DONINGTON CLASSIC BIKE FEST 2015: THE LEGENDS PARADE

Here is the feature event of the 2015 Donington Park CRMC festival - the parade of legendary motorcycles and riders, including 3 times World Champion Freddie Spencer, 6 times World Champion Jim Redman, Ron Haslam, Niall Mackenzie, and former British Champion Steve Parrish

Bikes include a number of the George Beale "Honda 6" replicas, a Gilera 4 cylinder GP 500, a multitude of RG500 Suzukis including a couple in the colours of 2 times 500cc World Champ Barry Sheene. There were John Player Nortons, 3 Honda RS500's, various Yamahas including a Rainey YZR500, and a Dave Potter TZ750.

Others included a Max Biaggi NSR250, plus dozens of other marques . . . easily the best gaggle of machines I have ever seen, and the paddock suite had even more on static. More video coming from this event soon, including action from the regular CRMC club racers and their machines!

There would have been even more start-up action from the Honda 6 machines but the video camera was throwing up weird error messages when the 6 fired up - the excessive noise from the bike seemed to effect the workings of the camera and was making it difficult to write data to the hard drive, so some footage was lost sadly! I hope to get another opportunity soon to film this incredible machine.
