More than 20,000 visitors are expected to visit this weekend's Motorbike and Scooter Show at the RDS in Dublin.
Spectators will be treated to spectacular hourly stunt shows from world champion stunt rider Christian Pfeiffer, Irish champion Mattie Griffin and British stunt rider Gary Taylor .
Kids can also join in the two-wheeled fun by having a go on the mini-moto pint-size motorbikes.
With an increasing number of frustrated commuters now taking to two wheels to avoid the traffic jams, Ireland's top training schools, including An Garda Síochána and the National Safety Council, will be on hand to give advice to first-time riders.
"You're not required to take any bike training in this country," said Dave Lyons on the Motorcycle Rider Training Group stand, "but it's so import- ant for safe riding, especially since the roads are so bad."
Bikers will not be disappointed with this year's impressive display of machines. Factory fresh releases include the Yamaha MT- 01, a muscular and powerful bike with a big retro style cc twin engine. The stylish MV Agusta M4 Tamburrini, only 300 of which have been built, will be on show for the first time in Ireland.
The Harley-Davidson Dyna Super Glide Custom bike is sure to make bikers beam with its sleek chrome stretched fuel tank and attractive array of colours.
Scooter users will also be able to view a large selection including a new range of imported lower-priced scooters at the quadrophenia stand. Green machines will also have their scooters on show for those who prefer to cut through the clogged streets without damaging the environment.
The show finishes tomorrow and tickets are available at the entrance or through www.irishmotorbike show.com
