    £17 on the day or £13.85 advance. Plus a fiver to park the car. Bikes free. Never been. Is it a worthwhile event or a day spent mostly yearning over unaffordable shiney toys?

    I haven’t been for a long while but it was worth the trip :)
    Plenty of bikes on display and the usual trade stands with some end of line bargains to be had etc :p
    They used to have a round of the European stunt riding championship :eek:
    Dunno if they still do that :confused:
    Used to be at Edinburgh airport but will need to check tinterweb to see if it’s still there or somewhere else :p

    I reckon it’s one of the better ones most manufacturers there plus plenty of accessories etc plus the small hall has loads of second hand gear tools etc and the last hall is full of owners clubs customs etc so loads of bikes from our younger days.usually some canny stunt riding etc outside too.
    Think of it as a smaller scale version of the NEC combined with the Stafford mechanics restoration show

    The website says it is still on and the forecast is improving. I wish them luck......they may just squeeze in with the weather and road network re-opening.

    Definitely cancelled this weekend.

    It's worth the trip if you haven't been before, but it's very much same show every year. Loved my first visit, second year OK, third year bored.

    I go every 3 years'ish. Don't get the same bargains as you did. Got a Triumph leather jacket for £50 first year, never had a sales section since:confused:

    Sensible decision the car park would be a nightmare and a lot of exhibitors and club stands would have struggled by the sound of it
    Fingers crossed we’ll go by bike if it’s April
