Avid bikers might want to motor down to the Ballymoney Motorcycle Show in March to help support a good cause.

The show, which will be held at the Joey Dunlop Leisure Centre on March 5th and 6th, donates part of its proceedings to charity, with bike insurance policyholders able to support the Robert Dunlop Memorial Sculpture Fund this year.

Set up in the aftermath of the Northern Irish motorcycle racer's death in 2008, the charity is looking to raise money for a sculpture of the Ballymoney rider to be placed in a memorial garden, which is being created by the local borough council.

According to the Ballymoney and Moyle Times, traders and those running stall will not have to pay a fee but will be asked to donate to the fund. Space is already limited for the event, the publication claims.

An auto jumble will be held during the show, which will see a range of bikes on display, including racing machines.

Bike insurance policyholders paying the £6 entry fee will also be able to see local riders such as William, Michael and Sam Dunlop, Paul Robinson and Jeff Shaw in the flesh.
