SHOWS

Manchester Bike Show – 24-25th March

A boon for those bikers in the North West, the Manchester Bike Show has started to become a destination for those who want one last show to attend before the biking year begins. About the size of four football pitches, most manufacturers will be attending, plus lots of clothing folk and a plethora of cool, sexy motorcycles to drool over. www.manchesterbikeshow.com

The 38th Carole Nash International Classic MotorCycle Show – 21-22nd April

A cracking show with daft amounts of classic bikes at the Staffordshire County Showground, be that road or race, in attendance for all to enjoy. There are several halls filled with stuff to see, examine and plenty of trade areas including outdoor areas, too. You can usually expect many famous racers of yesteryear to show up as well as lots of other surprises and things to do – a superb show to attend especially if you like the older stuff or are a racing history buff. www.classicbikeshows.com
