Motorcycle Live @ NEC The annual who's going when thread

[Brettus]

Seeing as it is that time of year again I thought I'd start a thread for people organising who is going when to aid with meetups (might be a good opportunity for whoever is carrying the Org through a lens (http://forums.sv650.org/showthread.php?t=184850) camera at that point)

Public Poll so people can see who might be there when.

[TCochrane]

Going, but not sure which day yet

[NTECUK]

Got to decide on what day . Probly go by car.

[JamesMio]

I'll be going down with the Motorcycle Scotland gang, looking forward to it as I've not made the last 3/4 year's.

Hopefully bump into a few familiar faces while we're there

[sniff]

I'm going but as yet haven't a clue what day. Mate is sorting this out for days and train times. Too lazy to ride up plus if I spend shed loads of money then I wont be able to get it all home.

[Brettus]

Bit closer, here's a bump.
Any idea what dates you will be there yet Lozzo? V interested in your wares LOL

[Sir Trev]

Went two years ago when I needed new leathers. Not many deals available and the guy who helped me try some stuff on (cannot remember which shop now) was taken aback when I made him an "offer". If Monty Python has taught me anything you've gotta haggle!

Have fun all those going.

Going on Friday 30th with work and will be on the Bike Trader Stand so say hi if you are about :-)

[Brettus]

I think we need some form of game, like having to announce on a thread you are heading into the show and then grab a flyer from one of the orgers stands without them realising you are "one of us" ;)

Exhibiting orgers then score points by correctly identifying visiting orgers :) but lose them for having a flyer posted in the thread. (as identified orgers have to surrender the flyer (or at least not post it if they are genuinely interested heh)

sorry I'm bored at work ;)

[Kenzie]

Looks like we are going on the 24th now.

[Tim in Belgium]

Still to sort Saturday night's entertainment location before hitting it with a Sunday hangover...

[Scythe92]

Me and my cousin who is doing is test soon, going visit his brother on the Friday in Brum, and then going to this on the saturday (24th). So if you see two lower 20s lads looking very rough, it's probably us.

[STRAMASHER]

Anybody done the test ride thingy there before?

[Viney]

as always, the last Sunday for me and no i dont want to meet any of you as im anti Social ;):lol:

[JamesMio]

Me!

Took an 848 out for a spin when I was last there 2/3 years ago. You just rock up at the demo booking booth thingy, pick which bike(s) you'd like to take out and book a slot if it's available.

Last time HG let you borrow a full rig of riding kit, oh and you got breathalised before being let loose.

All good really.

Cheers J,

I fancy a bit of that action ( so please don't snow!) Especially bikes plural.

But it means curtailing my Brum Big Night oot! :smt030

Ah weel! :smt083

Not got my eye on summit as shhexy as a duc.... but fancy a shot of the monster trailies.

[mister c]

Won a photography competition for Motorcycle live's advertising campaign. (you may have seen me holding the red letter E in one of their ads). So have 2 free tickets. I'm going on the 1st day as my other half wants to meet John McPint, she loves him more than me :(.
I was going to go on the last day as it's TT day, but thought better of it.

[rob13]

Usual Thursday for me. I think this is my 10th year this year. Been getting better last few years too.

[sniff]

Just booked train tickets £30.80 return London toBirmingham International. Just need to get my tickets to get in there now. Sure someone will get me some freebies for this.

[Brettus]

Don't think I can make the Saturday now :( not sure when I can make it but will update on here. Gutted, all the cool people were going on the first Saturday ;)

[speedyctr]

oh dear! No freebies for you then, they will all be gone ;) On another note, if not to busy I might sign up for the test ride thing, and if it's gonna be bad weather I'm thinking something like 690 Duke's gonna be more fun than the 848 evo isn't it?

[Nick_69]

Im going on Saturday 24(tomorrow), if you want to test ride the 848 or anyting good, would get there nice and early

[Geodude]

Saturday 24th if all goes to plan.

[Merv121]

tomorrow (sat)

[Kenzie]

Sunday now.

[Specialone]

I'm going tomorrow, say hi if you see me :)

[speedyctr]

Went on the 24th. Got there for 10:00, didn't do a test ride as such - did this instead! Got some great pictures :) Want to do some off roading now....

How much was the off road at Yamaha, I just walked past it as they were no signs.

[speedyctr]

Free but got to get there early. Don't quote me but i think the 1st 50-60 people to sign up get to have ago. We just walked up to it but I believe some people did run!
