Well it was the biggest show to date this one just keeps getting bigger and better . Our stand was very nice even with no electricity i think we made a good show of it the inverters and betters just about doing a minimal job for most of the 2 days . Id like to thank all that participated in the show greatly it was good meet some new faces and see some new bikes as always we like as many new bikes at the shows as possible to give new people a chance. Bikers on our stand won 3 trophy's i think that was the best out of all clubs displays . Bimota won best club stand and so they should have the members put in a lot of efort in getting 40 Bikes to the show and that could not have been a eazy job . I forgot my camera but hopefully some one will come along and post what they took . Again a big thanks to every one who came many many thanks for your time and effort in participating and helping ether with the set up or take down at the end of the day, i cant say in enough Thanks .

Manchester Bike Show Pictures.......because Norbo 'forgot' his camera, wallet etc etc etc And the winners are......well done, Phill, Lance and Norbo (yes Norbo!) All class winners !! Stand before the public got in ! Before the public Before the public Lance's 350 'Common-as-muck' Kenny Roberts Replica.....looks familiar! oh and Lance's RD400F in background Norbo's much admired KH Dave Smith's Very original 350 got a lot of attention....probably because it's SO standard !.....well standard(ish) Dave slept in his van outside the ground and braved sub-zero temperatures to show his bike, now that's dedication and yes, even Norbo braved sleeping in his own van too ! Stand showing the crowds I think this is what they call the 'admiring public' ahhh bless ! Norbo's award winning TZR, yes you read it right...award winning......he wasn't even going to bring this and still won! Now this 'should' have won and award, Dave's very beautiful Athena based 350, picture is somewhat spoilt by two suspicious characters hanging around at the time...!

I like Lance's 350 that looks well smart, understated but extremely effective. Good pics and looks like a good show, will have to try and make it next year. Rich

Extremely kind words Norbo re the BimotaForum club stand....but then I wouldn't expect anything less of you TBH......Apologies for the 8x ticket mix up....with all the chaos I think my brain had a memory sweep at least twice during the weekend...I hope you enjoyed your Costco Pizzas...lucky to get them in...one of the Blockhead security guards was forcing queuing punters to eat carried food prior to entry, or Throw it away...including one poor lady with a 24x box of Krispy Kremes...Hhmmm...Donuts..... Congrats on your 3 awards...your best ever sweep at this show?? For which bikes/classes?...This was our best year also with one First and one runner up....Hhmm....So you win...ratio, percentage, total etc etc....congrats..... Picture of our award....Best of luck for future years, as it was our last showing....

The Forums "RDLC" Crazy...yet your stand is "UK 2-Strokes".....would a Bone Stock Standard 1999 DT125R with 4500miles on the clock also qualify??? I've bought it for my 15 year old son to work on, fettle, finish, maintain, service and learn to ride, to encourage him to do well in school...and come the age of 17 if he's tried his best, then its his...and if not...I sell it from under him? Its even still got the Front disc guard cover, original indicators, mirrors, handguards and rear plate hanger and not cut down in any way.. I even found this lurking under the RHS side panel....bag was dirty, but tools untouched and never out of the bag....

Yes that DT would be most welcome at shows if its a 2 stroke its Ok to bring .
UK 2 Strokes is different to the site . the site is my site but UK 2 strokes is the club hear and what we show under .
