Lancashire’s largest motorcycle dealers is hosting its annual free family open day to celebrate their 11th birthday.

The Rocket Centre, in Blackburn is throwing a spectacular event on Saturday 11th July, from 10am-4pm. It promises to be an amazing day out with confirmed British Superbikes PBM Kawasaki rider Stuart Easton and road racing, TT & Macau GP legend Gary Johnson.

Eurosport commentator and ex-racer, Jamie Whitham is back once again to keep order on the day as the event host, with the main attraction a death-defying, must-see Vertical Trix Stunt Team display.

A great line up of riders will be attending including:

Christian Iddon- BSB Suzuki Rider Josh Waters- BSB Suzuki Rider Michael Laverty- BSB Tyco BMW Rider Leon Haslam- World Superbike Aprilia Rider Adam Jenkinson- British Superstock Rider James Ellison- BSB JG Speedfit Kawasaki Rider Lee Bob Jackson- BSB Buildbase Kawasaki Rider

Dynojet Truck will be performing power runs as part of a competition to find the highest BHP CC bike; there will be display trucks from Oxford; and motorbike brands Arai and Shark will be offering expert advice on helmet servicing.

They’ll be plenty of hit tunes by superstar DJ Mr Rocket Walker, the Managing Director, and of course there'll be lots of special offers throughout the showroom on all brands including Alpinestars bikes, clothing and accessories.

But it doesn’t stop there. With a hog roast amongst some of the fresh food and drinks and a bouncy slide and rodeo bull, there is something for everyone to enjoy.

What’s more, all proceeds from the charity raffle and children’s rides will go to the North West Air Ambulance, who we proudly support. So make sure you pop down with the family on Saturday 11th July from 10am-4pm and have an fuel-packed, fun day with the motorcycling experts.
