Tango Posted January 12, 2013 Share Posted January 12, 2013 Just putting this date up here for all that may be interested. BMF Show at Peterborough Showground Friday 17th to Sunday 19th May 2013.Not sure what we are doing yet as the Tailender was a bit of a disappointment....but we normally camp on the Friday & Saturday nights so we can make full use of the beer and entertainment.If anyone is going and wants to arrange a meetup then stick it on here...... Anyone who is new to biking and hasn't heard of this event.....it's probably one of the best places to get cheap bike gear there is....plus bikey entertainment and live bands and beer in the evenings if you stay.....

BikerMooFromMars Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Will consider camping as hubby may have done his CBT by then, but I'll defo go at least 1 day. I went on Sun last yr 1 month after passing CBT, bought a sh*t tonne VERY cheap: armoured jacket & trousers, awesome saddle bags, tool roll, 2nd hand boots - all came to £105, and a helmet £115. Highly recommend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benn Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 This sounds mighty good but a bit far to take my bike..? 170 miles each way? Hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitedevil Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Me an the mrs will be there, not sure what day yet tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uk190 Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 i'll be there with adam (ninja84) not sure what day but probably the saturday. shall we all meet up and have a pimms in the sunshine? might be a chance for those who have not made the rutland meets or the annual TMBF rally to meet fellow members.benn. 170 miles isnt far on a bike. not even for a 125 as you can still do motorway speeds. just bare in mind that if you do what a lot of folks do and buy leathers, helmets, water proofs and boots then youll look like a sherpa on the ride home Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to buy some soft panniers and some new gloves and a warmer jacket, so I'll just bring a massive camping rucksack.

BikerMooFromMars Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 I got a shed load of gear last year, I can't wait to go again! So what's the day most people can go? I went Sun last yr and got good deals as it was the last day, but don't really mind too much whether we go Sat or Sun. And yay, Ollie can come this time as he wasn't biking back then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted April 21, 2013 Author Share Posted April 21, 2013 I think most of the guys tend to head there for the Sunday Moo.....but I think we'll be camping again (hopefully)....so we'll be there both days...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted April 21, 2013 Share Posted April 21, 2013 Just notice the dates of this as Nman asked if we was going I will be in germany on the bike at those dates but I dont go to these as they have all gone down hill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolios, we will likely head down for Sunday too.Stu - EAB Steve says the same, and entry fee is pretty expensive tbh, but Moo was chuffed with bargains last yr so money well spent for me . Tho I'm sure in a few years when we have most of the kit we want will be less interested! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 Next Weekend folks....... Was looking at the website yesterday for ticket prices......camping for the weekend is £42 each......but if you buy in advance it's £36......but then there's a £3 booking fee each.....so booking in advance will save the princely sum of £3 each.......and you run the risk that you're committed to go even if the weather is sh1t......hmmmm....not much incentive there I think..... Anyway....we plan to go and camp as we're mad like that......and shake the tent down ready for the Forum rally...... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tango Posted May 12, 2013 Author Share Posted May 12, 2013 tango, me and ohjay will be camping, heading down sometime friday..what time are you planning on getting there?Hi Cat......I'm working on Friday....but I think Mandy is gonna be off.....so I'll cruise in some time in the evening to find the tent pitched and cold beer ready..... Seriously though....Mandy is gonna get lumbered with getting the tent up there and pitching it if I can't get away from work early enough......I'll get Mandy to let you know what time she's planning on getting up there.....

littlecat Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 cool, we can always give her a hand mate, just need to swap numbers so she can find us..or vice versa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BikerMooFromMars Posted May 12, 2013 Share Posted May 12, 2013 Bah, it's not all as simple as I'd have hoped. I can't bike there - I keep panicking and having to pull over in Cambridge, let alone an arse-about-face long ride to Peterborough and back (can't do M roads) with whatever we buy. SO we'd have to get the train...£20 return, then a 15min cab journey from Peterborough station to Peterborough Arena (£15 at least cab), £25 to get in...I'm not sure if the travelling, time and expense is gonna be worth Wallie and I going. I've got an exam which I need to pass for work (gets me a pay rise & more responsibilities) in less than a few weeks too.Humph. Not sure what we'll do...looking unlikely sadly. Loved it last year, couldn't recommend it enough would've loved to see you all there too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
