Summer has nearly gone, meaning the autumn roster of bike shows will soon be upon us, and Mortons Media has announced some legendary star names for its Classic Bike show to be held over the weekend of the 11-12 October. 500GP champion Wayne Gardner has been confirmed as the show’s guest of honour, and he’ll be joined by multiple British champion and GP rider Roger Marshall.
Gardner famously began his racing journey on a five-dollar dirt bike and quickly rose through the ranks, making his 500cc debut in 1983. The Australian star achieved success with Honda Britain, winning his first GP in 1986, and went on to beat Eddie Lawson and Randy Mamola to claim the 1987 world championship title.
The Staffordshire County Showground event will also host top club stands from across the UK and will be packed with stunning machines spanning the decades – some of which will be started and run in the legendary GP Paddock. There’s a large trade area, autojumble stands, live music, and a fully stocked bar.
Tickets are £16.50, and under-16s go free with an adult. For more information visit classicbikeshows.com.
