Anyone going? And what's it like, any good?
We won't be going this year, but we've had some real bargains in the past couple of years.
I got a set of new Dainese leathers for £100.:D
Saturday is best for choice, Sunday best for end of show bargains. You have to plough through shed-loads of tat, but there is gold hiding amonst the dross!

Might give it a go then, ta very much
I went a few years ago - got a full set of Oxford 'Humpback' luggage (panniers, tail-pack & tank bag) for the price of the tank bag.
Best place and time of year to get winter gear bargains too.
It can be ok if you've got kit you intend to buy and aren't too fussy. If you aren't in the market for kit then I think there is little to recommend it these days.
When I used to live in King's Lynn back in 1985-1989 I would catch the bus to Peterbourgh Showground When the BMF rally was on, wearing full leathers carrying my skidlid... SAD I hear you say...
but always rode home on a motorbike I bought at the show for some bizzare reason... Cheap bikes and instant insurance cover always available...
arrr Great days.
I will be going as its only 2 miles away from home.

MMM trouble is my girlfriend probably wants to come (stop me spending probably) and she won't go on the back of the bike, I want to see if there are any deals going on leathers too. If she don't go I might take it. Did you go to the Taz open weekend last weekend?
Oh dear, I am looking for some new leathers too. Wanted to go to JTS before the show, but never made it. Will see them at the show.
I didnt go to Taz, didnt know it was on till too late, I hear they have a dooo every month. Did you go?

I dropped in briefly as I was passing on the saturday. Lots going on but didn't stay long. Where's JTS then? If I don't get any at the show, I'll probably go to HG
JTS is in Coalville, the other side of Leicester. I think they are at BMF too.
