Classic Bike Live wows with TT legends and a good old jumble rummage

Classic Bike Live will be taking place at the Peterborough Arena, October 29-30. Guests of Honour and TT legends John McGuinness and Mick Grant will be in attendance alongside their racing machines that have brought them both so much success at the Isle of Man mountain course. 

McGuiness will be rolling out a unique selection of TT race bikes from his private collection covering every facet of his mountain course career – from his first race in 1996 to present day, including his winning 1999 Vimto Honda TSR50.  

Grant will also be re-living the good old days with a selection of bikes (including the legendary KR750) that helped make him one of the most popular riders on the Superbike, TT and GP circuits.

UK’s top clubs – including VMCC, VJMC, Ducati Owner’s Club, the Royal Enfield Owners Club, the Classic Racing Motorcycle Club – are due to attend with plenty of bikes to drool over.
