Yea these days they seem to be more akin to walking into a dealership but paying for the privalage.

Haven't ventured to it for the last 5 years. Motorbike gave us ample explanation, as to why ! Sad but true.

I have not been for years either, just this morning a mate phoned to say he had free tickets but I still did not bother going.

Was there today, it was very busy.

Bought a Furygan cold master jacket seems a good buy, 378 Euros at FC moto which is usually cheap (£235 at show).

Classic bikes were good and autojumble pretty extensive.

Went about 3 or 4 years ago. Sounds like nothing's changed although I did meet Simon Pavey, which was good, and I also met Nick Sanders, which was also good. I remember him being on Blue Peter years ago when he was in to cycling round the world. (thumbs)
I've no idea how to add a signature.

Went today and actually thought it was ok, however, as I said in an earlier post, I had free tickets so that possibly influenced my thinking.
