What bikes are you keen to see, sit on, put your kids on, bounce around on like a big kid yourself............

I'm looking forward to seeing the Kawasaki Z1000SX as my Dad and I have talked about trading in his Z750S and going halves on 1 of these monsters :)

Also the Suzuki GSR750, Triumph Tiger 800 to see just how much it looks like a GS in the flesh and the Ducati Diavel

None of it. Im going to buy a new piar of textiles, and maybe a new rear paddock stand and have a day out with my mates.

Bikes dont interest me.

:smt017 fair enough! I'll be after some MX body armour while i'm at it, that if I had already I probably wouldnt be nursing the busted shoulder I have now :stupid:

looking at a front paddock stand, foggy mask thingy, fs365 and ill buy some snake oil probably!

i want to have a look at the triumph stand and the ducatti stand. i dont know any famous riders (like some guy with airwaves all over his leathers last year, he handed me a signed cap and i just popped it on the nearest kid. no idea who he was! or some guy called james toseland or something that my cous offers me the phone number for)

appart from that... ooooh and some microfiber boxers. they were good if only to make my nob look bigger than it is while im dancing round the bedroom

I'm going to have a look at the Ducati 1198SP and ask them on the Ducati stand if I can get a top box fitted to carry my handbag and high heels in if I buy one.

I'm going to look for Treacle and Viney as we are there on the same day. By the time I find them it'll probably be time to go home again.

My son wants to meet his hero Guy Martin, so said I would go with him. I'm not really interested in the new bikes, can't afford one, so dont need to look at them.

Am completely skint, and I prefer old bikes I can rebuild, but I'll probably have a sit on the news sports stuff. Need some new boots and maybe textiles if I see a REALLY good offer - but as I'm short on cash it would have to be very very good. I'd love a new lid as mine is very manky now, but replacing an RX7 with similar quality is out of the question right now. Think it will have to last another winter at least until i finish my PhD and get a job (yeah yeah, student slacker etc etc)

Not going, too expensive. Any money saved on gear is less than the spending on getting in and so on...

I might go to this though.

Bikes - just generally drooling over and sitting on all the bikes I can't afford for a while :P

Gear - heated stuff and fitted ear plugs, and possibly a comms device :)

I cant wait to see the new zx10, the only thing to tempt me away from my gixxer750.

Would like to see the new gsxr meant to be 8kg lighter with more power, and them brembo's. :D

Sorry Toxic, I think you might have left it a bit late. 7 months infact ;)

Have they moved this show to April now? Smart move, I went a couple of times when it was in January & between being skint from Xmas and it still being -2 outside no-one was really fussed despite it being a pretty good show all in all

if I flutter my eyelashes at Pops

Give your Dad the puppy dog eyes, save the eyelashes for the other half. Doing it the other way round is just wrong ;) you work 169hrs a week you shouldnt be skint [-(

this year's was cancelled due to snow, maybe for 2011 they'll be luckier.

Doesnt surprise me i've seen the way you ride, bloody hooligan :rolleyes: ;)

I hope they take their heads out their @sses and stick to April from now on. Big benefit is free parking for bikes but in January, i'll pass thanks

Hoping to be there tomorrow, will be working on the Total Biker FM stand, plugging my show to various punters and trying to be a nice Aunty Jayne. It all depends on the roads though because Wifey will be driving us up in the car if the roads are clear. Means I can wear a skirt and nice shoes to meet my public, which will make a change from Combats, boots and an old Marduk shirt!
