Motorcycle Live 2016 NEC

[Trev]

Went Thursday, not too busy, nice look at the shiny new bikes (everything ABS & euro 4 now) and grabbed some bargains; two each of ACF50, Silkolene chain lube, Oxford battery conditioner & Oxford security chains all for fifty quid - well chuffed.

Best of all bagged myself a RUkka Armaxion suit for an absolute steal £1150, along with the extra sixth year guarantee and cleaner/reproofer thrown in! Very nearly went for the Dane Goretex Pro 'non toury thing' which, at £800 show price, seemed a great suit but couldn't resist the Armaxion at the best price I've ever seen by a mile. Now just need to say goodbye to the trusty HG Goretex suit but it's a bit like that snug pair if old trainers compared to the shiny new pair, can't quite yet bring myself to make the switch :unsure:

Holy crap Batman. A few weeks ago I paid £1000.00 for a 2003 Ducati 750 Supersport in excellent condition with new battery fitted and new MOT. (thumbs)

Is that the Goretex Pro one?

Hi SteveW

Hope you have better luck than my mate Paul he was at the CCM factory last Friday picking his new bike up stayed at mine Friday night them he took it home happy days ? Well out for a ride on Friday afternoon and it broke down yep 9miles on her and the battery is fuxxed B) :dry: he has been to the show today but not sure how he has gone on

That's a bummer.
I guess that's a bit of bad luck on his part and CCM's really......a duff battery can pop up on any bike.
Hopefully that's just a hiccup!

CCM gave me a replacement battery at the show and even offered to come down and fit it at my place - that's service for you

Wait 'til he's nine. On Saturday I couldn't be bothered to go, but had to otherwise he'd have been gutted. Did have a good day out though.

Well me NEC bargains didn't turn out quite as planned. Having got a pair of Keis gloves for £100 I was looking for to warm hands this week but ended up with a warm hand. The left glove didn't work, so they are going back to Infinity m/cs for a refund. The Spada jacket and trousers that I got from the Adventure Bike Shop lasted two days before the main zip on the jacket broke, so back that goes. Is it me or is all modern stuff crap? I bought a new CCM in the summer and have had more grief with that than the 25 year old Guzzi I bought last October.
Cheers Jak
