MEET YOU AT THE MUSEUM

In case you miss us at the Stafford Show, the RC Roadshow is also booked to appear at the National Motorcycle Museum’s LIVE event on Saturday 4th November. This will particularly appeal to RC readers, as admission to the NMM is completely FREE (exclamation mark!) for the day. Not that you lot are cheapskates, or anything. No; who wouldn’t want to see the largest collection of British classic bikes in the world for nothing – and enjoy a cram-packed schedule of special attractions? Speaking of which…

NEW MUSEUM LAYOUT. The show halls were recently reconfigured to display a different array of iconic and inspiring machines from the NMM collection. So even if you’ve been before, there’s bound to be something new to see

BITS TO BUY. The weather can do its worst and it doesn’t matter: there’s an indoor autojumble and trade displays snug and warm in the conference centre. That may be where you’ll find the RC Crew, alongside Triumph, Norton and Bonhams auctioneers. Ain’t we keeping high-falutin’ company, eh?

MEET THE EXPERTS. Some of the museum’s specialist suppliers and craftsmen, including the NMM’s own restoration team, will be on hand to chat and answer your technical questions. ‘How big should my hammer be?’ is not a suitable question

STARS ON STAGE. Pundit Steve Parrish will host two sessions (11am and 2pm) chatting live with Freddie Spencer and Carl Fogarty and their partners. Other star riders including Peter Hickman, Michael Rutter, Maria Costello, John ‘Mooneyes’ Cooper and Peter Williams will also be making personal appearances

REV IT UP! See and hear some of the most famous race machines in the world being fired up for your entertainment

LAST CHANCE! The draw for a 1960 BSA Gold Star will be made in the afternoon, so buy your raffle tickets rapido to be in with a chance to win

Bikes can park absolutely free at the Museum but there is a £5 charge for each car (so share!). Raffle tickets and further info from 01675 444123 / thenmm.co.uk
