Well I went yesterday, really quiet , seemed to be more Asian's selling cheap leathers than in the past, no MV and Yamaha only had 1 R1 and 1 R6 on their stand, pretty small for a big manufacturer. Ducati stand and girls were the best . . . . all in all a decent day out.

Its all about things we cant have !!

Agree with the above comment on Asian stands. It was like walking around a Sunday market.

I'm confused...... Didn't you know what to expect???...........I'd have expected even more Asians, the big four are all Asian!!!

That was what I meant by feeling a bit short changed though  knew what I was going too, there are a lot of very repiticious stands selling clothing and a lot of stands with M/C's on, no surprises there. I think the show is great if you want to see new models and sit on them IF you dont' live close to dealerships, great if you have just bought a new bike that you want to kit out and great if you just want to oggle brolly dollies and bikes with a beer. I left this year feeling like I'd paid a lot of money just to buy things that I could have bought on the net. I won't bother next year but nevertheless it's a day out.

Well yes I knew what to expect but I've never seen so many gents from India or Pakistan selling cheapo leathers before, could have seen that at Birkenhead market . . . . and there was the "you try on, you try on" a few times too . Usual guys airbrushing leather jackets and T shirts were absent too as were Silvermans etc. Guess its all gone a little expensive for them.

Watched it eurosport from the comfort of my sofa, saved 19 quid entrance, 7 quid parking and countless pounds of tat I don't need/can order on line anyway. Just missed the Travelderi stand with Austin vince and the hotties in lycra.

That is all.

I went the first Sat wasn't impressed at all .... The year before the meet was the best year for talent and the year we all met was the best year for Banter

 Not much there to be honest. Got there at 10.30ish and could easily have seen everything, had a pint and been out by 2ish.
 Stands were small not many trade stands and not a lot of good offers.

 Hopefully next year will be better as the R1, Blade and Gixer should all be due a major overhaul not just minor changes and colours.
