2014 INTERNATIONAL DIRT BIKE SHOW
The UK’s only dedicated off-road show (Thursday 30th October–Sunday 2nd November 2014, Stoneleigh Park, Warwickshire), which also just happens to be the largest in Europe, is on track to be a cracker this year with four actionpacked days of dirt-biking product launches, entertainment and have-a-go activities as well as bargains galore.
Early indications are that this year’s event will topple previous years in terms of visitor attractions, value for money and the range of goods on display and at the time of this issue going to print, news is that most of the trials manufacturers will be in attendance.
On the trials front, Beta, Sherco, Gas Gas, Oset and Mecatecno are already signed up and the organiser is hoping to get a full complement of exhibits from the ‘master’ discipline to complete the Trials Zone in hall three. Spread throughout the rest of the Stoneleigh Park halls you’ll find KTM, Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki, Husqvarna and Suzuki.
There’ll also be the opportunity to have a go on a variety of machines. Youth riders will have the opportunity to try out the Oset and Mecatecno electric trials machines or enjoy learning to ride with the ‘My First Honda’ crew. Show-goers aged 16 and over can first watch the Inch Perfect Trials Display Team performing jaw-dropping tricks, jumps and seemingly impossible manoeuvres and then go on to experience riding trials machines for themselves over a series of obstacles under the expert guidance of the team instructors. Here too visitors can watch the ‘Owd Codgers’ on classic trials machines or check out a little flat-out oval track sliding from multi-bike disciplines.
The official International Dirt Bike Show ‘App’ is the bang-upto-the-minute way for busy on the go motorcycle enthusiasts to obtain the latest Show news and updates. Available for Apple and Android users, it can be downloaded completely free of charge at www.dirtbikeshow.co.uk.
All this from just £6 for adults visiting on the opening day and buying in advance and free for accompanied children aged ten and under!
