Manchester Bike Show.

Post by chippie »

Went to the show on Saturday.

Honda [No Integra or Silverwing]
Yamaha [No 530 Tmax]
Aprila [ No GP 800 sorry SRV850]
Suzuki [one 2011 1k discount if you bought it on the day]
BMW [no scooters]

I think that just about sums up the scooter industry in this country.

Mok my speeling and ll'i hnt youo dwon adn suhve a dcshunayr pu yuor asre.

About the only thing that I fancied were some Jeans made by John Doe real quality but at
£220 a pair I think I'll givem a miss.

I've never heard of anyone with a good word to say about that show.
I like the irony that they moved the date from early January, presumably expecting better weather, and they got some of the worse weather of the winter! Someone's trying to tell them something..........

And so they where as where many more independent exhibitors and bike clubs
who all in all put on a good show. Most of the stalls where selling the usual chinese shite
but there where some bargains to be had on other stalls.
The big boys did have some fine machines to look at [sorry no pics as someone decided
to borrow my camera without telling me] but it was the lack of scooters that
spoilt it for me.
Would I go again ? Well it's 15mins from where I live, free parking, £15 to get in that I
covered with the bits and bobs I bought so the answers yes.

Not too bad a show overall and lots of nice old bikes. It's a lot nearer than NEC and a lot cheaper (free parking) so it gets my vote !
