Whether you need one particular part or you just fancy a mooch through mountains of motorcycling memorabilia, you should make a date in your diary for one of Britainโs biggest bike jumbles.
The Carole Nash Eurojumble is celebrating its 25th year, returning to Netley Marsh, between Cadnam and Totton, Hants SO40 7GY, on Friday, August 31 and Saturday, September 1. Gates open from 9am.
More than 300 traders showcased their wares at last yearโs event and 2018 looks certain to be even bigger โ offering a mammoth display for motorcyclists in search of spare parts, tools, books, signs, magazinesย and complete machines.
Plus, Charterhouse Auctions will be returning to the show, with bidding starting from 1pm on the Friday. Keep an eye out on the Classic Bike Shows social media channels for updates about whatโs going into the auction. And for more information on the show, visit www.netleymarsheurojumble.com
As a child Bertie (well, Robert back thenโฆ blame his sister for the nickname) was exposed to motorcycles thanks to his uncles. They would show up at his house with a lovely lady as pillion throughout the 1970s and 1980s.
After a naughty time on field bikes (itโs what we did back then) Bertie passed his test in the early 1990s and became a reporter for MCN in 1995, moving to the sports desk and covering World Superbikes in 1996.
With a change to Bike Magazine in 1997, he stayed until 2000 as news, features and road test editor. Moving into PR with Cosworth, Bert was bored with cars and returned to bikes in 2001 with Two Wheels Only, becoming editor in 2002 and leaving to be freelance at the end of 2004.
With almost a decade freelancing, Bertie joined Mortons in 2013 and became editor of Classic Motorcycle Mechanics, a post heโs desperately clung to, to this day. And no, heโs never had a pretty girl on the back of his bike.
