MAG's Welsh Show - Huge Success
Glorious sunshine greeted visitors to the Welsh Motorcycle
Show at the
scenic Royal Welsh Showground, Builth Wells.
This year's show attracted over 12,000 visitors throughout
the weekend that featured the MCN Stunt Spectacular with
amazing performances from the Free Style Jump Team, Team
Extreme, the incredible Mokus, MAG Sport's Sammymack and
European stunt Champion Kevin Carmichael.
Other attractions included the Custom & Classic Motorcycle
Show featuring what is thought to be the world's first
V Rod Trike, built by The Trike Shop in Cardiff. The Best
of Show award went to Mick & Helen Clarke for their
Harley-Davidson inspired masterpiece, 'Extreme Vision.'
Classic machines included Barry Sheene's Manx Norton on
which he took top honours at Donington last year. Complementing
the bike was another priceless relic on show in the shape
of the giant cup awarded to Sheene for the Classic race,
the only of the legend's prizes that he has not taken
home to Australia with him.
A display from the Beaulieu museum provided further kudos
to the display of over 150 machines in the indoor exhibition.
The Welsh Motorcycle Show's fortunes have turned around
dramatically since coming under MAG's wing and now represents
a major milestone on the bike show/rally scene, combining
the advantages of good permanent showground facilities
with the camping and bands of a more traditional biker
rally.
Organiser Gary Barnes: 'This was the best Welsh Show yet
and next year's will be better still. We've learned a
lot in the three years that we've been running it and
are confident that we can grow the event substantially.'
Supporting MAG events fuels the Riders lobby.
Next major event is MAG's Farmyard Party in Yorkshire.
June 21-23
