I'm going on the 2nd. I am intrigued by this Suzuki free ticket thing as I also have a Gixxer. Presumably it's only open to those who have bought a new bike?

As I remember it has to be a GSX-R sportsbike so a GSX1300R Hayabusa isn't eligible as an example. It has to have been imported officially through Suzuki GB, you need the exact date of first registration.

Wasn't sure whether they checked with DVLA whether address on V5 matched the applicant for ticket. Might still give it a try on a mate'a GSX-R750 that is hibernating in the corner.

Had to put details of V5 on Suzuki website which they verified. They the. Sent a voucher to my Le-mail address, which is named and serialised (to prevent copying).

If you fancy sharing a car/parking from Donny services, we could hook up?

Also the offer finished last Friday.

Meanwhile ........ £12 car parking!

Park here for free, either at the station or on street:

and get the train one stop in. Just as quick as the crappy NEC car parks plus walk / manky coach, and much cheaper.

Damn, I have a GSX-R750 as well. If only I knew before buying a ticket a few weeks ago.

Nice idea - but the train is £4 return, so only really makes sense if you have no friends.

[Chicken Chaser]

I pay £15 for a bus from Middlesbrough. I can sleep on the way down, have a few beers whilst there and get home knowing it cost me less to drive and park!

How much they pay you to return...?

Fortunately I dont live in Boro, and I only have to visit there when needed.... The surrounding area is beautiful though.

A cheap day return's only £2.10, so you could afford to be a little bit sociable...

not at the prices they charge for a beer an a burger at the nec.

I will be going with wife an the kids. As kids are 1 and 3 they are free and its one of the few places you go where tnhey can touch and climb on stuff and not get shouted at.

My daughter likes the red bikes :-)

Suzuki came and picked my SRAD up today, I won a contest to have my bike on their stand for the duration and got 2 free tickets as well! Result!

[FunkyNige]

Arai are doing their free service again -

Thanks for that, I didn't know this was available so I've just booked it.

[jargle]

If you ride there, they have an unused hall with free parking and £1 for helmet drop ( if I recall correctly) - you walk out into the main lobby area, 1 minute into the show.

Well worth it if you don't live to far away - pretty cool being waved through security..

[johnnyr6]

I'll be heading down from Glasgow on the 4th with a couple of mates. We just load the bike gear in the back of the car and throw it on once we get there..

[GazzaMogzy]

Heading down early on the 28th, had tickets from Honda as my old man pre-ordered an Africa Twin, breakfast included as well! Hopefully get my name down for a ride on a 1299 or SuperDuke while we're there.

The link for the free GSXR tickets doesn't seem to be working ATM - anyone know if they've pulled the offer or just a temporary glitch?
