Wise words, copied and pasted, courtesy of SV_Muppet:

If you're going to the NEC next month by car, don't queue up to get into the NEC parking area, head onto the A45 towards Birmingham and follow the signs for Birmingham International Railway Station:

1) You'll end up parked right by the building (usually within 100 yds ish) so if the weather's crap you won't have to walk far outside.

2) You'll be warm and dry walking through the corridors to the show.

3) The station has car park ticket machines and you won't have to wait in a big queue.

4) It's £1 cheaper to park so you can spend an extra pound in the show on goodies.

5) You get to clown around on the moving walkways.

But don't tell everybody!

Exhibitions are, basically, rubbish. If you want to swing a leg over a potential next-bike, go to a dealer. If you're looking for a cheap lid or something, then a bike show makes sense if you factor in the cost of travel & entry. But basically, they're a bit pants.

So, umm, that'll be a no then.
