Wink NEC show whos going......to see what?

What bikes are you keen to see, sit on, put your kids on, bounce around on like a big kid yourself............

I'm looking forward to seeing the Kawasaki Z1000SX as my Dad and I have talked about trading in his Z750S and going halves on 1 of these monsters

Also the Suzuki GSR750, Triumph Tiger 800 to see just how much it looks like a GS in the flesh and the Ducati Diavel

None of it. Im going to buy a new piar of textiles, and maybe a new rear paddock stand and have a day out with my mates.

Bikes dont interest me.

looking at a front paddock stand, foggy mask thingy, fs365 and ill buy some snake oil probably!

i want to have a look at the triumph stand and the ducatti stand. i dont know any famous riders (like some guy with airwaves all over his leathers last year, he handed me a signed cap and i just popped it on the nearest kid. no idea who he was! or some guy called james toseland or something that my cous offers me the phone number for)

appart from that... ooooh and some microfiber boxers. they were good if only to make my nob look bigger than it is while im dancing round the bedroom

I'm going to have a look at the Ducati 1198SP and ask them on the Ducati stand if I can get a top box fitted to carry my handbag and high heels in if I buy one.

I'm going to look for Treacle and Viney as we are there on the same day. By the time I find them it'll probably be time to go home again.

I find microfiber boxers/posing pouches verrrrrrry disturbing

Looks like I'm going on Sunday. Its the first time since this was introduced.


My son wants to meet his hero Guy Martin, so said I would go with him. I'm not really interested in the new bikes, can't afford one, so dont need to look at them.

Am completely skint, and I prefer old bikes I can rebuild, but I'll probably have a sit on the news sports stuff. Need some new boots and maybe textiles if I see a REALLY good offer - but as I'm short on cash it would have to be very very good. I'd love a new lid as mine is very manky now, but replacing an RX7 with similar quality is out of the question right now. Think it will have to last another winter at least until i finish my PhD and get a job (yeah yeah, student slacker etc etc)

Not going, too expensive. Any money saved on gear is less than the spending on getting in and so on...

I might go to this though.

Bikes - just generally drooling over and sitting on all the bikes I can't afford for a while :P

Gear - heated stuff and fitted ear plugs, and possibly a comms device
