+1

Only ever been to the NEC, despite the MCN show being much, much closer.

Are all the big manufacturers there? Do they let you sit on bikes? And bike gear deals, good, bad?

It's ok, and generally worth going, I wouldn't ride for 2 hours to get there mind, I only go because it is local.

Same. I only go becuase its local.

You can sit on bikes but as I'd never buy a brand new bike, its all a bit lost on me.

The classic bike finalists are there which usually look pukka.

For me, it just marks the start of the "getting lighter longer" season, so I tend to bezz up for the full day.

I was never in to trials but Dougie Lampkin used to rule the trials pages of TMX when I was a kid so would be cool to see him.
