A shortlist of 48 motorcycling icons has been drawn up in consultation with experts from the National Motor Museum Trust Advisory Council and a number of motorcycling focus groups. It includes riders from all eras and genres of motorcycling from early Isle of Man TT winners such as Stanley Woods, to modern world champions Mike Hailwood and Valentino Rossi and celebrity riders Steve McQueen and Charley Boorman.
The museum is inviting people to vote for their top three from the shortlist of riders www.motorcyclingicons.co.uk/contenders/ past and present, and have your say in identifying the most influential motorcyclists of all time.
The poll will be open until midnight on the 22 April, with everyone taking part entered into a draw to win fantastic prizes including a top prize of a three day premium reserved family ticket to this year’s British MotoGP at Silverstone.
The winning top 20 icons will be announced at the Motorcycling Icons Wall unveiling, at the official opening of The Motorcycle Story display on the 14 May.Â
