Welcome to the Northern Ireland RBL Motorcycle Branch
The Royal British Legion is the UK's leading Armed Forces charity and one of its largest membership organisations.
Officially opened in March 2009, we are a Motorcycle Branch in Northern Ireland and uphold not only the commitments of The Royal British Legion charity and the Poppy Appeal but also our enthusiasm for motorcycling.
Our Branch is proud to have members who have served in the Armed Forces as well as civilian members all of whom promote and support the Legion with great zeal. We also encourage youth membership for our younger pillion riders.
We socialise together as well as taking part in formal parades and friendly ride outs.
We have had over 100 members in our ranks since we started, but we are always on the lookout for new ones.
We hold monthly meetings in various RBL Branches around NI but our AGM is always held in RBL Dungannon.
We've been on parade in Dungannon, Newtownards, Portadown, Tandragee, Antrim, Bangor, Banbridge, Coleraine and Belfast, and have visited RBL branches from The Isle of Man to Malta.
Last Year
In 2022 we have represented the RBL and Poppy Appeal at the Armed Forces Day in Banbridge, Soap Box Race event at Tandregee and travelled to Dungarvan for the WW1 Commemoration Wreath Laying.
Later in the year we travelled to the National Arboretum annual Ride to the Wall (RTTW) supported the Dungannon Tractor Run and attended the Armagh Ride for the Wall (RFTW).
We have held meetings at a variety of RBLs around NI including Lisburn, Cookstown, Armagh, Portadown, Donaghloney, Dungannon and Bessbrook.
The Branch also ran the Yearly Photo Rally sending participants around NI with a nautical theme and organised a Raffle with some spectacular prizes, all in support of the Poppy Appeal.
We Ride with Honour and Respect for all our Armed Forces. So why not come and join us.

Membership is open to everyone. If you have an interest in the objectives of the Legion and want to help and support those who have served and their families, come and join us. We welcome men and women of all ages, whether they have served in the Armed Forces or not.
Legion membership ensures that
- Remembrance is kept alive and that the sacrifices our brave Service men and women have made are never forgotten.
- The ex-Service community have a voice and that their concerns are brought to the public eye.
Becoming a member also provides the opportunity to get involved in a wide range of activities and events held locally, regionally and nationally throughout the year.

What we do
Welfare is at the heart of everything we do. We are one of the UK's largest membership organisations; Over 300,000 members show their support for the work we do. We work with all political parties, campaigning to improve the lives of all Service people - past, present and future. We safeguard the memory of those who have given their lives for our freedom through Remembrance education and events. We organise the annual Poppy Appeal; remembering those who have made the ultimate sacrifice and raising money to help those in need today.
We work with politicians to improve the lives of the Armed Forces community and have been campaigning on their behalf since 1921.
