Bike shows

Hi does anyone know when the next decent Bike show will be? I remember going to one at Malvern about 5 years ago, can't remember when it was though - I want to buy lots of bargains!! I live in gloucestershire so within an 80 mile radius would be ideal. I've searched the web but I can only find classic stuff - do these shows have good clothing stands there?

Most of the weekend bike shows I have gone to recently seem to be nothing but clothes shows!!! As for the goods well it's from good value to utter "tat"

The majority of bling is better purchased online or direct from the store and as always the end of the day or 1st thing is when the bargains are to had.

Further upnorth my way the Auto jumbles are good fun.

Luckily " doun sarf " you have a few really good ( and big ) weekend jumbles fairly regularly so they are well catered for by the stall holders. Classics to Modern day catered for.

Look for rallies as well as a few there have side stalls etc

Plenty of online stuff available for dates etc.

Don't forget the Bristol Italian Auto Moto Festival coming up at the end of April aswell.

Stalls at GP/SBK weekends sometimes are a good source of clothing.

I've found the best place to purchase clothing is at theBMF, held at the east of england show ground in may.
Manufacturers like H/Gerike and F/Thomas have clearance sales, and i'm talking about marquees full of clothing.
