Hello everyone, i am one of the motorcycle organisers of the Coventry MotoFest, now that the latest show is over its time to start planning for the 2017 event. We hope to have more static bikes, more bikes on track, and more biking-related activities next year and for this we need the help of bikers like yourselves. We had over 125,000 people come down this year for the 2 day event which is immense considering this was only the 3rd year we have run the event, the national press loved it (see below), but then again we did have a £1.8m aston martin supercar, racing trucks, drift cars, formula cars, le mans racers, turbo drag bikes, classic 2-stroke GP racers, classic british bikes, modern-classic japanese bikes, the front end of an aircraft, wheelie machines, rides for the kids and our own specially brewed beer (the MotoFest Multigrade).

If you feel like taking part i will be your main contact (until we update the website to accept bike entries for 2017), start talking amongst yourselves about bringing a selection of bikes down between you all, our only stipulation is that to be part of the track or static display they need to be at least 20 years old in 2017 (i.e. need to be manufactured before 1997). Its free to enter the static display, and if you want to go on track thats free as well.

If you do wish to come down for a static display it would be good for you to nominate one respected forum/club member as a "team-leader", i can contact them, and they can contact you...and vice versa.

Hope to see you down, ill keep updating this page as we get new information.
