All three days of the 2023 Goodwood Revival awoke to the low rumble of more than 200 pre-1966 motorcycles. Paying homage to 1940s, ’50s and ’60s bike ownership, a huge group of bobbers, choppers and their riders opened the festivities in unique style.
This opening slot is developing into a Revival favourite, with the empty morning circuit reserved to celebrate icons of the automotive industry, or key moments in time. In recent years, the opening parade has illuminated the Fiat 500, classic Minis and the Austin 7, among others.
This time around, a massive horde of two-wheeled machines – the biggest collection of individual vehicles the Revival has ever seen on a track parade – included BMW Motorrad, Royal Enfield, Indian Motorcycles, Triumph and BSA bikes. Most notably, the parade was led by a huge variety of Harley-Davidsons, the marque so strongly associated with bobber and chopper culture.
