Paula and I will be at this in September. I know quite a few on here have some cracking Japanese classics so I thought I'd give it a heads up here as it would be great to see and meet a few tossers. If you exhibit a bike you get free camping and admission to the Haynes Motor Museum at Sparkford.

Organised by the Taunton and Bridgwater section of the Vintage Japanese MotorCycle Club we bring you a Festival of Classic Japanese motorcycles on Sunday 15th September 2013.
The show will be held at Haynes Motor Museum with all the bikes being undercover in two large halls within the Museum.
It is a one day festival celebrating Vintage and Classic motorcycles of Japan.
There will be up to three hundred classic and vintage Japanese motorcycles from the earliest examples in this country up to the modern but classic motorcycles of fifteen years ago, Racers, Trials, Tourers, Mopeds, Drag bikes, Six Cylinders, Big Fours, Two Stroke Triples, all makes and all designs.
Motorcycles of Japan that you have never seen before and names you didn’t know existed, you will be able to see where the modern Japanese motorcycle of today started and plot their course through the years.
Club displays of all the Japanese makes and models, plus private entries will fill these halls and make for an interesting, informative and enjoyable day out for you and all your family.
Talk to the owners about the bikes and restorations, see the bikes you had in your youth or wanted, get information on the clubs and join on the day if you so wish.
It is an event not to be missed.
Included in the admission price is also access to Haynes Motor Museum the UK’s largest exhibition of the greatest cars from around the world with over 400 amazing cars and bikes, from nostalgic classics of the 50’s and 60’s, glorious Bentleys and Rolls Royce’s to exciting super cars like the Jaguar XJ220.
