Embrace the Atmosphere
Motorcycle Live in association with Bikesure Insurance is looking forward to welcoming back visitors to The NEC, Birmingham from Saturday 4- Sunday 12 December. The nine day spectacular will be bursting with manufacturers, brand new models, opportunities to ride, and stacks of entertainment.
The Black Horse Stage will be hosted each day by James Whitham and Steve Parrish. The pair of world-renowned racers will interview a host of former and current MotoGP, SBK, BSB and TT stars, so be sure to keep an eye on their schedules here. Each day the Visordown Question of Bikes will see some friendly rivalry between riders as the teams, captained by James Whitham and Niall Mackenzie, compete for the coveted title of 'champion'.
In addition, the stage will be jam packed with games, including the R & G Wheel Change Challenge - perfect for those visitors wanting to tackle a more hands on challenge, Mega Motorcycles hosting the fan favourite memory game, and Biketrac bringing the 'Stronger for Longer' game, which will delight many fans.
For visitors looking to relax and soak up the atmosphere, there's the MCN Road Test Cinema, bars and catering areas. What could be better than immersing yourself with friends, family, bikes and entertainment?
Finlay McAllan (Managing Director, Motorcycle Live) said: “With only a few weeks left until Motorcycle Live opens its doors to visitors, the atmosphere is building to an all time high. The four halls of the NEC will be packed with adrenaline fuelled shows, interactive talks from riders and celebrities, and of course the energy and passion of our visitors. We're excited to once again stage the biggest and best motorcycle show in the UK."

Motorcycle Live in association with Bikesure Insurance is looking forward to welcoming back visitors to The NEC, Birmingham from Saturday 4- Sunday 12 December. Many manufacturers are eager to display their new product portfolio demonstrating the innovative technology and commitment to building electric powered motorcycles. If getting up close to new products appeals to you, then don't miss out on a brand new feature at Motorcycle Live - the Electric Test Ride Zone.
For visitors looking to electrify their ride, with their first ever electric motorcycle purchase, or even looking for an upgrade for the 2022 riding season, the Electric Test Ride Zone is the perfect destination. An array of models will be available to test ride indoors, so visitors can get a real feel for the power and responsiveness of how an electric motorcycle rides and handles.
Why not take the opportunity to speak with product experts on their stands, who will be on hand to answer any questions you may have about the realities, possibilities and benefits of riding an electric scooter/motorcycle.
Finlay McAllan (Managing Director, Motorcycle Live) said: “It's fantastic to see Motorcycle Live be home to a brand new feature, and this shows our commitment to ensuring we provide relevant content and entertainment for our visitors. Not only will some of the large manufacturers be showcasing their electric range and their vision of future mobility; it's great to see start-up companies display their solution to providing affordable, electric transport for the masses"

A nine-time British Enduro Championship winner, plus one of the scene’s biggest characters, means the upcoming Classic Dirt Bike Show sponsored by Hagon Shocks returns with a bang after its Covid-enforced break.
Returning to the Telford International Centre over the weekend of February 12-13, the event will once again draw in the biggest names from the off-road scene with two off-road legends being confirmed as the guests of honour.
Eldest son of Pete (manufacturer of Dalesmans in the 1960s) and elder brother to multi Enduro world champion Paul, Derrick Edmondson is a nine-time class winner of the British Enduro Championship, BBC TV Kickstart trials rider, plus mechanic/mentor to two of the world’s greatest trials riders. Derrick will be interviewed throughout the weekend as the commentator delves into his career.
There’s perhaps no bigger character in the off-road scene than Arthur Browning, who has also been confirmed as a star guest for the show. Tall in the saddle and big with the stories, Arthur has done it all: One of the all-time great Enduro riders (nine golds over a 16-year span), a top-flight scrambler, a professional speedway rider for nine years, a British championship grass tracker and a pretty good trials rider who once got runner-up in a world championship round. Arthur will also be on stage over the weekend sharing his classic tales during his extensive career.
