National Bike Show 08

Does anyone know if it's happening? I looked on the site and all it said was something about how 07 was a success(?) and how 08 will be bigger and better and see you in 08.

So i would presume it is happening but then why has the site not changed if it's usually in april and it's nearly march?

To be honest, last year's wasn't the proper Bike show. It was something hashed together by the Nass organisers and wasn't particularly great... I heard rumours that this year would spark the return of the "proper" Bike Show and all would be well but I can't find anything out about it.

I wouldn't class '07 as a success... If it looks to be the same as last year, I'm not going to go.

I dunno, last year had it's perks. It was more of a social event than anything serious, just spent a lot of time hanging out, chatting and having a laugh really... Can't complain for free.

But yeah, if I'd been a paying member of the public then I'd have to say no. They charged £20 on the door wasn't it? I remember even the REAL bike show being cheaper.

I think Cycle is excellent for new kit etc, when I went to the Bike Show the year before they dropped it it sucked big time, the venue was crap, half of it was just a massive market and the demos took place in a cow shed so they ran out of space to do any decent tricks.

However, if they do one this year I'll probably go for the sake of being able to get some decent shots hopefully.

I actually really enjoyed the bike show at Stoneleigh. It was definitely better than last years even if it was in a confined space.
