WELCOME to Dorothy's Speed Shop, the home of Adventure in North Devon, where you'll find a range of motorcycle experiences to take part in, as
well as guest speakers, and events that take place further afield on your own machines.
The fleet of bikes is here to ride, so if you don't see a date or experience that ticks all your boxes then please get in touch. Equally, if you're a riding club or group then please contact us for bespoke day or multi-days out.
Look forward to seeing you down here.
