Motorcycle Live 2022

19 – 27 November NEC, Birmingham

CAM is considering organizing a day trip to visit the 2022 MotorcycleLive show at the NEC, Birmingham. The proposal is to have a group ride from the Cambridge area (with a breakfast stop along the way), arriving at the NEC just before midday with participants then free to browse the show at their leisure. A group return will be scheduled to leave the NEC at around 4pm, but participants will be at liberty to return independently if they prefer

Tickets for any day of the show, if bought in advance, cost £22 each online. If we can get a group of 10 or more participants, tickets are available for £19.80 each. In all cases a £2 ordering fee applies to each order. Ticket protection insurance is also available (which covers, among other things, illness and adverse weather conditions) for £3.25 per ticket. If you leave it to buy your ticket on the day at the NEC, it will cost £27. Motorcycle parking at the NEC is free (and in a covered area)
