£30K custom bobber up for grabs at NEC Bike Show
The Carole Nash Hawg Haven Old Skool Bobber will be returning to its birthplace at the NEC in Birmingham this year where one lucky Carole Nash customer will be riding the £30,000 custom bike from the 2009 Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.
Built against the clock by a four strong team at last year’s Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show, the Hawg Haven Old Skool Bobber will be given away to one lucky Carole Nash bike insurance customer. The bike’s specification features a rigid frame with a 38 degree rake, housing an impressive Revtech 88ci, 1450cc polished motor and Mikuni five-speed Revtech gearbox. Anticipation will reach fever pitch on the Carole Nash stand with every biker securing a quote from the company before 31st October 2009 pooled into the free draw to win a chance to own this truly unique bike.The 2009 Show is also set to stage for the third successive year, the ever-popular Britain’s Got Biking Talent with Carole Nash, the biggest competition in which biker’s themselves vote for the nation’s finest bikes.
Adjudicated with the help of some 20,000 votes cast via the special Britain’s Got Biking Talent website , the shortlist of 60 bikes will be scrutinised by a celebrity-filled expert panel including comic Ross Noble, Hairy Biker Si King, motorbiking adventurer Nick Sanders and MCN editor Marc Potter. Competition is expected to be fierce, demonstrated by a 15% hike in entries this year coupled with a prize offering including an all-expenses-paid VIP trip to a European MotoGP, a trip to the French Battlefields with MCI Tours and inclusion in the Carole Nash 2010 Calendar.
Rebecca Donohue, Head of Marketing at Carole Nash, commented: “The 2009 Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show is a fitting platform to give away this customised bike, having been constructed in 2008 at the NEC in front of 134,000 bikers. If the level of interest shown last year about the mechanics of the bike and the art of bike building is anything to go by, we are sure this prize draw, combined with the finale of the Britain’s Got Biking Talent competition will make the Carole Nash stand a cornerstone of the 2009 Show”.
Finlay McAllan, Managing Director of MCI Exhibitions, said, “The Carole Nash stand is always a focal point of the Show and this year promises to be no different. Carole Nash’s vision complements our own which is to engage with every visitor be it via the range of interactive features such as Off Road Experience area and A Question of Bikes or by their own initiatives such as the spectacular Old Skool Bobber prize competition and Britain’s Got Biking Talent.”
The 2009 Carole Nash International Motorcycle and Scooter Show is the ultimate shop window for an incredible selection of bikes, accessories and components, as well as offering a range of truly interactive features, all of which will demonstrate to visitors of all ages what the industry has to offer. Those looking forward to Preview Day can take advantage of the £28 entry fee, which includes all the interactive features free of charge. For the remainder of the Show adults looking to book in advance will once again receive savings on the on the door price.
