NEC BIKE SHOW

[RemaL]

So who's going and when? I will be there with my brother in law on Friday the 30th

[Rawwr]

Dunno. Last year was massively disappointing: No Italians, no savings on gear and silly money just to get in.

[castrolcraig]

ill be there, freebie-ing it up

ill be taking a sick bag for when i walk past the honda stand though

"ahhhh the new fireblade, it hurts, it hurts my eyes..."

[Twinpipe]

Yeah, was a bit dissappointing last year and I don't even need any new kit!!

Then again I don't have to "need" it to buy it

[FunkyNige]

Reckon I'll be there on the Thursday this year, don't actually need anything but it's an excuse to go sit on the shiny new bikes

[RemaL]

it was my first ever bike show last year and I was impressed. I would be it was my first

and as I did not have a bike then and will be getting a new one nect march it will give me plenty to look at and buy

[996 sps]

I'm going to do a week day, just going to buy a smart painting for the house (Rossi doing a stand up) now im single again I can cover the house in bike pics.......hey may even put the Duke in the front room!

The best one I went to was Earls Court 1985, (I think) all sorts going on, got to sit on a load of GP bikes, and there was shed loads of stuff for sale at reasonable prices.

Went to the NEC at the end of 2003 to have a look at the new (then) R1, after seeing that and the new ZX10/FireBlade, there wasn't much else to do.

Went at the end of 2004, and was so disillusioned that I'm never going again.

I'd rather scrub the block paving with a toothbrush.

they have moved it back to the end of nov this year so it doesnt clash with milan show (that was why the italians were absent before)!!

I will probably go as I need some new textile kit. I also want to look at the new bikes and the entrance price doesn't seem too bad.

I have a reasonable sized patio so, I'm happy to pay for a ticket for you and provide the toothbrush .......

I think I will be giving this a go as I have not been before and it might allow me to pick up a couple of bargins. still do not have a full set of leathers, or a romper suit as my mates call it...

friend and i are going - 1st time . £13 is not bad and it'll be a nice day out. i'm not expecting to pick up any bargains, but wouldn't complain if i found any. plus we get to oogle all the shiny new bikes and maybe sit on a few.

roll on 3 weeks time

I think you may be a little premature! (If you find this is a common problem I understand you can get help for it!! ) The dates for the show are 23 Nov to 2 Dec.

My mate has his test near the end of October so it will be an opportunity to have a look at some nice new bikes to put on the shopping list.... It will be interesting

[RemaL]

after the probs I had with getting a test ride from Fowlers in Bristol ( not had licence for 12 months, but in the next week or 2 I shall have had it long enought). I'm thinking do I test ride at fowlers or wait until I go to the NEC and get it done then? I'm almost sure to get the Speed triple But want to try a few other's before I put my money down.

Suggestions, Do I wait until the NEC or test right now?

Once I know either way I can then buy a few items at the show for the new bike
