Ended up turning around and coming home.
Ice, snow blizzards, skidding/crashed lorry and traffic.

We'd done 40 miles in an hour and a half.

Looks like its the weekend instead then.

We went today, and beyond Leeds, the weather was ok. Certainly no snow to worry about. We got there just after 11, no queues to get into the NEC, and to be honest it was pretty dead. I think the weather put a lot of people off coming south and Im glad we went today as its been great just mooching about without having to try and beat the crowds.

Dont like the new Gladius, I like the GP style optional exhaust but thats about it. Put my name down for a test on the KTM 690SM so look forward to being contacted about that, and definitely going to sort a test on a Street Triple. After seeing the new Z750, really like the look of that too (In green) so might sort myself a test on that also. Spent nothing on myself but did get a few Christmas presents.

Went today with my Son. Got there early and managed to book a ride out on the Street Triple. Loved it, despite the weather. A great bike, make sure you book the test; it'll be worth it.

been today. first bike show. had top fun with my brother and our friend. drove from norwich in the car - glad we didnt ride, it was so icy and cold.

Picked up a nice set of FT 2 piece leathers in the end of day sales so im well happy.

Sorry, but im not a fan of the gladius. i think a monster is a better investment.

Was good to see toselands band play and to get to sit on some nice bikes.

what on earth is going on with the new R1's headlights and the front end of that buell?? hehehe

Went today, bike wise it could have been better. Got meself a new lid at a good price as my current one got damaged a while back. Also ordered a fender extender for the MT-03 so it should help keep the cr@p off, I've been waiting ages for one for this bike. Over all though I saved enough pennies on purchases to pay for the admission/petrol/parking to make it a well worthwhile trip.
