Who We Are

Welcome to the Metro Triumph Riders, a group of Detroit-area bike enthusiasts dedicated to the care and feeding of all makes of British motorcycles, old and new. We are a nonprofit Michigan corporation with membership open to anyone interested in motorcycles manufactured in England.

The Metro Triumph Riders support ownership of our beloved British motorcycles through monthly meetings, frequent technical repair and maintenance sessions, club rides, picnics, and our annual show, the Battle of the Brits, held the second Sunday in September. Our information-packed monthly newsletter helps keep members informed of upcoming meetings and events, and includes valuable technical articles and columns of interest to all fans of these distinctive British bikes.
 
Enjoy browsing our site! Check out our photos, meet our club officers, read about our events, and if you’re interested in joining the Metro Triumph Riders then please open the membership section of the web site and submit your membership application. Or just drop by one of our monthly meetings and say hi!

President's Corner

As you are all aware, COVID-19 prevented most people from socializing in the way they are accustomed. Since MTR is a motorcycle social club, it really kept us from functioning at our fullest extent, including the Battle of the Brits. But now we're back at full strength and hope to stay that way.

Join us at Camp Dearborn on Sunday, September 9, 2024 (the second Sunday in September, as usual), for a celebration of great classic motorcycles -- and some newer ones. There will also be swap-meet vendors, food, awards, and the chance to catch up with old friends.

We try to keep in touch with members and friends through our newsletters, the website, and zoom meetings, but none of these is the same as getting together in person.

So, please pass this information along to any motorcycle enthusiasts you know. We'd like to see as many people as possible at the Battle of the Brits, club meetings, and other events.

Treasurer's Topics

Each year we want to at least break even financially on Battle of the Brits and hope to do a little better than that to help support our favorite charities, as well as club activities.    

So, from a financial perspective our most recent BOB at Camp Dearborn was successful. Our experiences give us confidence looking ahead to next year and beyond.

--Steve Lynam

Secretary's Scribbles

The next Battle of the Brits is scheduled for September 9, 2024, at Camp Dearborn in Milford, Michigan.

If you own a British (or European, or pre-1984 American) bike, please consider entering it in the show.

Our 2023 show marked the 40th annual Battle of the Brits, and I think it’s fair to say it was a great success. The weather was terrific, the crowd was happy, and there aren't many events where you can find such a large and diverse selection of spectacular motorcycles.

Thanks to our sponsors, vendors, and the owners who brought out their bikes for us to enjoy. And special thanks to the members of the Metro Triumph Riders who made it all happen.

Let’s dust off some of those motorcycles hidden away in garages and share them with the world in 2024!

--Peter Gareffa
