The only way I'll go to the bike show is if I can too get a free ticket or day pass. It's a total rip off for what it is - trade stands galore and rip off crap food. Bring a flask, own food and a free ticket to make it worthwhile.

Probably,........Sunday.

Agh!

Opening MotoGP ,Qatar so its a Saturday race! on Bike show weekend + Old Firm:-# game on Sunday.

I hate being rushed round the show especially when i need to pick stuff up!

When this happened at NEC they have the giant screens and a large area left for watching the racing in a great atmosphere and with liked minded souls ( Pedrosa fans excluded [-( :D )

Not getting my hopes up for Ingileston...............:rolleyes:

.....on the other hand will it be quieter Sunday with the big game being on? Decisions, decisions......

Main thing is NO SNOW!

Another two (Poss 3) for Sunday. Abs is off to Moffat on Saturday and Sunday generally suits better for a lazy day of sightseeing.

Cheers,

Garry

Getting in and out will be easier by bike than by car and there will be facilities for leaving helmets and other gear. Parking is closer unless you get there pretty early and get the car right up at the top end. Take a wee something flat to put under your side stand just in case you have to park somewhere soft and wet. For you though theres always the option of the Ingleston/Ratho bus.

Which day I go will depend on the weather forecast. I need dry days for working outside my house at the moment.

Well... How are you with mud? :) The Ingliston car park's really not made with bikes in mind, it's all grass and gravel, but they usually use some of the access roads for bike parking. If you listen to the car par stewards, they'll usually send you to the good bike parking by the shortest route, which means lots of offroading... But it's not hard to get to a good space.

Was planning to go through on saturday morn with my eldest on the bike....
thought about it some more then thought I'd watch the Moto GP before going. Was decided on that.. then someone phoned about my bike, decided he's going to come over from the Isle of Arran :o and see my SV on sat sometime, so it looks like it's gonna be sunday now.

I have been known to be quite partial to a bit of mud!! :D Although not on the bike!:confused:

Still don't know what day I'm going but will head to Susuki stand at 2pm and try to spot some faces I know. Here's hoping for a good weekend of weather! :cool:

Well unless you have 'Englishman' printed on your forehead or speak incessantly so i can hear the accent that will be difficult. I'll keep a look out.

Weather report was fine. If you had just come down the road a couple of miles you would have been OK. It stayed cloudy but dry at the bike show. ;)
