Britain's Got Biking Talent competition entries flood in!

Britain’s Got Biking Talent with Carole Nash insurance is underway! Since the competition opened last week we’ve had a vast array of entries covering all makes and models, ranging from lightly modified Bandits to fully restored classics. All of which will be in with a chance of winning the top prize.

There’s still loads of time to enter – you have until August 18 – and don’t forget the first 500 entrants receive a free Oxford Cargo net, plus one lucky entrant will win a full set of Oxford Lifetime luggage.

One of the initial entrants that caught our eye was this 2004 Fireblade (far right)built by Norman Burn. Inspired by a model of Valentino Rossi’s 2001 RC211V summer test bike, Burns set about transforming his Honda with PVM wheels, Gia engineering swingarm, HRC inlet trumpets and quickshifter.

How to enter
1)  Upload your bike pics, spec and optional video to www.britainsgotbikingtalent.co.uk
2)  Expert judges pick the top 10 bikes in each category
3)  MCN readers vote to decide the top 12 bikes (for the Carole Nash
