Morning,

Who's going? Just booked three tickets and intend to go on Fri 30th... Is anybody able to provide any advice from previous years - things to avoid, check out etc? I notice test rides are available - are these booked on the day? Looking forward to checking out the new RaceFit cans on the 2007 R1.

Cheers,

Rob.

We went last year.

To get the test ride get to the correct stand EARLY to get your name down, we went to the stands at lunch time and all the test rides had been taken within the 1st 30 mins

We went on the Sunday. very busy. Take the bike, there is indoor bike parking next to the main entrance, plus the car park costs £8 and the queues are huge.

We are going on the 23rd this year, more expensive but avoid all the queues. Not sure what else we will lose / gain for going on the preview day.

Think I'll be there on the 23rd...1 piece here we come...and new textiles, maybe a helmet, some boots..oh, and some gloves, ear plugs, visor sh!t, crash bobs for the forks and rear ones (leave it) and as much tarting as I can with the babes there!

I'm not sure if I'm going. I always tend to go in the car, though, just in case I buy anything big.

Make sure you leave some stuff for everyone else!
