Vintage bikes heading for Shifnal

 

Vintage motorbikes and cycles will arrive in a Shropshire town  for a special free event.

The Midlands Motorcycle and Cycle Heritage Day will be staged in Shifnal on Saturday 19  July, in a day that celebrates British manufacturing excellence.

Organiser David Morris, director of the Italian AutoMoto Club, said that this was the second year the event had been held and he was expecting an interesting array of machines to be displayed in the town centre.

“The aim is to celebrate the country’s motorcycle and cycle heritage, with models ranging from very early machines right through to the very latest high tech bikes. It will be a free day out for families to come and learn something about their local industrial heritage as well as enjoy all that Shifnal has to offer and it will be followed the following day by the hugely popular Bike4Life event at Weston Park, so it promises to be a special weekend.

“The Shifnal Ukulele Band will be playing at 11am and representatives from the Midlands Air Ambulance will also be in attendance so it should be an informative and fun day for everyone.”
