Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllllllllllllllll

drawing on my experiance of attending the Ally Pally bike shows...

....you might get a fiar wodge off, you might not. You might buy a suit you think is cheap, walk around the corner and see it for sale on another stand for another £20 less

just go, and see what there is

there will be bargins though

The nec is generally a promotions show with lots of special offers on kit etc. I got my arai tour-x helmet for £200 when it was meant to have been £275 or something. It came with a clear visor but I wanted a smoked one as well so he said "go on then, 50% off - you can have it for £25"... I think they'll probably inflate some RRP's so they can offer "bigger" discounts but you will generally save a bit of money.

You could possibly contact them and ask if they're attending the show & what sort of discounts they'll be offering. I can't recall seeing any tyre dealers there last year but I'm sure there will be. Gonna see how much I can get some avon storms for

Many suppliers also use some of these events to clear out old stock and discount hugely. First come first served is the order of the day, so get their sooner than you think. At the last Excel, Mich Byrne was selling KBC helmests for $100, sadly only certain sizes and colours, they were flying off the shelf, especially the pink ones to the ladies

Ive generally found the NEC show to be quite expensive,especially after paying an arm and leg to get there and get in.Tends to be retailers and manufacturers showcasing their latest products,rather than pile it high sell it cheap like the BMF shows.
