Record breaking meet planned for Hinckley

-

Moto Advisor, a Facebook group for UK motorcycli­sts, is attempting to beat the existing record for the world’s largest female biker meet.

Taking place on July 24, the world record attempt will be held at the Triumph Factory Visitor Experience in Hinckley, Leicesters­hire. Nimi Patel, keen motorcycli­st and co-founder of Moto Advisor, initially founded a group called South East Link Up. As the group quickly grew popular among the online female biking community, Nimi was curious to see how many female bikers could gather on a larger scale.

In 2015, Nimi and fellow motorcycli­st Sherrie Woolf achieved a world record for largest number of all-female riders at a single bike meet. The event took place at the iconic biker’s hang-out, The Ace Café, London, where 618 female riders gathered. In following years, record attempts have been made globally in Australia and the USA, however, the current record remains in the UK with 1132 female riders who met at a Moto Advisor bike meet in 2017. Sherrie Woolf from Moto Advisor said: “There are over 300,000 female motorcycle licence holders in the UK alone. We want to encourage and support more women to enjoy riding and get involved in all aspects of biking.”
