Completing the line-up of Ian’s bikes are a ’56 Featherbed International, ’63 Atlas Scrambler, ’77 MkIII Commando and ’88 Rotary Classic. Stuart Garner, CEO of the revived Norton marque, is joining in the fun at Classic Bike Live, too. He’s bringing the first Norton ever produced – the 1902 Energette – along with a MkII Commando, a current-model Domiracer and one of the brand new V4s. Stuart is also going to be giving a talk on both days of the show.

Outside, the popular start-up area has been expanded to give show-goers the chance to see some iconic metal on the move on the special Legends in Motion strip. Classic Team Suzuki have already pledged to fire up some of their classic raceware and the strip is the place to see, hear and smell some amazing machines in action. Club entries are still coming in thick and fast, the autojumble is filling up and so, too, is the concours – with big cash prizes up for grabs. It’s all looking good for the last big classic show of the year. Don’t miss it.
