The mayor and town crier of Llangollen will welcome thousands of bikers to the Welsh town’s international motorcycle festival – LlanBikeFest 15 – on 1/2 August.
Mike Adams, who rides a Harley-Davidson Sportster, and Town Crier Austin ‘Chem’ Cheminais (pictured with LlanBikeFest team members Debbie Rogers and Jimmy Aspinall), will officiate at the opening of the show by seven-times TT winner Mick Grant and Carl ‘Foggy’ Fogarty MBE, the most successful World Superbike (WSB) racer of all time, at 11am on Saturday, 1 August.
Adams said: “LlanBikeFest promises to be an excellent opportunity to attract new visitors to the town – and a great weekend for local people and businesses. We would love to see it develop into an annual festival with even closer links to the community.”
The On The Edge trials stunt display team – led by Jack Challoner and Martin Crosswaite, who between them have won multiple British, European and world trials championships – will be performing on both days and on the Sunday, more than 100 classic trials machines will compete in a stage of the Northern British Bike Pre-65 Trials Championship (NBBC), as part of a championship round hosted by Llangollen and District Motorcycle Club.
