THE 25th annual Classic Motorcycle Show took place in Caerleon on the weekend and was a roaring success.

The annual show held at Caerleon Comprehensive School was presented by the Ponthir British Motorcycle Club.

The classic bikes ranged from a 1907 Vindec Special and 1903 Graham Brothers side car - the world's oldest known sidecar to a 1978-80 Harley Davidson FXE 1340cc.

Paul Dunstall and his son, Oliver, said they were impressed by the show. Mr Dunstall said: "I like old bikes, there are some really beautiful classic bikes here.

"My son likes the scramblers and enjoys watching them."

Bike enthusiasts Ian Pavitt, Ray Jones and Ray Stevens have more than 30 years experience of attending classic bike shows.

Mr Jones, owner of a 1952 Panther said: "Bikes give you a sense of freedom when you ride and it's unbeatable."

Proceeds from the show go to Caerleon Comprehensive.
