Quick questions

Who's going?

I am after chain, sprockets, possibly Brembo master cylinder after I got let down by local bike shop

Likely to be cheaper than internet with show offers or not?

Going on the 25th. Fly down from Edinburgh in the morning, attend show, fly home in the evening. Cheaper than the train and overnight in hotel.

I'm going the 26th. The only day a bunch of us could get off together and the only day with no special guests I want to listen to. Damn it. Ps take food. Last year I got something stupid like a 10 quid hot dog that was tiny and pathetic. When I pay for a wiener I want a proper mouthful....wait a minute...

Never been to this, are there usually many bikes available for test rides? Bit of a trek up from Kent, on a 125! laugh 2.5 hours of 11k rpm at 70mph might be a bit much. wobble

According to the website there's a "test ride zone" and the Yamaha MT tour and off road experience.

Yes, there have been demo bikes at NEC Show you can take out for years off and on.

I'll keep an eye out for the list of bikes available, can imagine they book up rather quickly!
