Brightona 2010 - UKBike was there to see all the action and get some photos.

Click here to check out all the pictures from the day.

Brightona 2010, ran successfully yesterday down at Maderia Drive. UKBike was there to see all the action.

Brightona is one of the biggest motoring events with participants as high as 40,000, Brighton was heaving with motorcycles of all shapes and sizes most of the day.

Since 2004 Brightona has donated a staggering £75,000!! This has allowed vital life saving equipment to be purchased and improve the lives of hundreds of people and families in Sussex.

Growing each year, Brightona raised £12,500 in 2006 and £23,000 in 2008. Hopefully 2010 broke the record.

Bikers come from all over the country; in fact, all over Europe - and maybe even further afield.

This was truly a sight worth seeing! Bikes start to arrive mid-morning and fill up the Drive: the noise, the smell of petrol fumes, the wave and wave of arriving bikers all generate an atmosphere of excitement. A great coming together.

By the time the Drive was filled up, a vast range of motobikes is on display. Bikes and bikers of all ages; bikes, trikes, sidecars; every manufacturer's name in the history of the motorcycle in represented. An exaggeration perhaps, but you'll certainly find Vincent, Norton, Kawasaki, Honda, Harley-Davidson, Ducati, Aprilia, KTM, Moto Guzzi, Victory, BSA, BMW, Triumph, Suzuki, National Chopper Club, and many customised machines, especially trikes.

There was also a stage, DJ, rock'n' roll, bands, etc to provide the entertainment.

We were there with our camera yesterday taking a number of pictures of bikes that took our fancy. All our photos will be uploaded to our facebook page www.facebook.com/ukbike.

Brightona 2008 - picture special

Thanks to everyone who came to Maderia Drive for Brightona 2008. The aim this year was to raise £30,000 for the Sussex Heart Charity, a figure that will hopefully become a reality after the record numbers of bikes, riders and spectators that came down to Brighton seafront on Sunday.

UKBike were at Brightona, taking a lot of pictures - here's a small selection...



























There are loads more at the UKBike Brightona galleries.

Panamaniac has shared his Brightona experiences, while here is a short write-up from The Argus.

This Sunday, the south coast will be swamped with bikes as the Brightona 2008 show comes to Madeira Drive, along Brighton seafront.

Last year's event was a great success - over £20,000 was raised for the Sussex Heart Charity, and the organisers are hoping to build on that figure with this years donation.

Brightona 2008 promises to be even bigger and better, with a full line-up of live music across two stages and at the nearby Concorde2, plenty of stalls and a bigger range of custom bikes on display.

All bikes, trikes and scooters are welcome. Entry is just £5 per bike including a pin and programme, free entry for the viewing public.

UKBike.com are proud to sponsor Brightona - we will be there on Sunday with our van next to Rider's Digest, come and say hello! We would have the UKBike bus with us but sadly it broke down, obviously intimidated by all the two-wheelers on show...

We will hopefully post a report on the blog some time next week. If you are planning to go on Sunday, then please let us know about your day - leave a comment here or e-mail tom@ukbike.com.
