September Romney Marsh Ride-In Show
One of the best-established events in the classic calendar, Romney offers visitors the chance to scoop cash prizes - and the accolades of other enthusiasts - in the Ride-In show.
Spot-cash prizes of £25 will once again be up for grabs for the Best Classic (pre-1980) and Best Post-Classic machine. There's no extra charge - just ride in, pay the regular entry fee and park in the designated area.
The show always attracts a fascinating mix of motorcycles, as the winners from the Summer Ride-In Show in June demonstrate;
- Best Classic Bike went to Peter Denyer's 1953 BSA C11, which he's owned for the past 45 years.
- Les Cook won Best Post Classic with his Honda CB100N.
- Best Club Stand: VJMC (Kent & Surrey)
For those with ongoing projects, there will be the usual array of traders and jumble stalls offering parts, tools and expert advice aplenty. Plus refreshments from local vendors selected for their quality and value.
There are also many opportunities for classic bike enthusiasts and specialists to sell items.
Anyone wanting - or needing! - to declutter can book a Workshop Clear-Out stall at the bargain rate of just £15, which includes entry for two people
The Free BikeMart display-to-sell area allows visitors to buy and sell complete machines. Bikes can be dropped off or ridden into the event at no extra cost, with only an entry ticket required.
Pitches are also available for businesses selling new motorcycle parts, clothing and accessories too, providing an opportunity to engage with active classic motorcyclists.
The Romney Marsh Classic Bike Show and Bike Jumble takes place at Marsh Road, Hamstreet, Kent TN26 2JD, with easy access from the M20 motorway at Ashford.
