19th Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show

Last October while I was traveling across Europe I had the opportunity to spend a couple of days at the Carole Nash Staffordshire Classic Motorcycle Show. The event is held on approximately 160 acres, and is one of the largest motorcycle shows in Europe.

While I have worked in the motorcycle industry for over 20 years now, the quantity and quality of motorcycles at this show was just completely overwhelming. One of the coolest pieces of the show was the hot pits. Racers from the 60’s and 70’s bought out their perfectly restored racers, fired them up, and then told the crowd what it was like on the track over 40 years ago. If you have the opportunity to make the journey, I guarantee that you will have a blast.
