Motorbikes of all shapes and sizes could be seen today (May 27) at the annual Margate .Meltdown.
The seafront from the clocktower to the harbour arm was jampacked with bikes and trikes on show and visitors.
The event, 60 years on from the “legendary seaside meetings of the Mods ‘n’ Rockers” in 1964, also included live entertainment with DJ Bill and George Guntrip, alongside three-piece band Bamboozle.
Organised by Ace Café London, the chosen charity to benefit from the event is The Royal British Legion Riders Branch (RBL RB).
The Meltdown comes on the heels of the annual Mod Weekender organised by Olby’s Soul Café.
The Whitsun event started in 2015 under the Great British Music Culture banner. After a decade or more in decline, the fortunes of Margate were starting to turn around thanks to people like Eli Thompson from the Westcoast CIC/Olby’s who teamed up with renowned Modernist promoters the New Untouchables to deliver the Mod and 60s event.
