Phillip Mccallen to headline winter classic!

-

TT legend Phillip Mccallen will be guest of honour at the Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic Show in a new year treat for motorcycle fans.

The popular road-racer will be joining the crowds at Newark Showground on January 8-9 and be interviewe­d over the weekend by Lincolnshi­re racing star-turnedpres­enter and fellow TT winner, Steve Plater.

Phillip Mccallen is synonymous with Honda, road-racing and winning! He is without doubt one of the most gifted road-racers of the modern age; 11 times a winner at the Isle of Man TT, multiple winner at the North West 200 and the Ulster GP, winner of the Macau Grand Prix and British Supersport.

At the peak of his powers ‘Supermac’ collected winners’ trophies at almost all the road-race meetings he took part in. In 1992 at the North West 200 Mccallen had five race wins from six starts. At the 1996 Ulster GP he took five wins in one day, and perhaps his crowning glory was winning fourfo races out of five at the Isle of Manm TT, a record whichw stood unbrokenu for 14 years.y Supermac retiredr after nearlyn two decadesd of

motorcycyc­le racing.g

Showgoers can expect to see the usual attraction­s that make this season opener a stand-out event. Motorcycle owners’ clubs will return with their impressive displays alongside a large indoor and outdoor trade and auto-jumble section, and a large collection of privately owned motorcycle­s will be on display. There will also be live firing-up sessions of a selection of bikes and scooters, leading on to the large and music-filled Scooter World and Custom Bike Halls. Tickets for the event are on sale now at an early bird price of £10 until January 3.
