Historic Motorcycles in Action
One of the highlights of this year’s festival will be seeing motorcycles from the National Motorcycle Museum collection tackle the famous Goodwood Hill.
Museum Director James Hewing will once again be joined by Museum Restorer Wes, renowned engineer Allen Millyard, and Mike Armitage, Editor of Classic Bike magazine, as they ride historic machines from the Museum collection throughout the event.
Preparing a Record Breaker
Behind the scenes, preparations are already underway in our restoration workshop.
Among this year’s star attractions is the 1928 Grindlay Peerless JAP, ridden by Bill Lacey to become the first motorcycle to cover 100 miles in one hour on British soil at Brooklands in 1928. Powered by a meticulously prepared JAP engine, the machine achieved an astonishing 103.3 miles in 60 minutes, earning its place in British motorcycling history.
TT Legends Return to the Hill
Joining the line-up are two legendary Isle of Man TT-winning Nortons.
The 1992 Norton Rotary ‘White Charger’ is one of the most famous TT-winning motorcycles of the modern era. Ridden by Steve Hislop, it secured Norton’s first Senior TT victory since 1961 after an unforgettable six-lap battle with Carl Fogarty in what is widely regarded as one of the greatest TT races ever.
Also appearing is the 1949 Norton Model 30 International, the motorcycle that carried Geoff Duke to his very first Isle of Man TT victory in the Senior Clubman’s TT, launching a career that would see him become one of the sport’s greatest champions.
The line-up is completed by the iconic 1971 Formula 750 Works BSA, raced by John Cooper to a famous victory over Giacomo Agostini at Mallory Park in one of Britain’s most celebrated racing successes.
