It's a d@mn expensive show too. At weekends it's £14 on the door. Even the £10 advance tickets are still a bit expensive for what it is. I might go on the first Sunday as there's a farmers market there too.

Getting a new plough for the harley ? :lol: :lol: sorry couldn't resist

I've got Belstaff trousers, which have a zip all the way round (and a half zip as well). I need to try them out with various jackets until I find one that works with the zip - and that fits over my back protector. I know Belstaff jackets will fit the trousers - just need to find the right size :D

Are there any standards for leathers for track days, like with Helmets :?: I'm assuming I'll be OK with a full zip

Ahh. I've got a Belstaf montana, which cost silly money, and much to my irritation it doesnt zip up all the way round :x

Got a set of Alpinestars jacket and trousers at the weekend from J&S in New Malden only £420 :shock: but the jacket had been reduced by well over £100. Even better my wife paid as she promised me soem form Christmas and Birthday combined plus she wants me to be safe (so I can go faster :twisted: ).

not that I'm aware of. 100% bikes require that you have either one piece or zip-together 2 piece and they check you over in the pit lane before letting you out on the track to make sure you're zipped up properly.

Getting back to the Bike Show, I went last year and got some cracking deals (all the bits from Renegade for a shade over £400, Dainese race jacket for £120, free bits from Skidmarx.....). Being very cheeky and fluttering my eyelashes worked very well!

Jordan, its always worth going. You can nevr tell with these things from one year to another. the 03 NEC is thought was pants compared to 04's.

Its worth the small trip to see for yourself init. The trick is, to know what you want, and a rough price you want to pay, then haggle :D Dont be swayed by the hundreds of leathers that you see, that may look good, but are crap.
