NEC Motorcycle Live

[Aztec]

Well....i went to the motorcycle live show at the nec and i went on the bike as i refuse to pay the silly car parking prices,luckily i had managed to blag an exhibitor invitation ticket, when i got to the free bike park it all started to dawn on me just how far i had to walk to get to the event, however i was feeling fine and managed to get there with only one stop to get my breath back, i managed to see about 2 thirds of it after several stops for breath and really enjoyed it and i saw the bits i was interested in (Triumph, BMW, Can am etc) they even had a large track to test out electric bikes and surprisingly no queues to try them out, in fact i only saw about 8 people on them and probably 30 ish bikes to try.

Overall it was a good day out, i may even go again next year but i will more than likely hire one of their mobility scooters to get around.

Last time I went I took my car, in case I bought anything big. £12 to park, a mile to walk to get in, £25 for a ticket and program, a then a snack and coffee etc, all added up to about £50 for the pleasure of walking around a large bike showroom. There were a couple of interesting stands but I generally found it pretty bland and uninteresting.

Yeah those are some of the very reasons I go on the bike, free parking short indoor stroll onto the skywalk and not able to buy anything large (keeps the wife happy) and when you throw in a free ticket it's win win.

Totally agree.

When you look at other shows that are put on there, the parking and entry cost of Motorcycle Live is daylight robbery!
