This is what an enthusiast had to say about the show:

"Just a quick mail to say thank you for putting a bike show on at a reasonable time of year, I wondered when somebody would wake up to the fact that us motorcyclists actually like going to these events on our bikes, the show at the NEC in Birmingham in the depths of winter is such a nonsense and the old Ally Pally show used to be hosted in late January, again an absolute nonesense !!! I will most certainly be paying a visit to your show, good job well done, commonsense at last !!!!!!"
