Re: Nice day at the NEC!

And I got a back protector insert for my leathers, plus my car got free grit blasting twice on the M6, on the way home. Glad I wasn't on the SV, a couple of guys on Beemers got caught by the gritting wagons. Not nice!

totally agree, went yesterday and had 2 mooching mates... including the little thief breakfast stop, lunch and mac-D's on the way home it cost me the thick end of £100 bloody quid.

however there was some sweet bikes, novel ideas for customising and some nice ladieys... ohhh yeahhhhhhhhhhh.

pics to be uploaded shortly. including pics of some absolute 'DOG' bikes... such as the new buell... whats going on there ehh?? front mounted panniers!!!!

Yeah good day, but tiring, I missed the Gladius and the Honda concept as I was juggling my time between photos/browsing & running around searching for leathers for the wife (Thanks GirlsBike2! Wonder if it was Jo (?) off here that helped us :D)

Nah...wasn't me...NEC isn't my gig. I should be at Ally Pally end of Feb though.

I usually just go around in a T Shirt & Jeans Hovis, its never been cold in the 6 years ive been going to the show. The lights alone are hot enough to keep you warm.

Re: Nice day at the NEC!

T'was a good day out tbh, heard plenty of mixed reviews but i enjoyed it, plenty of bikes on show (both good and bad) and some good savings to be made. I got a pair of arlen ness white boots for £100 from the J&S stand which are retailing at £170 so i'm pretty happy with that!
