Is this the start of the finish for the NEC

[Foey]

So Honda have now officially announced that they will not be attending the NEC bike show this year due to the current financial climate + other plans, could this spark off a number of manufacturers or other companies pulling out also & will it spell the end for the NEC bike show.

Nah. It just gives everyone else more opportunity to flog/advertise/promote their wares surely.
