Show revs up to find biker babe A new search has been launched to find the Biker Babe of North Wales The winner of the competition will be crowned at the popular Motorbike Show which is being held in Llangollen on August 7 and 8. Last year’s show was hailed a roaring success by the thousands of bike fans who came from far and wide. The organisers, Xuberance Events, are promising bigger and better things this year and the preparations are hotting up already – not least thanks to the Biker Babe competition. Xuberance boss David Green explained that biker babes or grid girls were a big feature of all the best biking events - and the Motorbike Show was no exception. The search for the North Wales Biker Babe is once again being spearheaded by the leading model Lauren Knowles, 20, from Prestatyn. She is a former current Miss Prestatyn and came third in the Miss Wales competition. Lauren, who is signed up to a top model agency in Manchester, is delighted that she was asked to return as the face of the Biker Babe competition – as well as being the head judge. She said: “I am really proud to be the face of the Biker Babe competition. I am really excited about it.  “The first competition last year was a huge success and prompted a huge amount of interest – not just in North Wales but throughout the biking fraternity across the UK.“Last year’s Biker Babe was the very beautiful Catrin Ferrandis..She was a very worthy winner and we are looking for somebody equally gorgeous and glamorous to take over her crown.” Entrants will need to email a picture of themselves and a brief 50-word biography to Xuberance. The candidates’ photos will then be posted on the Motorbike Show website so that bike fans can vote to choose the five finalists who will attend the first day of the event. The winner, to be chosen by a panel of judges, will receive a £400 prize while the runners-up will each get £50. In addition, the winner will be paid to do more promotions work on the second day of the show as well. David Green said: “All the best bike shows have a concentration of biker babes and the inaugural Biker Babe competition was phenomenally popular last year. “The show itself is all about celebrating everything local in terms of bikes so we came up with the idea of linking that into a competition instead of bringing girls up from London. “We thought it would be far better to search for somebody who is local to us. By launching this competition we will be highlighting the amount of potential we have in relation to biker babes. “The local biking fraternity has given us fantastic support from the outset and this year’s event will be bigger and better. “We have doubled the number of exhibitors – not only selling but also providing advice. “This is a show for bikers from all disciplines, from the vintage and classic bikes right through to the road racing bikes.” Among the displays at the Motorbike Show will be beautiful old bikes from the collection of Llangollen Motor Museum proprietor Gwilym Owen. There’ll also be motorbike displays, expert advice clinics, a club corner, a live action arena as well as a custom bike show.
