KICKBACK #8
View the bikes, hear the bikes and…
watch them rip around hall two!
Let’s face it, looking at and scrutinizing custom motorcycles is great fun and most
satisfying; it’s also thought-provoking and, for many builders, motivating and
inspirational. KICKBACK - the national custom bike show - is the platform for the UK’s
custom scene…and in April, at Stoneleigh Park in Warwickshire, some of the bikes will
be fired up and ripping around one of the exhibition halls!
Throughout the two days of the show, visitors will be able to enjoy watching a
collection of vintage flat trackers, café racers and drag bikes hurtling around inside
Hall 2. These live displays will take place in-between the stunt shows performed by
the Two Brothers Stunt & Racing Team.
Meanwhile in the relative peace and quiet of the main hall there will be over onehundred, stylish, custom-made bikes to drool over; KICKBACK is also hosting the
National Championship of Custom Bike Building. It’s custom motorcycling
nirvana…
Britain’s finest and most talented motorcycle and custom engineers, designers and
fabricators will be displaying their works of art at The KICKBACK Motorcycle Show at
Stoneleigh Park, near Coventry from 16-17th April 2016.
There will be a superb collection of custom-made motorcycles on display and all bikes
will be accompanied by a magnificent cast of master (and young) builders.
KICKBACK is a two-day exhibition celebrating the very best of British engineering and
design, it will also play host to the National Championship of Custom Bike Building, a

the UK!

to encourage and support up-and-coming bike customizers and designers under the
