Given all the new bikes recently it might actually be worth the trip this year, if all the big players will be there with their new stuff??

I was thinking the same and for the first time in a long time I can't go. Bloody typical.

I'm going 23rd with a mate who's never been before.

Enjoyed last year and with the new bikes out should be good this year.

We're going on the 28th. Need to compile a shortlist of bikes to test ride in spring before buying one.

sat 22nd for me...looking forward to seeing the H2, and seeing if those lights on the R1 actually look any better in the flesh.

Also looking forward to the new S1000RR and RSV4 RR

Hoping to get some bargains clobber wise for my girlfriend and eldest daughter

Too expensive now.
The min £27 entrance/parking fee wipes out any savings to be had.

Well that sort of reply took longer than expected.



Edit to add: Just need someone to mention EICMA or intermot and we'll have the full set.

£17 to get in and share a car with 3 mates and the car park's only £2.25 pp. Hardly breaking the bank. Purchase a couple of discounted items in there and you're quids in.

Not to mention getting to see everything all in one place rather than having to drive/ride around all the different dealers, none of which are particularly local to me.

Must admit I'm disppointed MV aren't going to be there, never had a chance to have a good look at them since they have no dealers in Scotland.
Still, really looking forward to it, anybody that moans should be forced to come to the Scottish Bike show, that would put things in perspective for them.

I'll be going down. Looking for a new helmet (again) after I broked the old one by headbutting the floor.

Indeed, but what they won't mention is that at EICMA (I've never been to Intermot) its all trade with no chance of recouping your costs on purchases, it is a great show though ... but I always enjoy the NEC when I go, just view it as a day out with the boys ....

Have you ever attended the "Carole Nash" one? Same venue. I'd never heard of it until I saw it in the paper.
