Classic motorcycle show takes to the NEC

Triumph insurance customers with an interest in vintage bikes may want to make a visit to Birmingham's NEC this November.

The Footman James Classic Motorbike Show is being held for the first time, after the presence of vintage bikes at the Classic Motor Show proved extremely popular.

Show manager Andy Rouse is hoping to bring some famous names from the world of motorcycling to the event, while specialist riders will provide some "thrilling indoor action".

The traders area has also been extended, so visitors can get their hands on classic biking memorabilia.

Mr Rouse says the creation of the event came as the vintage bike section simply outgrew the Classic Motor Show.

"The principle will be the same with amazing displays for the UK's best motorbike clubs, the Pride of Ownership concours competition and the popular Bike Jumble as well as adding some exciting new attractions," he explained.

More than 2,000 classic motorcycle fans made their way to the National Motor Museum at Beaulieu in June for the Motorcycle Muster, which displayed vintage vehicles and memorabilia.
