The BMF show at Peterborough. (I think it's the largest show in Europe!)

It's at the East of England show ground at Peterborough (A1/A605 junction) and is worth a visit. Saturday for the bargins but weather looks better on Sunday.

Thanks David. Is there a specific website? I've googled it but some crap comes up suggesting its on 21st and 22nd May only!

Cheers.

I've been a couple of times. Lots of serious bargains to be had

[chilli]

Good stuff. Would it be similar to the NEC and Ally Pally shows.....Shed loads of stands selling plenty of leathers etc??!!

[r1_jon]

Yes but much much better for leathers and stuff. Well worth a visit to get some kit.

Saturday, of course. GP on Sunday!

I'll be there too (with family), probably on Sunday. (I’m on the bike but family in the car. – Great to have a way to get those purchases home!)

Some advice if you're going:

1. Take something to put under the stand of your bike, the bike park is a grass field and if it’s been wet then it’s all too easy for the stand to sink in.
2. Check the bike next to you has something under the stand as you don’t want it falling onto your bike.
3. Remember where you left your bike. Finding it as one out of about 30,000 bikes can be a pain!
4. Use the helmet park for helmets, boots etc. Last time I went (a couple of years ago) the scouts charged 50p per item for a pretty safe storage area.
5. Take something to eat and drink as buying stuff on site tends to require a second mortgage!

Don't forget Bikefest at Donny towards the end of May.

Might even spend a few quid for a couple of laps whilst I'm there.

I wonder how many other forums there are where a man can ask another man that question without grinning?

Afternoon all,



Been away for a while!!

Yes...leathers sorted cheers. Bought a new Arlen Ness suit off ebay. The jacket is quite tight, but I've been told it will give quite a bit. Haven't tried the trousers on yet!
