Photo Gallery: North Weald Classic Bike Show

Description

Held on a hot and sticky summer's Sunday this event promised noise and nostalgia in equal doses. BSAs, Nortons, Triumphs, Moto Guzzis and various rarer machines could be seen and most definitely heard thumping and rasping around the show. There were several stalls selling parts for these beasts but the real attraction was in seeing these vintage beauties being used properly rather than just getting polished and wheeled out for photos.

North Weald aerodrome is a great venue as the bikes get to race up the runway on timed sprints and they even hold a series of mini-races around it. Earplugs in, LB's Andrew, Terry, Karen and Supermofo entered the fray... Apologies for the lack of in depth descriptions and comments. What we know about these machines is, like many of them, skeletal.
