A popular event that has been on the road for more than 50 years takes place in Pembrokeshire this weekend.
About 100 veteran, vintage and classic motorbikes will meet at Saundersfoot Harbour tomorrow (Saturday) for the 53rd annual Welsh National Vintage Motorcycle Rally.
The bikes will start off from the harbour at one-minute intervals from 10am onwards, and competitors will ride through Pembrokeshire before returning to the harbour from 3pm onwards.
All the machines taking part date back to before December 1982, with the earliest machine being a 1904 Phoenix.
Riders will enjoy a social dinner at the Merlewood Hotel that evening, where an auction will take place in aid of the Wales Air Ambulance.
On Sunday morning, all the bikes will be displayed on the harbour between 10am and noon, with judging of the Concours d’Elegance taking place at 11am.
