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)

As this type of event tends to get somewhat crowded at weekends, the initial proposal is to organize this trip during the week. However, this will be subject to whether most potential participants would be able to accommodate a weekday visit. Initially then we would like to gauge interest from Members, on a non-committal basis. If you are, in principle, interested in participating in this outing please email Keith Tremeer (who has offered to organize and lead the trip), indicating if you would be willing/able to participate on a weekday (Monday through Friday), or whether you could only participate on a Saturday or Sunday. Please let Keith know ASAP, but in any case no later than 31st October. Depending on the level of interest shown, Keith will then be in touch regarding next steps

Admittedly, not everyone rides through the winter months, and for that reason some of you might consider it more comfortable to organize this outing as a coach trip. But we are all, after all, advanced motorcyclists, and should be able to cope with cold weather, a little drizzle and, if necessary, riding after sunset. Also, as tickets are valid for any day of the show, we could have the flexibility of choosing, closer to the event, the best day of the week in terms of weather. Or, alternatively, by purchasing ticket protection insurance, you will be protected under most adverse scenarios
