glad I'm not missing out then

the thing is there is no point going if the manufactures don't show up! as buying stuff is cheaper on the net.

however it is great for going around and trying on stuff.

oh, and the ladies

I went to the Brum show sponsoered by Carole Nash and both my Dad and I thought that it wasnt very good, Honda werent there, none of the chinese scooter dealers had a presence. It was relly dissapointing. The best stands was Suzi

I didn't think it was that bad, but I guess it depends on your expectations. I went with the intention of picking up a new set of leathers, and came away happy with a nice set of BKS for under £500. Sitting on Aprilia was a bonus, as was finally getting around to having some ear plugs made.

It was bigger than last year.. agree its a bit hap hazard regarding information. Should have guessed by the lack of signs on the way in and then poor directions to parking. Went on the opening day and was pleasant to walk around. My kids loved the bikes and stunt show. Got my custom fit ears plugs done as well. The stalls were laid out well but could do with a few more. Prices look appealing but already had kit. Basically a trip out window shopping and looking at eye candy.
