The Classic Motorcycle Festival returns this July for another incredible two-day celebration of all things retro on two wheels.
A massive on track package of races organised by the CRMC is the highlight, with dozens of contests featuring bikes from the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s.
Up to 40 races will be held, ranging from events for 125cc two strokes right up to the big 1300cc four cylinder four strokes, plus the always-thrilling sidecars. The unique Lansdowne Cup will also feature classes for classic Grand Prix and road based machines including Manx Norton, Rudge, Triumph and Vincent.
There’s plenty to see off track too, with stunning historic bike displays, many of which will take to the track during the parades on each day. Special guests during the weekend include CRMC Patron - Alex George, together with Jamie Whitham.
