    Who’s going? I’ve booked tickets for the Monday (with the free disc lock)

    what are you going to see/buy/drool over etc etc?

    Me and a mate are going, he’s looking at a new set of leathers and I’m looking to purchase a stand, racefit and potentially a new helmet, and try and not to go into my overdraft!

    No doubt we have a sniff at the new bikes, but I’ve found shows to be a bit lacklustre from the late 90’s/00’s shows such like the BMF. Wouldn’t be going if I wasn’t hoping for a bargain on the above items

    Yeah the shows aren’t what they used to be, I’m going on the 17th I’ll probably buy another new lid as usual.

    Yep, I booked ages ago.

    Will probably go on the Tuesday. As previously said, avoid the weekend. I'll be stalking the Honda stand, Triumph, BMW and Yamaha. Have to get one of those mean Shark helmets @Mattie660 has shown, and maybe a Warrior stand too.

    Warrior stands will be cheaper than the friggin' burgers!!:D:D

    Agree. I had a harsh introduction.

    I often snack at Subway and upon buying my usual breakfast found it was double the price had I bought it at Worcester!:eek::mad:

    Probably go on the Thursday. Have the day booked off but not got a ticket yet. I nearly bought one but the twats now insist on you being registered with them and I couldn't be arsed to use a throwaway email address from my phone as I have a plugin on my laptop that gives me an email address that is only valid for 30 mins.

    As for the show, it will be not that great, the food as noted will be expensive, the deals won't be enough to tempt me, but I meet my best mate there as it us roughly halfway between our homes, and you get to see likes of bikes.

    I'm going on the Friday. Its a shame it's getting like it is. I'm only going as it's the only bike show I attend and it's nice to do something bike related...but it's not like it used to be.
