Nice day at the NEC!

And I got a back protector insert for my leathers, plus my car got free grit blasting twice on the M6, on the way home. Glad I wasn't on the SV, a couple of guys on Beemers got caught by the gritting wagons. Not nice!

totally agree, went yesterday and had 2 mooching mates... including the little thief breakfast stop, lunch and mac-D's on the way home it cost me the thick end of £100 bloody quid.

however there was some sweet bikes, novel ideas for customising and some nice ladieys... ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh.

pics to be uploaded shortly. including pics of some absolute 'DOG' bikes... such as the new buell... whats going on there ehh?? front mounted panniers!!!!

Nah...wasn't me...NEC isn't my gig. I should be at Ally Pally end of Feb though.

Well there's babes wearing bikini's so I wouldn't recommend wearing a Polartec 500 fleece

I usually just go around in a T Shirt & Jeans Hovis, its never been cold in the 6 years ive been going to the show. The lights alone are hot enough to keep you warm.

i might dig out my bikini then

just to blend in like, innit

Im off tomorrow by the way. Hope the snow isnt too bad!

T'was a good day out tbh, heard plenty of mixed reviews but i enjoyed it, plenty of bikes on show (both good and bad) and some good savings to be made. I got a pair of arlen ness white boots for £100 from the J&S stand which are retailing at £170 so i'm pretty happy with that!
