Fantastic weather, 7 manufacturers represented, over 60,000 people in attendance - our first show for the bmf was a huge SUCCESS!
With over 300 trade stalls the show attracted clubs, motorcyclists in their thousands and plenty of day visitors all of whom enjoyed Europe's largest outdoor motorcycle event.
Arena entertainment included stunning action from the Stannage international stunt team, two wheel skill from Jason Smyth, the madness of Moped enduro and short track racing.
"We have been working very hard for this event"....said Martin Chick, Managing Director of The Mulberry Group, "and to see it all coming together and to get so many positive comments I think we've started to lay the foundations which will see the shows getting back to where they were a few years ago". " The Mulberry team did a fantastic job and my thanks go to everyone involved together with the 100's of bmf member volunteers without whose help the event just couldn't have happened"
For those people who chose to camp over the weekend we provided some great music in the form of Stingray, Trash Monkey, the ever popular Hooker and headline acts Boot Led-Zeppelin and Killer Queen.
This is the first show in a four show season and lessons learnt will ensure that
each show will get progressively better. BMW, Susuki and Kawasaki offered test rides and Norton managed to sell 4 bikes during the weekend.
There was a prize draw raffle which saw one lucky man win a brand new Honda CB1000R motorcycle and we also ran a competition for those who joined the bmf over the weekend of the show to win a signed, replica Agostini helmet.
The next show is over the weekend of 12/13 June at the Kent County showground, Detling, Nr Maidstone.
