EM Test Ride at Geddington with Inch Perfect Trials | Bike Tour

Tucked into the rural edges of Geddington, just outside Kettering in England, Inch Perfect Trials Ltd offers a unique opportunity for motorcycle enthusiasts to test ride a variety of bikes at Geddington Grange on Grange Road. This isn’t a guided experience or a training day; it’s a chance to connect directly with the bike you’ve been eyeing under controlled but open conditions. Riders book individual 45-minute slots, pick their bike from an available selection, and then hit the stretch of road with only their helmet and protective boots between them and the pavement.

Geddington itself is known for its historic village charm and proximity to rolling Northamptonshire countryside, offering a setting that’s both peaceful and practical for a focused test ride. While the course is free of formal instruction, the terrain is well suited for riders who have some experience and want to assess the handling, responsiveness, and comfort of different bikes firsthand.

Inch Perfect Trials Ltd stands out in the local area because of its dedication to rider freedom and quality equipment access without overwhelming novices with training. This makes it an ideal stop for motorcyclists looking to test new rides before committing or for experienced riders craving a no-frills evaluation.

Beyond the test ride experience, the area’s rich heritage — with nearby medieval architecture and quiet country lanes — adds a layer of cultural texture to the day. Geddington is known for the Eleanor Cross, a rare medieval monument about a mile from the test ride location, offering a quick historical detour.

Whether you live locally or are visiting the Kettering region, booking a test ride here means stepping away from showroom floors and into the true feel of your dream bike. Remember to bring essential protective gear and prepare for a straightforward, rewarding connection between rider and machine.
