Go on, wipe the smile off his face

Every rider’s favourite TV personality, Steve Berry, is going to get the gunge treatment this weekend.

If you’ve seen his smiling mug on your TV just one or two times too many, you’ll want to be there to watch when it happens at Fowlers Bristol HQ on Saturday and Sunday July 14-15.

On top of the joy of seeing Berry belittled, you can also get your lid serviced (if it’s a Shoei or Arai) on Saturday July 14 you can meetVirgin Yamaha riders, James Haydon and Jamie Robinson will be attending, as well as John Crockford and his GSX-R1000 race bike. And on Sunday they are hoping to have Chris Walker there.

There’ll also be a charity auction of celebrity-autographed biking collectibles alongside clothing and accessories.

There are stands from Honda, Suzuki, Avon and Givi, as well as a burger bar, barbecue and a Piaggio scooter test area.

The event is open all weekend. All proceeds go to charity. Follow the M32 into Bristol and look for the Fowlers-branded hot-air balloon. Details: 0117 977 0466
