Did you find your way into the flower arranging exhibition instead or something?

I reckon that would be more interesting.
At least in there people haven't driven to the show then put their leathers on in the car park so people would know that they're bikers.

Yer ive seen that, pretty sad and they take their lids in and pay to put them in the lid storage bit!?

Simple fact is you can buy more stuff if you take the car and try out suits etc. easier

I went two years ago and thought it was really good - looks like we'll be going this year

I'm not sure why those kind of idiots should have any bearing on your enjoyment the show

I just find it surprising that Jester didn't like it. I mean, if you're not interested in looking at bikes, shiney bits, getting a deal on some kit etc then fair enough, but in that case why go in the first place? Not like you could missunderstand what the show's all about

Cheaper on-line in advance, and tickets aren't day-specific (other then preview/press days). I think they are about £13 and no queuing on the day.

I gave it a miss last year because the one two years ago wasn't as good as the previous year. Ups and downs, I guess.

However, my mate is looking to get his wallet out in the spring so there's a purpose, and I need some new kit.....

The trouble with the show is that there aren't as many true bargains as at other shows and those that there are you have to really look for. Great for oggling/sitting on bikes though

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOO i've not been here since i was little.

They still have lots of trade stands for clothing. Seriously need some new boots for the winter as my fett keep getting wet.

And some new gloves....

And a new jacket...

Doh.....

i need all new kit my lid doesn't fit my boots aren't waterproof and i need textiles gonna be an expensive trip i think

I need to get some general clothing. At the moment I only have a man made material jobby, and it's VERY warm! (get quite sweaty and smelly, and takes ages to get anywhere, feel like the michelin man!)

Be ideal in the winter, but not when the weather is mild. Could do with some trousers that I feel comfortable wearing for a while (So I don't need to de-kit every time I stop off somewhere) and a lighter, cooler jacket for those milder/summer days.! Boots and lid are brand new so they should last a while.
