Who has been before?

Is it worth going?

I have been told that the BMF show is the best annual bike show in the UK with loads of kit, music and displays etc... Unfortunatly I didn't realise it was on this weekend. I have just found out...

I went to the website I couldn't find any info on what exhibitors will be there...

Yes, especially if you need any kit.

Just about everyone will be there including 75,000 visitors last year.

It is a great day out and pretty reasonably priced. There’s plenty going on in the main arena and lots of bands etc. around the side. The only down sides are that the onsite food prices are usually pretty steep (take some sandwiches) and the surrounding roads (A1, B645, A14, B660 etc.) tend to attract a fair bit of plod attention so watch your speed and keep both wheels on the tarmac.

Apologies if it's a stupid question but I haven't been before, can the traders take card payments or is it just cash?

Thanks

Some of the little ones might be cash only but the main ones will take cards.

Managed to get a £400+ two piece leather Belstaff Cybersuit for under £150 some years back, and the stand we were in 10 mins before the show closed decided he didn't want to take anything home with him and sold a table full of Nolan helmets for £10 each.

I was working up there on the BMF stand. Shame about the weather but there were some great bargains to be had.
