Revving up for another impressive Motorcycle Show

A couple of the many bikes which will be on show during the annual Nelson Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Club’s show on 4 and 5 January.

On Saturday, 4 January and Sunday, 5 January Stoke’s Memorial Hall will once again display the qualifying motorcycles of the Nelson Classic and Vintage Motorcycle Club (NCVMCC) members.

The ever-popular two-day show gives collectors and enthusiasts an opportunity to showcase their bikes. Some have been lovingly restored while others are untouched and in their original condition.

A bike lover’s dream, the club says visitors to the show will see “all makes and models, big and small, 2 strokes, singles, v twins, twins and more”.

With a membership covering a wide area of Nelson Bays, Club rules for the Show restrict the machines to over 25 years-old, from all continents and all the famous manufacturers.

“Come in and view some of the legendary machines from the British makers such as Norton, Triumph, BSA, AJS & Matchless, Velocette and others.

From Europe there will be Ducati, BMW, and Motoguzzi, to name but a few. From America the Indians and Harley-Davidson’s of yesteryear.

And from Japan a new breed of modern classics, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Suzuki.”

Wander around and see how technology changed the motorcycle.

Take a seat and watch road racing from the Isle of Man TT, and other circuits from around the world.

This event is becoming a regular feature of the Nelson holiday calendar, with many people fitting it into their annual holiday.

On Sunday, 5 January from 9amnoon there will be a swap-meet at the site. Anyone who wishes to sell motorcycle or related material from bikes, clothing, books, parts, etc - the swap sites are free. (No household goods please.) All are welcome.

“Come on in and enjoy some of Nelson Bay’s motorcycling history.”
