The latest from the organisers of the Manchester Motorcycle Show;
Motorcycle fans from all over the North and North West are gearing up for the National Motorcycle Show, which is just weeks away.
The show will be at Manchester Central (formerly G-MEX) on the 4th, 5th and 6th January 2008. Visitors will be able to enjoy the usual array of quality exhibitors and exciting stunt displays from some of the country’s most skilled riders, including Ashley Mark who is making his Manchester debut at the show.
Also, back by popular demand are show favourites Russ Swift, who will be entertaining crowds again with his amazing skills on two and four wheels, and the Xtreme indoor trials display team, who will be performing their new action packed 2008 show.
Howard Cartledge, Show Director, said “We have got some great exhibitors and some really thrilling stunt displays lined up for the 2008 show. We are also introducing a new Road Safety feature. It is so important that the new generation of riders learn how to enjoy motorbikes safely so this is an excellent new addition to the event line up.”
The Road Safety Forum is being run by RideSafe BackSafe; in association with Lancashire Partnership for Road Safety and Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership. The forum will be promoting safe riding, particularly amongst young riders, and will include a ‘slow riding’ challenge to demonstrate skill and control.
Shelby Williams, Road Safety advisor from the Lancashire Constabulary, said, “Riding a scooter or motorbike is great fun, and offers a great way to get around, but unfortunately young riders are particularly vulnerable on our roads. Working with the National Motorcycle show is a fantastic opportunity for RideSafe BackSafe to promote safer riding skills and protective clothing. Watching the skills that the stunt riders and racers have will demonstrate it is not just about speed.”
Many of the region’s main dealers have also confirmed that they will be exhibiting at the show, including BMW, Honda, Triumph, Ducati, Suzuki and Kawasaki, with many new for 2008 bikes on display.
The combination of exhibition stands and incredible stunt displays is why The National Motorcycle Show has always been popular with motorcycle enthusiasts and families alike, and 2008’s event is on track to put on a very entertaining show.
