The show was well represented by bikes of all ages and makes, and was moved from the Seven Towers Leisure Centre due to the demand of owners to display their prized machinery.

The show, although run under the name of the VJMC, was open to all types of motorcycle not just Japanese models.

On show were British, European, American, Italian, Swedish and Japenese motorcycles, along with a few rare machines such as the Konig Grand Prix Motorcycle, which was one of only four or five ever made.

The classic british scene was well remembered with the likes of bikes built by Rudge, BSA, Royal Enfield, Norton Ariel and others looking splendid in there original condition.

For the scooter lover there was a great stand put on by local scooter owners showing a large display of these classic machines from the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s.

Some stands went the distance and showed dvds of past clubs runs and events that the club had took part in.

For those interested in road racing there was everyting on hand from Rocket Ron Haslem’s championship winning Honda from the 80’s to the NSU Sportsmax from the 50’s, complete with the famous dustbin fairing.

This bike caused some amusement from the younger generation wondering how did anybody ever ride it, never mind win championships on it.

There was a large display of road racing machinery from the 70’s and 80’s with bikes that belonged to the famous Armoy Armada and some from the Dromara Destroyers.

These bikes brought back many a happy day watching the local road race scene through a hole in the hedge, all that was missing was the smell of the two stroke.

The off road section was well represented by the classic scramble and Grasstrack Club of Northern Ireland being on hand to show you and talk about the way these machines were built, and ran in days gone by.

They had various different models on display ranging from Maico, CCM, Greeves and even a couple of classic twinshock motocross sidecars one of which was raced the weekend before in Lisburn and is currently doing well in the Irish Championship Classic Races.

In the Minor Hall there was an autojumble which saw a lot of people selling quailty used parts for classic machines.

Not only was there parts for sale, you could have bought a framed photo of your favorite racer from yesteryear and even crash helmets signed by today’s race favorite John McGuinness

Former racer Ian Simpson and good friend of the VJMC was on hand with his father Bill, selling thier hand built fuel tanks and frames for the classic TZ Yamaha Race Range.
