Regular spectators at the event, Jeff and Pete had the opportunity to view the bikes on display along the quay front. Together they chose a bike as the evening’s Bike of the Night, and to go forward to the Bike of the Year competition at the end of September.

The winner was David Hambly from Warminster with his BMW S1000. Jeff and Pete agreed this was their favourite as it looked fast, and they loved the colours – red, white and blue. David is a regular visitor to the event and was pleased to be going home with the title.

It’s a great opportunity to meet up with friends, chat about the bikes and have a drink in the pub. It was fantastic to be so involved in this week’s event and we’re looking forward to seeing how David’s bike does in Bike of the Year this September.”
