Classic Bikes Ride Out

On 23rd July 2004 as part of the world renowned KM War and Peace Show (21st- 25th July), around 100 classic motorcycles will be taking part in the Motorcycle Ride Out 2004.

The War and Peace Show attracts around 3,000 military vehicles from all over the world from bikes to jeeps to challenger tanks!

Always a popular part of the show, the bikes leave the Beltring site at around 11.30am and will ?ride out? around the villages of Kent for about 2 hours, stopping off for lunch on the way. Following the ride out the bikes return to the show to take their turn by the main arena, with trophies and prizes awarded for the best examples.

The Motorbike ride out has been an important part of the show for eight years now, and the numbers of bikes taking part has steadily increased over the years. All bikes exhibiting at the show are welcome to take part, and as such, bikes from the 1930?s onwards form a stunning parade.

Throughout the five day show all manner of vehicles take part in some stunning arena action as well as being on display. Living history is also well represented with groups representing various regiments from conflicts ranging from WW2 to the Gulf War.

Alongside the main arena action this year sees a second arena for the first time. Entitled the 'Herb Miller Arena' , this area will see a quieter form of entertainment, with 40?s fashion shows, marching bands and a classic bicycle parade among other things.
