Lampkin joins the show

Twelve times world trials champion Dougie Lampkin

MBE will appear alongside TT legend Phillip McCallen as guest of honour at the upcoming International Classic MotorCycle Show at Stafford County Showground on July 3/4.

Fans at the event will hear stories from Dougie about his own successes as well as his life as a member of the famous Lampkin off-road clan.

Doug won his first world round at Houghton Towers in 1994, when he won his first British title and finished sixth in the world title chase at his first attempt. In the same year he won the Scottish Six Days Trial for the first time and has since accumulated another 11 Scottish wins. He has also accumulated an incredible 20 crowns, including two Spanish and six UK titles.

Although still competing in the Scottish, Doug otherwise rarely rides trials and is now a Red Bull athlete, giving displays of trick riding all over the world. He is a regular at the Goodwood Festival, where he memorably rode up Lord March’s bannister and over his roof. His Isle of Man ride round the 37-mile circuit on his rear wheel stood out as one of his greatest achievements.

Doug will appear on stage throughout the weekend for live interviews and signing opportunities, and will make an appearance in the trials area too, alongside the much-loved Owd Codgers club.

Visitors to the show can expect to see the usual attractions that make Stafford a stand-out event. Motorcycle owners’ clubs will return with their impressive displays alongside a massive indoor and outdoor trade and autojumble section, the famous multi-million-pound Bonhams auction, and not forgetting the excitement in the Classic Racer GP Paddock, which can be heard across the showground.

Tickets for the event are on sale now at an early-bird price of £13 until June 28. Visit www.classicbikeshows.com for further information.
