Those who didn't go to the London Bike Show..
You didn't miss much!
Went yesterday with my mate and it was very much a smaller and busier NEC Bike Show. Could hardly walk around without someone treading on your foot or bashing you with a bag/lid.. Only a handfull of manufacturers had stands and Knox didn't have a stand either, the one thing I wanted to buy (back protector insert). That is all. |

Re: Those who didn't go to the London Bike Show..
I went too Nick, was dissapointed until i remembered it was free. Like you say it was smaller than the NEC, but busier!
Did you see the collection of blokes gazing at the stage when the babe comp was on. Yes i did sit there throughout! Took about four wrong turnings getting there |

Re: Those who didn't go to the London Bike Show..
Pegasus & I went on Thurs - arrived shortly before 10:00am - no queues, just rolled up to the shutter as they were opening & strolled in.
Not once was I barged or banged into; only once did I have to wait more than 2 minutes for a salesperson to become free. Got myself a sweet deal on a Rukka Jkt & Trs set along with a new pair of Sidi boots. IIRC Knox may not have had a stand there - but plenty of stands were selling their kit. Free tickets !! All in all an enjoyable day out without all the hassle of the NEC

Re: Those who didn't go to the London Bike Show..
Yeah, it was free so can't complain too much. Saw the Rukka stand but didn't venture in, not in my price bracket unfortunatley! Found a lot of stands selling the knox back protectors but not the inserts.
Did see some of the MCN babes posing |
