Hundreds of biking enthusiasts from all over Britain converged on Keighley on Sunday for Colin Appleyard's annual Honda Goldwing Day.

Highlights of the event included the collection of 12 Goldwing GL1800s by their owners, who had pre-ordered the brand new model up to a year ago.

The GL1800 - which costs up to £17,000 - has been developed to replace the 1500 and is designed to appeal to a far wider market.

All the new owners - who had travelled from every corner of the UK including Kent, Scotland and the Republic of Ireland - were treated to a night's stay in the Haworth area, courtesy of Colin Appleyard, prior to taking delivery of their machines.

A buffet and a raffle at the open day together raised about £450 for the Goldwing Club's chosen beneficiary HOPE, a charity for disadvantaged children.

Colin Appleyard director Stuart Feeny said: "We had a huge number of bikes there. It was a superb day, and of course we were helped by the good weather.

"It was extra special this year because of the fact it coincided with the release of the GL1800.

"We are now recognised as probably the leading Honda Goldwing specialist in the whole of the UK - last year we sold 160 - and it was great to see such a good turn out on Sunday."

The raffle - for £200 of motorcycling gear - was won by a customer from Nottingham.
