Some of the machines will probably date back to well before the First World War, while even the youngest are likely to have rolled off the production line soon after the Second World War.

Names like AJS, BSA, Norton Panther, Royal Enfield, Sunbeam, Triumph and Velocette will evoke great memories among motorcycling aficionados.

They will make a round trip to Bamburgh and back to Etal in time for lunch. The bikes will once again be put on display. Some riders are likely to be in period costume.

Last year’s event was cancelled due to Covid-19 but, in 2019, 61 bikes took part.
