got myself over to Stafford this weekend for the Classic Bike Show.

 

john kochinski was guest of honour  and his Cagiva GP500 bike was on show .

 

Didn't bother with the trade stands outside as they tend to be the same every year but I did notice that the sellers of motorcycle clothing were absent (mostly) due to the issue of non CE certified gear which is needed to sell fit for purpose. this kicked off at the Manchester bike show when trading standards appeared  and closed most of the vendors down.
