Well, as the year draws to a close and we look ahead to the 2016 biking season, we can for now satisfy our habit for magnificent metal with the final scenes from our Motorcycle Live photographic extravaganza.
If you made it to the Birmingham you'll know just how good a show it was and if, regrettably, you didn't then you can at least get a taste of what decked the halls of the NEC (you see how we shoehorned in a festive reference there??). Perhaps we'll see you next year? Before then of course we'll be at very many bike and car shows across the UK and Ireland, details of which we'll post soon. The next biggie on the horizon is the
MCN London Motorcycle Show (Excel, February 12-14th) where we'll once again have a tasty array on display. We hope to see you there.
For now though, enjoy our final batch of visual delights from the UK's biggest bike show.
ROYAL ENFIELD
Lil Hot Rodder, a particularly tasty take on the Classic 500, was created by Rod Geskell specifically to highlight the custom possibilities offered by Royal Enfield machines.

OK, that's it for the Principal Insurance A-Z of Motorcycle Live In Pictures. Thank you so much for your feedback via our Twitter, Facebook and Instagram pages. It seems we've hit on a winner by concentrating on what really matters at the NEC and other shows, the bikes. Oh, and by commissioning a top notch photographer to capture them for your visual pleasure!
