those cruisers look daft! they seem to just think the most extreme/biggest design is the best, so they often just lookk so so wrong! i preffered the night rod and rocket to any custom (it could well sway me from the sportsbikes )

Yup, could have been better yes but was not a bad show, the MCN girls were good eye candy and for getting lids n stuff bargains were available, though not to me, I just got some leather cleaner

Yeah I felt the show wasn't as good as the last time I went (2 years back). Disappointed Ducati and Aprila were missing. I know what you mean about the customs, I suppose the 'real' bikes were out being ridden.

However the a go on the SuperMoto experience more than made up for that

I was chuffed to bits at going on the off road experience but felt as if i didnt see many bikes, and spent most time looking round stalls at things which werent reduced. Didnt buy much only a set of R&Gs which were full price anyway

I wanted a pair of winter trousers but i didnt see any that were as comfy as those from HG

I sat on gixxer 750 and have been dreaming about it ever since, (could get my feet down )

For my first show, I loved it but not sure i'll bother next year, probably do bmf instead
