If you go on your bike there is free secure parking inside hall 5 and secure helmet storage. I left all my riding gear on my bike and walked into the show. A very civilised arrangement
They only started doing that because there were hundreds of bikes being robbed from the car parks a few years back. Now if your wrist band and the bikes dont match the police are there before you can get off the bike.

never fails to amaze me why people keep going back every year.
just the same dull rubbish. bikes designed on an "etch o sketch" by a 16 year old. with no imagination.
bad expensive food and drink. they even make you pay to use the cash machines. you can get better deals on-line without the sore feet, sweat and inevitable disappointment.
Oh hang on... I might be getting confused with cadbury world
It was my first time at the show for nearly 20 years (When car drivers were parked nearer to the halls than bikes were) I was up in Brum for the Night out at the Dogs (Great night) and was given two tickets for the show. Even with a free ticket I wouldn't go again.
As Bill said in a post the Classic shows are much better. Yes you still get the same club stands showing a lot of the bikes at all the shows but you have the Auto Jumble area, Just seeing that small part reminds you of a bike you had years ago and all the memory's come flooding back some not as good as others due to the road-rash from the part you had left on the floor and not knowing where it goes until its too late lol .
