kwak, same thoughts here mate, was round it in 4 hours

last year I went both days as I was taking a few pics but def wasnt overly impressed with it this year

not a lot of custom bikes compared to last year either

kwak zzr 06-11-06 10:03 PM

all the customs there this year was just the same as last year on the carol nash stand.
we went round it once and then came out, walked round 4 times last year.

those cruisers look daft! they seem to just think the most extreme/biggest design is the best, so they often just lookk so so wrong! i preffered the night rod and rocket to any custom (it could well sway me from the sportsbikes :? )

Yup, could have been better yes but was not a bad show, the MCN girls were good eye candy and for getting lids n stuff bargains were available, though not to me, I just got some leather cleaner :lol:

Yeah I felt the show wasn't as good as the last time I went (2 years back). Disappointed Ducati and Aprila were missing. I know what you mean about the customs, I suppose the 'real' bikes were out being ridden.

However the a go on the SuperMoto experience more than made up for that :twisted:

I was chuffed to bits at going on the off road experience but felt as if i didnt see many bikes, and spent most time looking round stalls at things which werent reduced. Didnt buy much only a set of R&Gs which were full price anyway

I wanted a pair of winter trousers but i didnt see any that were as comfy as those from HG

I sat on gixxer 750 and have been dreaming about it ever since, (could get my feet down :smt041 )

For my first show, I loved it but not sure i'll bother next year, probably do bmf instead

if you go every year there pretty much the same kinda thing.
