Got a text about this (http://www.georgewhite.co.uk/?section=theblast), its one of their weekend things. Might be some cheap kit around or something of interest. So I'll be popping up at some point this weekend to wonder around...

I like that. Wondering around instead of wandering around. Will it be an Altzheimers thing or a geniune display of wonderment? Or, and please say it will be so, you in the Wonderwoman costume again ;)

I was wandering if someone would pick up on that deliberate mistake. Honest.

Nah, it's like gay love, everyone should try it once. Make your own mind up.

When I say pikey, I mean it seemed like a large contingent of the thicker, poorer, scummier parts of Penhill were in attendance. The store is good.

If you're going there anyway, shouldn't let it put you off. But it will be much busier than usual and parkings going to get fun.
The entertainment isn't my thing; stunt shows don't do it for me and the term 'Babe' is very subjective. I'm just going to see if there is anything worth spending the money I don't have on and have a general look around really.

Well I did turn up there today.
They have a new warehouse, its big. Slightly different range than what is found in the Frank Thomas outlet. Usual stuff about for one of their event days; lots of cheap lids, cheap Micron pipes if you ride a GSXR600 or CBR600, and every other person buys a paddock stand.
Not really much in the way of SV bits if you don't want clothing, though there was a Black Curvy front panel for £75 and what could have been a Black Pointy tank for £50. Trouble is these NOS bits are never well arranged and are usually in a box in no particular order so I could have missed the something vital. Who knows.
But as a word of warning there are a number of MCN 'Babes' around. The phrase "Mutton dressed as Lamb" has never been more appropriate. Now where did I put that mind bleach?

i was there too yesterday, only for an hour. Got myself a new lid and rucksack...other than that it was pretty naff, so I decided to walk through the nearest bike-parks and snap pics of all the SVs i saw in a desperate attempt to actually 'eyeball' someone. can't say much for the 'babes' either, more like stick insects IMO

Micron pipes if you ride a GSXR600 or CBR600
they bought up the last of micron stock as they were going bust at the time?? and were selling it all off cheap but none of it fitted well, i nearly bought a R6 on the deal that they were shifting 2 grands worst of extras for an extra few quid on top of the buying price, i didn't go through with it but my mate who was with me did and traded his R6 for an R1 on the deal and the pipes never fitted properly, neither did the paddock stands they were shifting
Popped up there today. Was interesting. The stunt rider was awesome mind, the mcn girls were...interesting and i have never seen so many people wearing ill fitted weird coloured leathers in my life lol
Was good tho, nice ride up as well

I went too, I thought it was good! Mattie Griffin was awesome, he has a firm handshake too.
There was a superbike draw today. I have a feeling I won, but was not there to claim my prize.
