Exhibition manager Nick Mowbray said: “James is a great speaker. He offers excellent insight into today’s racing scene in his TV duties, and has many stories to tell from a fruitful career which saw him win races across the world and two British championships. He’s got a great sense of humour too, and his rapport with Steve will be thoroughly entertaining.”

The rest of the Carole Nash Classic Bike Guide Winter Classic will include hundreds of trade stands and autojumble plots packing in to the halls of the venue giving visitors the chance to pick up parts, spares, tools, accessories, clothing, memorabilia and more.

Club stands and private entrants will also be displaying pristine restored and maintained classic machines of various makes models and eras.

Nick said: “We know that James has a few classic race bikes of his own, and we look forward to what he’ll bring. That’ll just be the tip of the iceberg though, there are some really special entries lined up.”
