John McGuinness and Dean Harrison headline Classic Motorcycle Show guest list
Isle of Man TT winners John McGuinness and Dean Harrison will appear as star guests at a major event this April.
23-time Isle of Man TT winner John McGuinness has been confirmed as a star guest for this month’s International Classic Motorcycle Show, alongside current Honda Racing UK team-mate Dean Harrison.
Established in 1981, the International Classic Motorcycle Show is considered the UK’s biggest collection of classic motorcycles, and is sponsored by Carole Nash.
McGuinness, who has seven Senior TT wins to his name and a total of 47 podiums at the famous mountain course, will be on hand to share stories from his career, as well as meeting fans across both days.
Harrison will also be sharing his racing experiences on the Live Stage over the course of the weekend. Harrison is regarded as one of the fastest road racers of his generation, and his results at the TT prove that. The Honda rider is a five-time winner, including once in the Senior TT class.
This year’s event will also feature an auction from Bonhams as part of The Spring Stafford Sale, which will include various classic motorcycles. Two Suzukis raced by Barry Sheene, and a 1965 MV Agusta that was previously owned by John Surtees, will be going under the hammer.
The International Classic Motorcycle Show, which takes place on April 25-26, will also feature The Classic Racer GP Paddock. This is where the event’s famous 'Live Start-up Area' will be, which will host iconic machines that are fired up in front of the public.
Club and private displays will also be featured as hundreds of motorcycles with private entries will compete for awards including the Best in Show. British manufacturers such as Norton, BSA, Triumph and Ariel will be present alongside international bikes from Harley-Davidson, Laverda, Suzuki and Indian.
Buying tickets in advance of the event will save visitors 20 per cent off, while also allowing them entry at 9am, instead of 9:30am for those that buy tickets on the day. Tickets can be bought on the official Classic Bike Shows website.
