The UK’s No.1 Bike Festival

The latest news from the Carole Nash BMF Motorcycle Show is that even in tough economic times, the 2009 event still promises to the weekend for bikers of all generations.

With the latest bikes on display including Triumph, Harley Davidson, Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, BMW, Zing Bikes, Jinlunn the show is a great opportunity to see (and in some cases ride) the latest bikes on offer.

Carole Nash, the UK’s biggest motorcycle insurance specialist, has again shown its commitment to grassroots biking by sponsoring the show.  “We’re delighted to support the BMF’s work and in particular the Carole Nash BMF Motorcycle Show which is major highlight in the UK biking calendar,” commented Carole Nash head of marketing Rebecca Donohue.

“We’re also extremely proud that the Carole Nash name is so closely associated with such a prestigious and fantastically entertaining event.

“The BMF does sterling work in both campaigning on behalf of bikers and in bringing them together at events like this.”

The sponsorship deal, the latest in a series of agreements which have seen the insurance firm backing the BMF, will see Carole Nash helping boost visitor numbers by offering exclusive discounts on advance tickets for its customers as well as providing a host of giveaways and daily prize draws at the show itself.

Entertainment will once again be held in the new ‘Exec’ Hall with leading tribute ‘AB/CD’ heading on Friday performing AC/DC’s hits and ‘Maetloaf’ as headliners on the Saturday night, plus support.

The BMF Show is the biggest outdoor bike show in Europe and attracts more than 70,000 visitors to the East of England Showground on 16/17 May. As well as the enhanced entertainment the show also features new camping areas, tarmac secure bike park, clearer layout, more exhibitors, Wall of Death, manufacturers and dealers and much more.
