2 MONTHS AHEAD
Bulldog Bash
August 10-13, Long Marston Airfield, Warwickshire
Centred around the drag-racing strip, the Bulldog Bash is the custom show of the year. Lots of noise, lots of bands and a lot of beer. www.bulldogbash.co.uk
Brackley Festival of Motorcycling
August 13, Brackley, Northamptonshire
Nine years ago some volunteers decided to have a bike meet in Brackley. It’s now the largest event of its type, with roads closed off to let a number of bikes be seen in their glory. Wall of death and custom shows too. www.brackleyfestivalofmotorcycling.co.uk
British Motogp
August 25-27, Silverstone, Northamptonshire
The 3.67-mile circuit offers many different vantage points, with as much action to see on the Friday and Saturday as there is on race day. www.motogp.com
