driveout

A driveout is a term primarily used in the United Kingdom to describe a short, often informal, excursion taken by motorcycle enthusiasts. These gatherings typically involve a group of riders meeting at a designated location and then embarking on a planned route for a few hours, often concluding at a pub, cafe, or scenic viewpoint. Driveouts are social events that allow riders to share their passion for motorcycling, test their bikes, and enjoy the camaraderie of like-minded individuals.

The organization of a driveout can vary. Some are spontaneously arranged through social media groups or word-of-mouth, while others are more formally planned by motorcycle clubs or dealerships. Routes are often chosen for their scenic appeal or challenging terrain, catering to different riding preferences. Safety is usually a consideration, with riders encouraged to travel in formation and adhere to traffic laws. While the term "driveout" specifically refers to motorcycles, similar informal group rides can occur with other vehicle types.
