Stunning customs and MotoGP at Brackley Festival of Motorcycling

From humble beginnings back in 2008, now the Brackley Festival of Motorcycling is one of the Northamptonshire town’s biggest annual events. In fact, bikers nationwide now have August 14 pinned in their calendars!

The event shuts down the town’s main high street for some serious metal-eye-candy, as road racers show their skills on everything from pre-65 classics and MotoGP beauties.

Wall of death, rock bands, food courts, an enormous funfair, custom bikes, trade courts, a vintage motorcycle show… What more do you want?
