Two Special Triumph Auctions At The 2018 Day Of Champions

Bit short notice, but it’s worth mentioning that there are two special Triumph auctions at the 2018 Day of Champions on Thursday, August 23rd. The unique experiences are open for bids as part of the annual event to kick off the British Grand Prix round, and raise money for Two Wheels for Life. The official charity of MotoGP and the FIM, it’s part of the group you might know as Riders, or Riders for Health. Founded by former racer Randy Mamola with Barry and Andrea Coleman, it provides large-scale vehicle support for medical teams across the world.

The auction is part of the attractions at Silverstone for the 2018 Day of Champions, with live music, stunt displays, exclusive British MotoGP paddock and pit lane tickets and more. A limited number of tickets are still available on the day from £20. Sadly it’s a bit late to get tickets for the official ride-in, which includes two laps of the circuit. But you can still enjoy everything from 9am to 8pm, with interviews featuring motorcycling stars. And the charity auction towards the end of the day

Lots of stuff is up for grabs, and among them are the two special Triumph auctions at the 2018 Day Of Champions. One of which is a private all-access tour at the Hinckley factory where the British motorcycles are created. But it’s not just a trip for the winning bidder – nine friends can also join them. And in addition to getting to look around the headquarters, you’ll also get to spend time with the official Triumph design team. So you can try to find out more about what they’ve got planned, and then drop us an email with any exclusive information!

The other auction lot is the chance to join Triumph on a Global Press Launch. It’s your chance to go on an all-expenses paid trip to southern Europe to be one of the first in the world to ride a new Triumph motorcycle. And the only member of the general public with that opportunity. Which would get you pretty big bragging rights. It does have the downside of putting up with members of the motorcycling press, but they’re generally not a bad lot.

So make sure you take your wallet or cheque book along with you to Silverstone for the 2018 Day of Champions. And if you’re going to the British MotoGP round on Sunday, you’ll get the chance to see the new Triumph Moto2 bike in action. Former World Superbike champion James Toseland will be riding the new race machine for the first ever public parade lap.

If you can’t make it to Silverstone, you can support Two Wheels for Life online. You can find out about fundraising, volunteering and donating via their website. And they also have a constant rotation of online auctions with exclusive MotoGP items, and the chance to meet riders and teams. For example, you can currently bid to be a special guest of Team Suzuki Ecstar and meet riders Andrea Iannone and Alex Rins at the Misano round. Or spend some cash to not only meet the MotoGP racers, but also come away with their boots, gloves, or Iannone’s rear seat cowl. So it’s worth taking a look at the Two Wheels for Life auction page regularly.
