DAVE Death Motorcycles played host to a Superbike star earlier this month.

Ex-World Superbike and British Superbike champion Neil Hodgson was visiting a friend on the Island and offered to pop into the Carisbrooke bike dealer on the evening of July 6, to meet staff and customers.

The recently-retired Superbike champion — who was riding for Yamaha until an injury forced his retirement — signed autographs and posed for photos with motorbike enthusiasts.

Kev Rann, of Dave Death Motorcycles, said: "We had hundreds of customers turn up and it was a really nice atmosphere here in the showroom."

A raffle was also held to raise money for charity.
