bmf: Show goes large!

Wednesday, 17 March 2010 12:00 AM

The bmf show, Europe's largest outdoor motorcycle show, is the traditional season-opener for thousands of motorcyclists, and this, the 50th anniversary year, promises to open in style with brand new features and new attractions!

Visitors to Peterborough's East of England Showground bmf venue will find not only hundreds of trade stalls covering all aspects of motorcycling, but BMW, flying high with their stunning S1000R, will also have their test fleet on site for demo rides. Not to be outdone, Triumph will have their full range of bikes and clothing on display while big names such as George White, Hein Gericke, Frank Thomas, Oxford Products, Arai, Biker's World are already signed up.

For those who find bmf bargains too good to miss, new for this year (and a first for any bike show), will be an on-site 'Wrap it and Despatch it' service run by national courier company APC. No longer will riders have to laden their bikes (or even take a car) because now APC can wrap and despatch goods and guarantee to deliver to home addresses within 48 hours of the show finishing!

Meanwhile arena entertainment over the weekend features a stunning line up of performances from Jason Smyth - The Adrenalin Tour, The Stanage International stunt display team and of course, old favourites the madness that is Moped Enduro and the thrills of Short Track racing.

For those camping on site, the evening entertainment couldn't be better with the well known 'Smacked Arse Comedy Club' appearing for the first time, plus, live music from Stingray, Trash Monkey, Hooker and headline acts, Boot Led-Zeppelin and Killer Queen.

As a reward to bmf members, they get special VIP treatment with reduced admission, a new 'Fast Track' entrance, a 'members only' area with its own refreshment facilities and discount vouchers for use at the show.
