Thinking about going to this years Motorcycle Show at the NEC, just wondering if any one else will be traveling down. Last time I went down there was in 2007 good day out but found it to be very expensive.

We have a guy at work who's going. Flying all the way to the UK just for this. He says you can purchase a lot of stuff at a real discounted price.

Yes you are right there is some great bargains to be had, but he will have to search around for them as there are many traders there. Should be a good day looking forward to it now.

I'm going to try a run down, thats if I can nick the young'uns Cooper.
Lord only knows what the northern M6 is like with Cumbria almost underwater.
Usually a good venue to buy new kit.

Hi wobbit, looking forward to it myself again, just make sure you take plenty of food and drink. You will be suprised how much you consume after all that walking.

I agree plenty of bargains if you shop around. dont think it wil be to bad traving down here as we in staffordshire have missed out on a lot of the bad weather. Only about 50 miles from here should be there in a hour or so, just depends what the M6 will be like. Travelled down a few weeks ago road works and plenty of average speed camaras.

Last day of the show is best for bargains. I got a genuine 33% off my arai a couple of years ago, You have to watch out for shoddy copies of stuff though, there have been some warnings from trading standards about rubbish being sold at bike shows.
I'm not going this year myself as too many manufacturers have either pulled out (like Honda) or severely restricted what they bring along, and the tickets and refreshments are so overpriced.
I'm gonna wait for the London show.

Apparently though I was talking to one of the guys from London bikesafe who says that the 2010 national show is going to be big with a lot of stands there. And it's free. It will be in Sheffield some time around June. If it's as good as the met show then it should be a good day out.
