Anyone heard anything about the manchester motorcycle show lately?? I believe this years was cancelled due to the snow in January but was re run in april?? Someone at work was asking about it today but tbh i've not heard anything about it. Had a quick look on the net and nothing jumped out. Anyone else know anything about it?

The two times I've been there is has been rubbish, it was more enjoyable meeting the Lancs BCF group than anything which was actually there. I suppose you could go toil for a day for Bab's to get a free day pass though.

I thought it was rubbish too. I went to the sheffield show, (run by the same firm) and that was also rubbish, but with a yorkshire accent.
Bloke at work loves it though. I presume he doesn't get out much, and he's keen to go again as he want to stock up on out of date bike tees....

As said you should come to a BCF north meet one day. The comeraderie and comical stories are well worth it.

I hope it's not on, then Skudd's attempts at keeping it going for the sake of it will have been a waste of time Laughing

It's a shockingly bad show that is grossly overpriced and it needs to be scrapped.

Well my mate usually trades at it and stays here and/or gets me to go and work for her and I've heard nothing from her yet.

Just sent a text now to see if she knows anything, will let you know when I hear back.

I went in 200? was ok, but abit cramped.
Lets face it, most bike shows can be abit meh especially after the 7th or ??th time.
I'll go to any show but i do like to get close and have a sit on some.

BSB at Oulton was like a bike show. Stalls, Honda,Yam,Duc,BMW exhibiting. £15 with free parking and some noisey stuff going on.

In short. I'd go to the M/cr show again.
