Default NEC Bike Show: Test Rides

I'm going on 29th and fancy blagging a demo.

Unfortunately GSXR-750 isn't available, so looks like i'll go for a street triple.

Anyone else up for it??

If you want to do it, get there early (before the show opens), work out from a floorplan where the stand is, find the nearest entrance to it, queue and then run like hell to the stand as soon as the doors open! The test ride slots fill up quick.

Hi Tim, I'm definately going and looking at the 2nd weekend due to trying to grab some bargains from R&G, K&N and Knox. i do want to take a KTM out on a test but may just use Fowlers if the Q is too big.

I'm going up with the kids but if you wanna go up and need a lift / company gimme a shout...

Why bother- paying to get into a show, then queing some more and missing the show - if you want a free test ride book one at the dealer? But do have a go on the mini motos- really good fun
