The 2018 Northern Ireland Motorcycle Festival (MotorcycleFest) ran at the Eikon Centre, Lisburn from Friday 2nd February 2018 – Sunday 4th February 2018. The event has been running at the Eikon Centre since 2016 and seems to be going from strength to strength.
So what’s it like?
This year I took myself over to Birmingham for what is meant to be one the best Motorcycle Shows in the UK. It was my first time over and without doubt I will be booking my tickets ASAP for the 2015 Show.
With a great variety of manufacturers present along with pretty much all the accessories you could safely carry away the show has a lot to see and do.
This year the show piece, in fact the show stopper was the Kawasaki H2 and H2R, and when the track ready version was put on the dyne the show literally did stop! The ear defenders they were handing out were actually a requirement, if you had any sense! This bike is deafening, more importantly this bike is impressive!
You can check out my YouTube Video of it on the Dyno below :
Here is a Gallery showcasing some of the other outstanding machines on display – and check out that Honda ‘Prototype’ – is this the new soon to be released Africa Twin! Hell I hope so!
Any Apple Launch Day now is a big one, and this one was the biggest so far. Queues have been reported as 83% bigger for this release of the iPhone 5 than they were for last years iPhone 4s’ event.
I have to agree with this, as I opted to sleep in a little as last year wasn’t really that much of an issue, so when I arrived at the queue this morning at a little after 05.30 am at the Apple Store, Victoria Square, Belfast I was horrified and also a little impressed to see no less than 300 people already in the queue!
At shortly after 11am I left the store with a little bag containing a white 32Gb iPhone 5 – Sweet!
And that is exactly what it is – SWEET!
