Erm...didn't go in the end :oops:

BURNER 08-01-05 06:38 PM

I did.
Dunno about last year but no Suzuki stand :(
Kewl Yamaha stand with all the new bikes, MT-01 and others.
Sat on the new Hornet 600, ginger version with USD forks. feels very small..
Triumph stand with Sprint ST, new Speed triple and Rocket III was the best tho.....

Bought a wave rear disc from the stealth stand, £49.99 delivered to my door. Much better than the £70- odd wanted elsewhere.

A bit quiet tho, no huge crowds except when the stunt show was on.

Was going to buy a Roof helmet for £200- but guy at the stall was a bit of an **** so I'll buy elsewhere.

Went today, have to say that Speed Triple youre sat on Burner =P~ (the bike, not you :P) is that a special paintjob or does it come like that? either way, very nice

Was surprised at how many mini motos there were, theyre taking over! Had a good laugh at the fat lad falling off his trials bike, not that I could do better!

And got me a carbon fibre race pipe for the ninja for £140. All in all id say result 8)

BURNER 09-01-05 07:37 PM

Special paint, few bodywork additions like the clock fairing, solo cowl and belly pan. Still looks good in black.
Was pretty quiet which I think is no bad thing, could see every stall and all the exhibits without hordes of folk in the way.
I'll go again next year, if anything because I like that we have a real local show and would like to see it continue for many years to come.

Have to say I was very disappointed.

Nothing to get me work hardening the plastic.

Nothing Id not seen before, but it was a new experience as I hadnt been to this particular show before. Couldnt leave empty handed though so just picked up a t-shirt.

Yeah, pretty much the usual stuff. I just checked that I can't reach the floor on anything except a mini moto or the raptor. I was hoping for some winter glove bargains, but the plastic stayed safe and warm, so I guess it's off to HG.
