clubs and organisations around the world will identify with this cause and help us raise the money we need to make a worthy tribute to those that have fallen.

Named “Duty to Ride”, it is hoped that all motorcyclists will feel free to participate in these rides when they occur.

The estimated cost of such a memorial is in the region of £100,000 to cover the initial design and construction, as well as to cover the cost of future maintenance. Contributions are therefore requested from across all the armed forces that use motorcycle riders for despatch riders, couriers, escorts and other functions as well as civilian organisations such as the NHS, blood and organ deliveries etc. It is also hoped that contributions will also be forthcoming from across all of the motorcycling fraternities, clubs and organisations that may organise their own fundraising events.
