Our Values
VALUE 1 – MAINTENANCE & RECOVERY
LOOKING AFTER OUR BIKE & OURSELVES KEEP US RUNNING WELL
- Recovery is an ongoing journey, rather than a destination.
- We believe in doing regular checks including maintenance on ourselves and our bikes.
- One day at a time – one step at a time
- Resting is not quitting – we will always welcome you back when you need support.
- Put your own oxygen mask on first, before helping others.
- Sharing your lived experience is valuable to others and actively encouraged.
VALUE 2 – INTEGRITY
DESIGNED BY BIKERS FOR BIKERS
- Our support, events, activities and partnerships are based in or around the UK motorbike community.
- Once a biker, always a biker.
- We don’t ride past another biker on the side of the road. We are here to support.
- We are transparent. We share knowledge & information and are open to new ways of working.
- We answer questions.

VALUE 3 – BEING HUMAN
WE ARE ALL AS INDIVIDUAL AS THE BIKES WE RIDE
