Stafford bike show

<< < (2/3) > >>

Tomb:
I used to show a bike on a national club stand, the best bargains are to be had on Friday night when setting up. ;)

Thanks for the info I will see if my pal is up for it it will make for a good day out as most people worked out my question was was it worthwhile and not all full of British bikes although I don't mind looking at them but would not be worth the drive if there were very little jap stuff but I so have an H1 and a Gt 750 so will be worth a go.

The list of private and club bikes on display is in this month's free Motorcycle Monthly.  That'll give you some idea of what's on show. No trader list unfortunately.

the vjmc stand are there not as big as September show +1 on d silvers out side there is on all fours but the chap who runs it is a bit grumpy

Laverda Dave:
I agree with Roy, go straight to the DS stand first because it gets packed within a couple of hours. Do the main hall first whilst it's reasonably empty. The all fours guy is more expensive than DS (I bought a 400 loom from him only to find DS was £25 cheaper!)
Personally I no longer bother with this or the October show because it is just too busy. OK if you are on a bike but then you can't buy anything big or heavy, driving a car is a nightmare, it took me nearly 2 hours to drive the final 3 miles and park a couple of years ago and that was at 9am.
As most people have already said, there are not many bargains and a lot of tat, good for cheap tools though.
If you have never been it's worth going, the club stands have some great bikes on show, the Laverda stand had the V6 on display and started it up in the paddock area, that personally made my day (apologies for the Italian reference everyone  :))
