KICKBACK #8 View the bikes, hear the bikes and… watch them rip around hall two!
Let’s face it, looking at and scrutinizing custom motorcycles is great fun and most satisfying; it’s also thought-provoking and, for many builders, motivating and inspirational. KICKBACK – the national custom bike show – is the platform for the UK’s custom scene…and in April, at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, some of the bikes will be fired up and ripping around one of the exhibition halls!
Throughout the two days of the show, visitors will be able to enjoy watching a collection of vintage flat trackers, café racers and drag bikes hurtling around inside Hall 2. These live displays will take place in-between the stunt shows performed by the Two Brothers Stunt & Racing Team.
Meanwhile in the relative peace and quiet of the main hall there will be over one-hundred, stylish, custom-made bikes to drool over; KICKBACK is also hosting the National Championship of Custom Bike Building. It’s custom motorcycling nirvana…
Britain’s finest and most talented motorcycle and custom engineers, designers and fabricators will be displaying their works of art at The KICKBACK Motorcycle Show at Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry from 16-17th April 2016.
