William said: “I am very pleased to be invited back to Ballymena to host this Bike night, we had a great time at the last one and raised much needed funds for the Children’s Hospice. I am looking forward to catching up with lots of local Bikers and fans of the Ulster Grand Prix at this event.”

The ever popular competition for best looking bike and rider will make a welcome return and will be judged by William Dunlop.

Amanda Bennett, Town Centre Development Manager sees this as another great opportunity for Ballymena, which has a long and celebrated relationship with Road Racing.

BikeSafe will be offering observed rideouts with an Advanced Police Motorcycle Instructor and these can be booked on the night. This is yet another fantastic event and I am so pleased we have this opportunity to celebrate the successes of William Dunlop this season and give fans a chance to socialise with him. The enthusiasm of the motorcycling community for events like this is fantastic and makes me proud to be a part of it!”
