Re: MCN Show
Yes, the Toy Fair looked pretty good. The MCN show was erm, well it was OK, at least it was quiet so you could sit on the bikes. I got a ticket for £1 and I thought it was value for money

Re: MCN Show
Went today. The Carol Nash Arena was really good fun - especially with the ?1 ticket.
Loved the Ducati Hypermotard, and the BMW F800..... as well as the MV's Got a bargain Shoei Helmet for GF for ?80.- Only available in Small sizes though - tiny stand at back of hall. Was empty today, so great for chatting to manufacturers - the Cops on the Bikesafe stand were really good to chat to as well - showed of their new FZR's (and complained about problems with the Pan Euro's they replace) - Signed up for one of their rides with a mate, as they seem very sensible Great for a quid |

Re: MCN Show
I thought the show was too small, much smaller than the NEC. The stunt show was very good though !

Re: MCN Show
I got the £1 ticket from MCN - but they are all gone now, The telegraph had a promo with Carol Nash where you go free tickets via telegraph.co.uk/promotions follow the link, click book tickets and enter code: LMS999F. This was taken from the paper that was being given out at the show.
I have no idea if this is still available. Hope that helps someone |
