Anybody know if there will be anything worth seeing at this?
NI Motorcycle Festival, King's Hall Belfast 13 - 15 Feb
- Thread starter shuck raider
- Start date
Going by previous years, probably nothing more than you'd see in a good shop Arthur, but sure if you didn't go you'd only be thinking that you missed something. 
Aye, well, I'll risk a tenner and have a butchers'. Found a quote in that well-known organ of truth and democracy 'The Coleraine Times':
"Billy Nutt said: "For the 2009 festival we are pleased with the response we are having from the manufacturers and dealers to date.
"All but one have agreed to be at our festival with their 2009 models on display, which in the present economic climate shows how important the festival is to the motorcycle trade."
Any bets on who that might be

It's us that aren't going to be at the show this year Arthur (Hurst BMW). Reason being that as long as all goes to plan we'll be doing something later on in the year instead.

For the only BMW dealer in the province it is disgraceful that they can't/don't make the efoort to be there, but they expect us to buy their bikes. Shame on you Hursts.

Sorry, but I don't blame Hursts for this, I blame BMW UK. It's they who don't support the show in this wee country, because it's just a relatively small local show. If you want to go to a proper show, visit the NEC or Milan etc.
My view of Hursts is pretty well known at this stage, but I'd say that's probably the reason alright Davy. The number of bike sales here most likely wouldn't justify the expense of it all in good times let alone in the present financial situation.
Sure, with all the money they save they could donate a good raffle prize for Kesh.

I think the best thing to do as regards going to the show, is to ride to the Kings Hall and have a good look around the parking area. Its free, as long as you walk in, and will have more bikes than the show inside!
