Bikers Classics Returns to Spa, Belgium

If you want a hard core trip down racing nostalgic pit lane then the legendary race Belgium race circuit of Spa Francorchamps is the place to be over the long weekend of June 29-July 1 for the fifth running of Bikers Classics.
This year, the cast is headed by 15 times World Champion Giacomo Agostini, along with American Steve Baker. "King" Kenny the elder (if can make it from MotoGP) at Assen and a host of British and European stars.

But the best part of the weekend for me, and for hundreds of others, is that you can ride the track on a classic bike - race or road - in very relaxed track sessions. This means that you will see literally hundreds of superb - and not so superb - classic race and road machines hammering round a full blown GP circuit with all the joie de vivre of true enthusiasts. And, being Belgium, none of the track sessions is speed controlled so you can see some really committed riding.
