The ARM Club's annual Midlands show, due to be held at The National Motorcycle Museum near Coventry may be cancelled due to a fire currently raging at the venue. BBC Midlands news reports that up to 40% of the bikes are lost and pictures showed the main entrance to the building well alight at 18:45 Tuesday.
We have yet to hear from the ARM Club as to whether their show scheduled for the venue on 29th November will still be able to go ahead at a new venue.

Utterly devastating!
Many of those machines were totally irreplaceable.
It's impossible to put a value on the machines lost as so many of them were one-offs.
Think I'll wear black tomorrow. |

I know it is heatbreaking. They have managed to save some. The picture of the burnt out bikes so sad. |

I can't believe they didn't have better fire-prevention methods. In this day and age. |

We are working with the Motor Cycle Museum to see what arrangements can be made for the show, but we are also looking at alternate venues. Cheers
