Its like that cartoon sketch from 'The Broons' I saw years ago. Look quite fit untill all the layers of bike gear come off ha

Yes, so, I went today and it's completely s**t. Got fitted for proper earplugs, got a couple of tools and a pair of frank thomas trousers from the rejects store with a leather dying fault (to replace the pair I minced at Knockhill) and that's about it. Way less exhibitors than last year I think, though I think there was more camping and clubs. The Bandit and SV Owners Club actually had an SV this year, which makes a nice change.

Also, there were at least 3 traffic cars patrolling the main route down from Edinburgh, I got stuck behind one most of the way and saw two go the other way. Reasonable enough tbh, there were loads of bellends out, but be careful, those are great roads to ride fast.

However, if anyone does go tomorrow, you could pop by the really good touring/camping place that's always at the shows, with the display of Ortlieb drybags and Kriega rucksacks and suchlike, and find out if I left the cheap drybags I bought there or somewhere else They seem like good folks so I'm sure if I did they'd say so, but there's no point burning another £10 worth of fuel to pick up £9 worth of stuff. It would be much appreciated...
