Live Action and Special Attractions<\/h2>\n

One of the highlights of the Stafford show is the Live Start-Up Area in the GP Paddock<\/strong>, where visitors can experience classic motorcycles being fired into life \u2014 bringing the sound, smell and spectacle of historic machinery roaring back into action.<\/p>\n

Visitors will also be able to see a special tribute to the iconic 1935 George Formby film No Limit<\/em><\/strong>. On display will be a faithful replica of the film\u2019s famous \u201cShuttleworth Snap\u201d<\/strong> motorcycle, built from a 1926 Triumph Model P<\/strong> and recreated by enthusiast Graeme Hardy. The distinctive machine, complete with its chequered streamlining, will appear in the GP Paddock and lead the cavalcade during the weekend.<\/p>\n

Adding even more spectacle is the legendary Wall of Death<\/strong>, performed by the Fox family who have been touring with their breathtaking vertical motordrome show since the 1920s. Riding vintage Indian Scout motorcycles on a 20-foot-high vertical wall<\/strong>, the display delivers an unforgettable experience of speed, noise and pure two-wheeled theatre.
