Maybe its down to the exciting racing seen in
MotoGP or World Superbikes, maybe its down to celebrity riders like Jamie Oliver, or maybe its just because of increased road congestion and fuel prices, but there is little doubt that motorcycles and scooters have experienced a boom in popularity over recent years.
More and more people are ditching four wheels in favour of two, and two wheeled motorsport is more popular than ever.
Now, for those already converted to two wheels, or for those curious about making the switch, the next big highlight will be the the Annual International Motorcycle and Scooter Show.
The event, held at Birmingham's NEC, will provide enthusiasts with another dose of everything with two wheels and an engine, bringing together manufacturers and retailers from all over the world together under one roof.
An outdoor circuit adjacent to all seven halls will ensure the entertainmentstarts as soon as you enter, and for those who love motorsport, 13 professional teams will be on display, with some of the biggest names from MotoGP and British Superbikes entertaining visitors. For the first time, visitors will be able to watch Supermoto events and the more adventurous can even try it for themselves.
With over 200,000 visitors expected to attend, the show is sure to be the highlight of the biking year. Bikes, scooters, babes, riders, racers and even fashion- it's all going to be there.
One who is certainly an avid fan of bikes and scooters is Suzi Perry,
BBC presenter and bike aficionado, who will be taking part in a live webchat ahead of the event on Wednesday 27 October from 12:00 to 13:00 GMT.
You can e-mail questions in ahead of the webchat to questions@webchats.tv and the chat itself will be live at
