Me and Mrs OnHellas have been every year for about 20 years.
We usually wonder why we bothered within 10 minutes of being there, but always have a good day out looking at all the new bikes.

Not going this year due to being away. I'm gong to miss it I think.

For the last few years I have gone from work so drive a minibus. I always park in the station car park, it is cheaper, 8 quid last year and from the station it is an undercover 5 min walk to the show. Just remember to pay for your car park ticket at the machines in the station as you leave.
Cheers Jak

It is there and I think it is sweet and probably is worth the asking price of 7599.

Also don't know if it's worth noting but the rear shock also has a remote preload adjuster.

At the risk of falling hook line and sinker.

I pay to look at exotic bikes, a few shows, and a lot of Broad St lap dancers in lycra. The fact every run of the mill new bike is there without me having to drive all round the country to different bike dealerships, and you get the odd kit bargain, is just a bonus.

Though what I really pay for is to see the excitement and happiness on my sons face because he's being taken to a motorbike show.

I Just got back, car park was quiet and the walk in from South 7, the halls were quiet too but having seen what's on display can understand why ?

Other than the big OEM's there wasn't much for me to see, I wanted to see the what the new iron monger's had to offer, but other than Herald that was it, and apart from the usual accessory stalls not much else. Very few bargains about that you couldn't match or better online, (there were Sidi Adventure Goretex boots for £240)

I didn't pre-book, so £12 parking and £25 admission for a 2 hr walk about, I can't say was great value, oh the nice man on the Mitas stand did give me a free Tee-Shirt for being a good customer (thumbs) !
