Classic Bike Guide

We’he been to Cardiff Classic Motorcycle Show

WE DO LIKE A SHOW HERE AT CBG, AND they’re not all mega-budget events with superstar guests.

Sometimes, they are small and perfectly formed – and the South Wales Sunbeam Club show in Cardiff is one of those.

The event takes place every Easter bank holiday, and this century never happened. And, as it is a small club show, you get at least 100 bikes, all different, and it’s a fiver to get in. A splendid way to get into spring and, being nicely undercover, it is very suitable for April in Wales, when the weather can be a touch mercurial.
