STARS from the motorcycling world will visit the region next week to share some of their techniques and secrets with fans.

The North Yorkshire Road Racing Supporters Club (NYRRSC) holds its annual chat show at Club Amadeus, Northallerton, next Tuesday.

Among those taking part will be former World Superbike Champion Colin Edwards.

Known to his legions of fans as the Texas Tornado, he switched to the Repsol Honda Team in the Moto GP class this season and, after his Northallerton date, he will be heading to Donington Park for the British Grand Prix.

Joining him on stage will be James Toseland, leader of the World Superbike Championship, who makes the trip up from his Sheffield home after the recent round in the US, at Laguna Seca, where he claimed a second place on his Fila Ducati.

Eurosport Moto GP commentator Toby Moody will also be taking part in the show, which will include an auction, a raffle and a Question Time during which fans can pose any manner of questions to the stars.

Aprilia Moto GP star Shane "Shakey" Byrne is hoping to attend the event but has yet to finalise his schedule. However, double British Superbikes winner Scott Smart has confirmed his participation.

Doors open at 7.30pm and admission is £8 for adults with accompanied children £2.00.

Further details are available from NYRRSC secretary Sue Symons on (01904) 339647.
