Victoria Baldwin
Haircare and Styles for Bikers (Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd)
Join former hairdresser turned entrepreneur Victoria as she discusses all things hair related- how to look after your helmet hair and the best styles to wear as a biker.
Victoria founded Silky Days after experiencing first-hand the damage helmets can cause to hair. What started as a personal solution has grown into a global brand designed to support women who ride.
More than just protecting hair, Silky Days is about making space for women in environments where they’ve often been overlooked. Its 100% silk helmet inserts reduce friction, helping to prevent breakage, frizz, and long-term damage without compromising comfort or fit.
Now worn by women around the world, Silky Days is growing into a community that celebrates confidence, femininity, and freedom on the road.
Ellie Garner
Beginner Motorcycle Maintenance (Saturday 22nd)
Motorcycle Maintenance Including a Service (Sunday 23rd)
Diving Deeper into Electrics (Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd)
Ellie Garner will once again be hosting beginner and intermediate motorcycle maintenance workshops at the event, along with a session each day on bike electrics. After gaining her full bike license in 2016 and managing the brave feat of a 3000+ mile tour around Europe solo, Ellie got a part time job in a garage in Bristol in the hopes of learning a new trade. In 2017 she took her level 2 and 3 Motorcycle Maintenance and Repair qualifications and found a job in a motorcycle dealership in Sutton Coldfield. In 2019 she worked one weekend a month for Wigley racing touring with British Super Bikes to Donnington, Assen, Knockhill, Snetterton, Silverstone and Oulton Park before moving to Ducati Worcester.
“As a woman into motorcycling and being a part of the motorcycle world, I am proud to say that it was my mum that sparked my interest in motorbikes, I was only young so a Yamaha YZ125 looked very mean to me! As I grew up I was always interested but my love and passion for biking didn’t ignite until I was 23; I was travelling in Sri Lanka and the only real sensible mode of transport was two wheels, as I moved onto New Zealand I found myself working on farms and using quads and dirt bikes, extremely fun times had!
Once my travels were over, I found myself at a bit of a loss as to where to go with my life. I tried a variety of jobs in pubs and construction, all valuable lessons learned along the way but the spark wasn’t there… until I went for my full bike licence at the age of 26 and realised that I had found my joy in life so I took my new “big bike” my 1998 FZS600 Fazer who I’ve named Freddy on a tour around Europe all because I wanted to ride and gain confidence in this new found love. From the ride I then wanted to be able to fix and maintain Freddy, so on I went to become a mechanic…”
Workshops – Beginners – In this workshop she will be going through the very basic maintenance techniques you can use to make sure you feel safe on your ride knowing you have performed the basic but essential checks.
Intermediate – In this workshop she will show you how to run through a service.
Electrics – running through electrics and the electrical components of bikes, delving deeply into batteries, electrics, changing bulbs and using a multimeter.

Lianne Hatcher (Here We Ride)
Reflective Customisation Workshop (Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd)
Want to make your riding kit a little more you?
Join us at Women in Moto for a hands on Reflective Customisation Workshop with Here We Ride, where you’ll learn how to use reflective materials to create your own unique designs on clothing, bags and fabric patches.
Bring along an item of your own to customise. A waterproof jacket, riding vest or other layer to wear over your bike gear is perfect. Create something personal that looks great by day and catches the light when you’re out riding at night.
Don’t have something to bring? No problem. Bags and fabric patches will be available at the workshop for you to customise and take home.
Whether you’re into bold graphics, subtle details, your own logo, a favourite phrase or just want to experiment with reflective materials, come along and make your gear uniquely yours.
MotoWaifu
How to Create Content for Social Media (Sunday 23rd)
“I’ve been creating motorcycle travel content for the past 10 years and recently made the leap to becoming a full-time creator. Before that, I spent two years working as a full-time video editor for @woodyandkleiny, a channel with over 50 million subscribers. In this workshop, I’ll take you behind the scenes of content creation – from filming and editing to creating content that actually grabs attention and posting it effectively across social media. I’ll also share the insider tips, lessons and techniques I’ve picked up from both sides of the industry, giving you the tools to start creating better content yourself.”
Laura, better known online as Motowaifu, is a motorcycle travel content creator who has spent the past 10 years documenting her adventures on two wheels, racking up over 100,000 miles across Europe. Her content combines motorcycle travel, adventure, humour and her love of anime and gaming, and has built a community of over 250,000 followers across social media.
Laura started her channel to inspire people to travel further on the motorcycles they already have, firmly believing that the best bike for travelling is the one you already own. Her solo adventures have taken her across the Balkans, Baltics, Pyrenees, Alps and Dolomites, through Türkiye, and most recently all the way to Nordkapp in the Arctic Circle.
After two years working professionally as a video editor for @woodyandkleiny, a channel with over 50 million subscribers, Laura was made redundant. Rather than returning to another full-time editing role, she decided to take the leap and become a full-time content creator – leading to her most recent adventure, a 6,000-mile journey to the Arctic Circle in Norway.
Laura now shares her adventures across YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, from long-distance journeys and crazy border crossings to the realities and occasional chaos of life on a motorcycle.
Sit Down Sessions
Less hands-on than a workshop, but no less informative! More coming soon!
Danielle Williams
Before You Post That Reel… Online Safety For Contact Creators (Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd)
“Whilst building WanderMoto we were bombarded with adverts for how to get a million views but none on how to do it safely, and this was the inspiration for the Safe Online Academy, using my professional knowledge from years of working in online trust and safety to help content creators share whilst protecting their privacy and safety.
This sit-down session will focus on the Online Safety for Content Creators course that I have created. This will be a practical, confidence‑building session for online content creators who want to stay safe while growing their online presence and engaging with their audience. I will share some essential steps to protect your identity, location, content, and wellbeing, drawn from my professional background in online trust and safety.”
Linda Belvedere
Understanding and Choosing Biker Clothing (Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd)
When Linda Belvedere decided to create her first women’s motorcycle jacket under the Linda-Jean brand, she immediately realised just how confusing and overwhelming the world of motorcycle clothing safety certifications could be. So she set to work and learnt everything from scratch.
Now she wants to share what she has learnt with you. In this hands-on workshop, Linda will guide you through how to choose motorcycle clothing, help you understand CE and UKCA ratings, and explain what to look for when trying on clothing, so you can shop with confidence and make sense of the confusing information found online.

