Motor Cycle Monthly
Hello from the Editor of MCM Time for a show
As we start looking into the autumn, our attention turns to the crowning of champions in our sport or new models appearing at the myriad of shows in Birmingham and further afield in Europe and Japan.
And so it is with this month’s issue of the world’s largest motorcycle monthly publication. Not only do we have spy shots and secret designs exposed for the first time, we’re also getting excited about the miles we’re riding on bikes like Ducati’s bonkers and brilliant Diavel 1260S.
The fun doesn’t stop there, either. Have you seen what we’re giving away as a prize for completing our Crossword this month? Yep, tickets to Motorcycle Live at the NEC. If you’ve not been to the big show in Birmingham November 16-24, then make this year the year that you do.
If you’re not lucky enough to win then make sure you take advantage of the ‘Get your non-biking mate in for free’ promotion that the Motorcycle Live bosses are running this year. You’ll find details of that on the news pages of MCM this issue. Grab these other free tickets quickly though. There’s 1000 to give away and they won’t be around for long.
Of course, before we get all the way into November we’ve got the UK’s biggest and best motorcycle show going on at Stafford next month. The Carole Nash Classic Motorcycle Mechanics Show happens on October 19-20 and it should be an absolute must if you like motorcycles and motorcycling.
‘‘ I t’s an absolute mus t if you like motorcycles.
The Staffordshire County Showground hosts the massive show with over 900 traders, action throughout the weekend and brilliant motorcycles from the 1970s, 80s and 90s. There’s race bikes started up in the Parc Ferme section, rare memorabilia to buy, the brilliant Bonhams autumn sale and tonnes of things to keep motorcycle fans of all ages happy and busy. It’s one of the great times out on a motorcycle in the UK. And it’s just around the corner. Take the free show guide in this issue of MCM, plan your route and we’ll see you there.
