Re: BMF the tailend
We won't be going this year, but we've had some real bargains in the past couple of years.
I got a set of new Dainese leathers for £100. Saturday is best for choice, Sunday best for end of show bargains. You have to plough through shed-loads of tat, but there is gold hiding amonst the dross!

I went a few years ago - got a full set of Oxford 'Humpback' luggage (panniers, tail-pack & tank bag) for the price of the tank bag.
Best place and time of year to get winter gear bargains too. |

It can be ok if you've got kit you intend to buy and aren't too fussy. If you aren't in the market for kit then I think there is little to recommend it these days.

Re: BMF the tailend
When I used to live in King's Lynn back in 1985-1989 I would catch the bus to Peterbourgh Showground When the BMF rally was on, wearing full leathers carrying my skidlid... SAD I hear you say...
but always rode home on a motorbike I bought at the show for some bizzare reason... Cheap bikes and instant insurance cover always available... arrr Great days.

Re: BMF the tailend
MMM trouble is my girlfriend probably wants to come (stop me spending probably) and she won't go on the back of the bike, I want to see if there are any deals going on leathers too. If she don't go I might take it. Did you go to the Taz open weekend last weekend?