Penny While
Helmet Choice, Helmet Care and SHARP Explained (Saturday 22nd and Sunday 23rd)
SHARP, the Safety Helmet Assessment and Rating Programme, is a UK government funded consumer information scheme to help motorcyclists make an informed choice when buying a helmet. SHARP provides advice on how to select a helmet that fits correctly and is comfortable, and information about the relative safety of helmets that have been tested to demonstrate how much more protection they provide than the minimum required by legal standards.
Penny is the Publicity Lead for the SHARP helmet safety scheme. She works for TRL Ltd (formerly the Transport Research Laboratory) who are contracted by the Dept for Transport to test motorcycle helmets to reveal their relative safety performance. TRL also help the DfT to promote the results, so that consumers can make an informed choice when buying a new helmet.
“I don’t have a licence, but love to ride pillion with my partner on his BSA Gold Star which always turns head at bike meets. We also have a Honda Deauville for doing the shopping as it has massive panniers.
I never tire of hearing about a rider’s crash as it means they are alive to tell me about it. My goal is to convert everyone I speak to into an ambassador for the scheme because it literally saves lives”.
TRL have been testing motorcycle helmets since the 1940s and advising governments and international regulators on their safety specifications. TRL also helps the DfT to find, confirm, and remove fake helmets from sale in the UK. Helmets are an essential piece of safety equipment, but choosing one is a nightmare. SHARP can simplify that process and provide reassurance that you’ve made the best choice.
In the session, Penny will explain how the scheme works, how to use it when buying a helmet, how to look after your helmet (and why) and will tackle a range of frequently asked questions about helmets. “She isn’t an engineer, or a scientist or a government official, so don’t expect any technical stuff!”

Claire Jones
Why Riders Worry So Much About Dropping Their Bike… And What To Do About It (Saturday 22nd)
One of the biggest fears many riders have isn’t crashing at speed – it’s dropping their bike. Especially in front of other people.
Whether it’s parking, slow-speed manoeuvres, uneven ground or simply worrying about what other people might think, fear of dropping a motorcycle can affect safety, confidence and enjoyment. It can even stop people riding altogether.
In this interactive 30-minute discussion, award-winning mindset coach and best-selling author of Remember You’re a Rider, Claire Jones, gives a taster of the Bike Drop Confidence Roadshow that she is taking around the country in partnership with motorcycle training schools. Claire explores why this fear is so common, even after training and plenty of practice. You’ll discover what’s happening inside the brain and nervous system, why logical reassurance isn’t always enough, and learn mindset techniques that can help reduce fear and build lasting confidence.
The session is designed to complement, not replace, rider training. Claire explains how mindset and riding skills can work together, helping riders recognise when additional skills practice, such as slow control, machine handling or lifting techniques, may be the right next step alongside developing the confidence to put those skills into practice.
The discussion also touches on why confidence can fluctuate through life events, stress, menopause, ADHD, returning to riding after a break, or following a previous drop or near miss.
Drawing on her own experiences, hundreds of coaching conversations and the success of the Bike Drop Confidence Roadshow, sponsored by R&G Crash Protection, Claire shares practical strategies to help riders make better decisions, build confidence and enjoy riding with less fear.
Suitable for riders of all abilities, from complete beginners to experienced riders who still find themselves avoiding certain situations.
Please note: Unlike the Bike Drop Confidence Roadshow, this is a classroom-based discussion and does not include practical exercises or motorcycle lifting demonstrations.
Find out more about the roadshow here. Session participants will be eligible for a special discount code to use on a workshop booking (conditions apply) www.youronelife.co.uk/bike-drop-confidence-roadshow/
