Hi there, just wondering if anyone has been or knows if it is any good please? I think it is this Saturday and I'm looking to buy some classic motorbike bits. Cheers!

Reasonable but depends on the weather as stalls are in and outdoors. Luck on the day really. I get what I need from there, much better in the warmer weather.

It`ll be busy tomorrow & the indoor stalls are all traders who`ll have repro stuff to suit British bikes.
Outside it`s a mix of tools, vans full of stuff which seem to be just about a garden shed full, lots of cleaning/polishing products, clapped out crossers, occasional nice old bikes. Lots of worn out tools, one bloke just sells green logbooks. Some good bargains in oils etc. My favourite buy is the blue roller towels for a couple of quid each - perfect wiping cloths.
I once saw the doors of a van open - it was full of heaps of rusted junk - looked like it had been in a pond for 10 years. Bloke next to me jumps in the van, heaves up some type of ancient motorycle engine - asks how much - hands over £500 and literally runs off with it....
PS - I don`t think the burger guy has changed his frying oil in the last 12 years, so I` stick with a cake.
PPs get there by 7am or you`ll queue for ever, and all the Brough Superiors will have gone.

Cheers guys, sounds like it's worth a trip. I can't get there so early though but I guess if all the Broughs are gone I'll be able to pick up a few cheap Vincents! I have worries of autojumbles being full of old boys who have cleared out their garages and instead of weighing in rusty old tools and bits of metal they've decided to exhibit it in the hope that bit they kept that might have been useful will prove useful to someone else who can identify one vital part amongst the sea of rust and swarf!
