   Posted on 12:00am Wednesday 15th Jun 2011

   On Sunday 19 June, motorcles will descend on the Heritage Motor Centre for the nostalgic Vintage Motor Cycle Club Banbury Run. The event, which starts at 10am, is the 63rd Banbury Run and the largest gathering of pre-1931 Motorcycles & 3 Wheelers in the World!

   The Banbury Run is aimed at those who enjoy the thrill of riding with other Vintage, Veteran & Pioneer bikes. Visitors can see the machines in all their glory as they set off for their annual ride around the nearby countryside. Visitors can also enjoy wandering around Club and Trade Stands as well as the famous autojumble, one of the best sources of Veteran & Vintage motorcycle spares.

   Emma Rawlinson, Event Executive for the Heritage Motor Centre stated “The Banbury Run is a fantastic event and we’re delighted to be hosting it for a fourth year in conjunction with the Vintage Motor Cycle Club. Watching hundreds of vintage motorcycles cruise the roads is a spectacular sight to see!”

   Advance tickets costs £5 or £7 on the day. FREE museum entry is offered to entrants and spectators. Camping is available from Friday 17 - Monday 20 June. Prices for the three nights are £20 in advance for tents or £25 for caravans. Advance tickets or camping can be purchased by phoning the ticket hotline on 01926 645029 Monday – Friday from 9am – 5pm. 

   The VMCC Banbury Run is just one of many exciting and unique motoring events held at the Heritage Motor Centre in 2011. To find out more information please visit the website at www.heritage-motor-centre.co.uk

2. RIGHT HERE, RIGHT NOW, THE FARMYARD PARTY

   Posted on 12:00am Tuesday 14th Jun 2011

   Three days until Europe's biggest and best bike rally has its 25th party! The Marquees are here, the beer is here, the 20 plus bands are here, over 70 trade stands are here, the best Ride In Custom show in here, the wheelie bikes are here, the dyno tester is here, and the best biking roads in Britain are here...

   So where the hell are you going to be this weekend?

   Because if you're not here, you're going to miss the chance to say the most credible line in recent British Biking history "I was at the 25th Farmyard mate, it was mental!"

   Plenty of tickets are available on the gate at £35 All attitudes must be left at the gate, unless it's a nice one! Enjoy, and I will see you Friday.

   If Carlsberg did bike rallies they would want to do this one.
