Indian Motorcycle UK to Mark 125 Years of Indian Motorcycle at the 2026 Official IMR UK National Rally
This August Bank Holiday weekend, riders from across the UK and Europe are invited to celebrate an iconic milestone as Indian Motorcycle UK marks 125 years of the brand’s founding. Hosted by Indian Motorcycle and Indian Motorcycle Reading, the Official 2026 Indian Motorcycle Riders (IMR) UK National Rally will take place at the legendary Brooklands Museum. Open to all bikers and riders, this three-day celebration from August 28–30 promises a festival of speed, culture, and community, with exclusive VIP perks for Indian Motorcycle owners.
Arriving on the opening Friday, guests can look forward to an unforgettable experience that blends motorsport heritage with American flair. The day kicks off with authentic American-style BBQ, alongside access to thrilling racing simulators and exclusive late openings of the historic Brooklands Motor Sheds. Visitors can also enjoy guided Concorde tours and dedicated VIP parking for Indian Motorcycle Riding Groups (IMRG). As the evening unfolds, a live saxophonist will set the tone from 5 PM, creating a vibrant atmosphere to begin the festivities.
Saturday marks the rally’s main event, delivering a full schedule of high-energy entertainment and exclusive experiences. Attendees will be welcomed with bacon and coffee on arrival, followed by more mouthwatering American BBQ and a complimentary ice cream truck. Highlights include talks from chief designer Ola Stenegärd and special VIP guests, alongside trade stalls, wheelie machines, and live bands performing until 11 PM. Custom bike competitions and shows will take centre stage, with the King of the Baggers race bike on display. Guests will also have the rare opportunity to run their own bikes up the Brooklands Track and capture unforgettable photo moments beneath Concorde.
On the final Sunday, the celebration transitions into Brooklands America Day, extending the excitement with a tribute to all things Americana. Rally ticket holders will enjoy continued access as the venue fills with American cars, memorabilia, and themed entertainment. Fresh trade stalls will offer new discoveries, while stars-and-stripes-inspired entertainment set the scene. From Mustangs and Dodges to Chevrolets and hot rods, the day promises a dazzling showcase of automotive culture, accompanied by dancing, great food, and a spectacular display of chrome to close out the event in style.
“This year’s rally is set to be bigger and better than ever, and the team at Indian Motorcycle Reading have pulled out all the stops to help us organise a sensational weekend. The iconic Brooklands Race Track is a fitting venue to celebrate our heritage and performance as the world’s first purpose-built motor racing circuit. With the bigger venue, we’re also delighted to extend the invite to riders of all brands to come and celebrate with us,” said Gina Evans, Marketing Manager for Indian Motorcycle UK.
For bikers, enthusiasts, and lovers of classic Americana, this is more than an event—it’s a celebration of speed, legacy, and community.
