I rode today with my daughter and her soon to be husband to the Excel centre. The signage for parking was useless, as always, with the usual parking Muppets telling you " no ticket, no bike " and then the actual event itself is a total waste of time.
Far fewer exhibitors; Honda were missing. Nothing exciting at all. Sadly most of the bikes are clones of each other.
Far fewer vendors and so, at a stretch, an hour or two and you're done.
The sprints were so so, usual suspects riding.
One thing that did surprise me was the Indian FTR. Much smaller than I expected.
Won't bother next year.

You all ought to try a N.Irish bike show for perspective.
I had free tickets this year and it wasn't worth using them.

Re: MCN live 2023
We went yesterday. Very disappointing. The fact that the drag strip was in the main hall just shows how much floor space they weren't able to sell.Buckaroo wrote: ↑Sun Feb 19, 2023 12:00 am I rode today with my daughter and her soon to be husband to the Excel centre.
