It is worth it, even if you just sit on loads of bikes. You get a feel for new ranges etc, I tend to have a few bikes that I want to see, sort of new in the range etc, last year for me was to have an up close look at Gladius and a Street Triple.

This year, I'm not too sure yet, Honda aren't there so no Blade to sit on.

I guess if you are looking for a bike its good and aside from that its just to dribble and drool over the new ones.

I will probably see what we want to do closer to the time.

Not only that, there is cheap kit there, dirt bike show, last year - the wall of death, the Harley Davidson dancers, Race Paddock Quiz with various racing stars such as John McGuiness, Randy Mamola and Leon Camier.

It depends what your really into.

If your a riding and thats it person I wouldn't bother*, I've been going for the past 6 years, never missed one.

*Though you never know, you may enjoy it

Probably will be going , as i want to get a new set of gloves , boots and a helmet. After a Shuburth helmet, BKS gloves and Sidi boots.

Also want to speak to companies about getting track fairing for the ninja.
Also probably will buy some braided lines as well.

IMO its expensive to go if you are not after anything specific, but there are a few bargins to be had.

Not decided what day i am going probably the weekend.

Y'man talks sense. This year, in advance is £15 booking. Good job my grandad looks old enough to get in as a senior :) I'm looking for a few bargains.

On what basis?

Liam9188 22-10-09 09:36 AM
Re: NEC bike show 2009
 
On the basis of the one i used to own being crap, and not having a high opinion of any of my friends hondas. I don't like the stupid things they have done in motorcycle gran prix racing either, like that ridiculous NR500 or when they tried putting the tank underneath the engine and the exhausts over it, in a dummy tank. That sort of thing has always annoyed me, because its a bad way to work
