Sun and Steel: Celebrating Ducati’s Centenary, Custom Triumph Masterpieces and Harley-Davidson Racing at the 2026 Bike Shed Show

Ducati North London: 100 Years of Passion & Two Global Unveils

This year marks a monumental milestone: Ducati’s 100th Anniversary. To honour a century of Italian performance and style, Ducati North London & Ducati UK pulled out all the stops, standing shoulder-to-shoulder with the factory giants and debuting two breathtaking, exclusive builds.

Fabrizio Cazzoli (Managing Director Ducati UK) and Ryan Gregory (Marketing Manager Ducati UK) pulled the covers off two custom-built masterpieces crafted by the legendary Charlie Stockwell of LIND x Stockwell Design:


▪ The Scrambler One C: A beautiful, modern reinterpretation of pure freedom and expression.

▪ The Monster One C: A fierce, aggressive take on Ducati's iconic naked bike, blending heritage with cutting-edge custom styling.

Live Art in Motion

The entertainment at our stand went far beyond static displays. Throughout the weekend, Charlie Stockwell teamed up with the incredibly talented Tom Fuller of Image Design Custom for a massive live paint show. Crowds gathered to watch the duo bring a stunning, 3-meter x 2-meter rendition of the Ducati 100th Anniversary logo to life in real-time. A masterclass in live craftsmanship that perfectly captured the spirit of the weekend.

But this wasn't just a spectator sport; it was a truly collaborative canvas. Interaction was encouraged all weekend long, with fans, customers, and attendees invited to step up and add their own marks to the incredible work of art. It transformed a celebration of Ducati's history into a living, breathing community masterpiece, layered with the passion of everyone who stopped by.

Over at Triumph: The Stockwell Quartet & Heritage Style

Our presence didn't stop at the Italian paddock. Over at the official Triumph Motorcycles exhibition, we showcased a formidable lineup of four more custom Triumphs, all masterfully built by Stockwell Design.

The stand featured a mix of celebrated icons and highly anticipated secrets:
 

▪ The Triumph Originals: We brought back two crowd favourites from last year with the stunning Bonneville Sunraiser and the rugged Torrence Trail Scrambler (catch a glimpse of this one quickly, as it heads back across the Atlantic to its permanent home in Los Angeles next week!).

▪ The Baja Dark Scrambler 1200: A menacing, adventure-ready machine that commanded attention all weekend.

▪ The "Hell Bitch" Scrambler 900: One of Stockwell’s most recent and radical creations. We kept the mystery alive at the show, so keep your eyes open and ears to the ground. More will be officially revealed about this untamed build in the coming days!


Holding down the fort at the Triumph exhibition, Marcin, Idir, and Ram from our Triumph London, West, and North London teams were on hand all weekend, keeping the crowds styled to perfection with an abundance of exclusive Triumph Heritage Merchandise and there to answer all your Triumph-related enquiries.

Harley-Davidson: A Masterclass in Racing Heritage

Adding to the heavy-hitting presence of the industry's biggest names, Harley-Davidson put on an unforgettable showcase that tracked the evolution of American track dominance. Their exhibition was a magnet for racing purists and modern performance fans alike, tracing a lineage from vintage tarmac legends to today's heavy-hitting track weapons.

The H-D stand featured an incredible timeline of speed:


▪ The 1970s XR750TT: A pristine, fully restored legendary road racer. Seeing this pushrod V-twin icon in the flesh, the fairing-wrapped sibling to America's most dominant dirt-tracker, was a masterclass in nostalgic engineering.

▪ The VR1000: The legendary, rare 1990s Superbike contender. With its liquid-cooled, 60-degree engine and distinctive split-colour livery, it stood as a holy grail moment for sportbike historians in attendance.

▪ The Factory Racing Bagger: For many attendees, the absolute highlight was finally getting up close and personal with a modern H-D Factory Racing Bagger. Seeing the sheer engineering scale of a race-prepped, 200-horsepower touring machine built to drag knee on a road course left the crowd stunned. Stay tuned in upcoming MotoGP rounds to watch the Bagger World Cup in store at both Guildford and Newmarket Harley-Davidson.

Capturing Every Single Moment

An event this legendary deserves to be preserved. The incredibly talented Dani Sezudo was on the ground with her camera throughout the entire three-day scorching weekend, capturing every roar of the engines, the smoke of the stunt shows, the brushstrokes of the live paint display, and the smiles at our booths.

"To celebrate 100 years of Ducati with two world-class custom reveals, paint a massive live mural, and showcase four incredible custom Triumphs all in one weekend... it’s a testament to the absolute powerhouse of talent in our clubs. Thank you to everyone who stopped by to share the passion with us."
