I'm sorry announce that due to the UK Insurance Industry's refusal to continue insurance cover for motorcycle passenger services, Passenger Bikes is no longer able to accept bookings and has ceased trading.

I'd like to thank all my customers for their custom and support over the last 24 years.

Please follow @passengerbikes on social media as if there are any changes or updates to the situation I will post them there.
