In fall of 2025 Ben and I had the privilege of going on a dream vacation to Europe. We landed In Edinburgh, Scotland where we rented a car and drove about an hour south to North Berwick. There we stayed In a glamping pod that overlooked the north sea and the remains of the Tantellon castle. More than breathtaking!

The people of Scotland are amazing and made this part of the trip even better. From there we hopped In the car and drove 4 hours south, spending a few days In Yorkshire. If you have not driven a manual car on the opposite side of the road, we highly reccomend this thrilling adventure just one time In your life (or not). The roads reminded us of the mini series The Long Way Home with Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman. And as we drove a car, feeling backwards in every way, we contemplated could we hack this on a motorcycle? The hedge walls were sketchy enough In an automobile!
One of the best parts of the riding community is seeing people come together to share stories, knowledge, and experiences. That's why we enjoyed that show so much! As more riders head out on longer trips, motorcycle saddlebags for weekend adventures have become a practical upgrade, making it easier to carry tools, extra layers, and other essentials while keeping the focus on the journey rather than the packing.
From Yorkshire we continued our journey down to London to make our way to one of our most anticipated destinations...The Bike Shed Motorcycle Club!
The Bike Shed Is located the the artsy, graffiti-filled neighborhood of Shoreditch. If you're reading this from Wisconsin- think a combo of MKE's fashionable East Side and Brady Street. This Incredible motorcycle destination has been visited by many celebrities Including Tom Hardy (an Investor) and Ewan as well.
The Shed was once upon a time a train tunnel and features a full kitchen cafe, apparel, a barber shop and at one time a tattoo studio. It also houses a venue that can be rented for events and hosts races, sporting events, celebrity visits, movie premieres and more!
Here at Never Ending Cycles, we are still waiting for Tom Hardy to walk In with his checkbook (or anyone really) to Invest In a destination like this in the Southeastern WI area. We believe motorcycle and car enthusiasts want to be able to get some wheel time and have a destination to arrive at where they can grab a beer and bite and kickback.
We have also created our NEC Garage Collective as a way for you to have a membership with the benefit of eating and drinking on us at these events, saving money on service and potentially winter storage.
Until then, we will continue hosting Motor Collective and Bike Nights as a place for you to unwind with us and talk shop...or even better, life!
Save the date for our next Motor Collective Night on July 10!
