This coming weekend is set to be a treat for bike insurance policyholders heading to Scotland for the annual Grampian Motorcycle Convention.
Set to take place at Grampian Transport Museum on Sunday, the event is being staged in partnership with Bon Accord Motorcycle Club, the Carluke Gazette reports.
Club member and veteran motorsports man Robbie Allan told the publication that the show will be "pure entertainment".
The 68-year-old, who lives in Boghead near Lesmahagow, has been a member of the club for more than 50 years and plans to attend the event with his brothers Vic, 65 and Jim, aged 74.
Taking to their bikes, the brothers will be watched by their 94-year-old mum, Annie.
In the past, the Allan brothers had successful riding careers, with Vic winning Grand Prix championships.
The Aberdeenshire event, held in Alford, will include classic racer demonstrations and welcomes all kinds of bikes, including vintage, classic and modern.
Additionally, a moped marathon will take place during the day and there will also be a funfair. Adults are admitted for £10, while children can enter for £5.
