The road racing, mountain biking, lorry mechanic blasted around the specially-built 37 meter diameter wall at a speed of 78.150mph on the BSA that he built in his own workshop, with the help of his dad Ian and mechanic Cammy Whitworth.

The Stafford show will also welcome the man who taught Guy the ropes of riding the wall – Ken Fox – as his Wall of Death, complete with vintage Indian Scouts and troupe of riders, will once again entertain the crowds throughout the weekend.

And that’s not all. An incredible selection of classic motorcycles will be brought to the venue over the weekend as part of static exhibitions, club displays, a Grand Prix race paddock, trials demonstration area and parade laps of the main ring, while hundreds of trade stands a vast autojumble will pack into the halls and outside areas.
