    They are trying hard to build this up , its a better time of year than the thing they did at Gmex in January.

    I know the Dainese store is there and a few dealers. Not able to attend this year

    I think I may go. After all the more that attend the better future events will be. Northern Powerhouse and all that political mumojumbo.

    I'm with you buddy, we can all moan about how crap these are but the more support they get the better they will be in future.

    I've just been informed I'm already booked this weekend. Bummer. I really must pay more attention to my wife in future.

    I went. It was rubbish; a glorified car-boot. BMW did not even have a stand.

    Yep I went, on Saturday, lots of local bike clubs, owners clubs and bikes in the Classic area (how about a Fireblade 1000RR Forum stand next year, chance to show your bike??).

    Good turn out from ACU with the club racing teams.

    Most of the 'new bike' stands were represented by local dealers supported my manufacturers (who cares if BMW weren't there)

    Was a lot busier than last year so with continued support can only get better.

    Its not Motorcycle Live or EIMCA and doesn't pretend to be...............
