    BMF Show organisers The Mulberry Group have announced improvements and a larger Classic & Vintage area for the 2014 May Show at the Peterborough Arena.

    At this year’s May show, the Classic & Vintage was launched and after reviewing the very positive feed-back from show attendees it will return and it will be bigger with a completely new area – The Fire-it-Up zone.

    Mulberry’s MD Martin Chick said “After discussing the initial set-up for May this year a lot of people told us that they would love to hear, not only see the machines on display – so we have responded and set up a temporary arena immediately outside the Atrium which houses the Classic & Vintage exhibitors to be known as the Fire-it-Up zone”

    “Exhibitors will be able to ride their bikes around or merely fire them up so the sounds of some amazing machines can be heard, by some, possibly for the first time!”

    A full list of those exhibiting will soon be populating the BMF shows web pages www.thebmfshow.co.uk (follow the links to the Classic & Vintage area).

    The BMF May show runs at the Peterborough Arena 16-18 May 2014. Advance tickets now on sale www.thebmfshow.co.uk or via the hotline: 0844 8845151
