I went there today not much in the way of bargins...except for Shoei top range helmets in plain colours for 185 quid!

I did buy aload of R&G kit...the price they was selling them for is the same you would pay if you brought direct...but they gave me 30 quid off (15% discount) and I didn't have to pay any postage so worked out ok...

Hardly took any piccies bleady camara batts decided today they wanted to pi$$ me off lol but all in all was worth the ticket price but I feel sorry for any of you who traveled a long way for it as maybe it might not have felt worth it for the distance!

sprocket and I went up on Friday and had a great day. We both knew what we wanted to buy and got some really good deals. The sunglasses I bought were superb (little prescription lens holders inside) - quarter of the high street cost.

enjoyed having a sit on a few of the bikes there - and sprocket did a little bird-watching too

LOL ^

going by those pics you did have a good time georgie_d

they are a bit out of focus........

we're still looking for Frank

good show but an expensive day out and that was just for the petro / entrance fee / parking

, still worth a trip though.... didn't really pick up anything worth mentioning....

bumped into Georgie_d, (twice) but still couldn't find Frank and met up with Age, Les, Marcus and RSB who was quite talkative for a change

...... managed to sit on a few bikes, especially liked the gixxers ... which are def on my wish list

Yeah have to say new Gsxr750 in Black

I sat on the R6 as well but boy is that gsxr small

But the Duke will be staying for a bit longer yet but I will be booking a test ride with bridge in March

We ended up going past at about five on Saterday so it wasn't worth going in. Real bad timing.

I got there around 3pm on the Sunday...worked a treat all the peeps at the stands were saying they was tired been a long day and willing to cut me a deal

I was already in brum at the weekend so was only 25 mile drive and I felt it was worth it...Not sure if I would have felt the same if the distance was in tripple figures...but then it's the last bike show of the yr (I think) so maybe that makes it worthwhile for all

It was worth it for me, costs sod all to get up there, just extortion parking the cars.

Only picked up little bits, will save up more next year. And to be honest there is sod all I actually need, got everything now. Sat on a few bikes, and still don't know what to get yet
