Going on Monday with my work, Guests of Triumph and Ducati D

ElliorR · 24 Nov 2012 at 09:49

I'd rather be a guest of the scantily dressed girls.

Dogbreath · 24 Nov 2012 at 12:55

Now going to China on business on Monday for a week, so won't be able to go. Really quite unhappy about this.

Griffo · 24 Nov 2012 at 16:09

I might go near the last day. Hopefully I can resist buying stuff I don't really need!

whats the sitution on the test rides, 1 ride only or can you test each bike?

anyone have anymore info on the above?

edd1e · 24 Nov 2012 at 19:12

never even knew that you could test ride bikes there tbh.

ElliorR · 24 Nov 2012 at 19:37

I bet if you don't sign up early you miss out.

Foxxy · 24 Nov 2012 at 20:21

I went there today, to be honest with you, I was quite dissapointed.

Unless you want to sit on everybike and really want to compare a few new models it isnt really worth it. For £16 I'd rather fill up the tank and go for a ride out..

It's my first time at the show and so I expected more, like more atmosphere and freebies etc (nothing lavish, just small samples etc)

Pohly · 25 Nov 2012 at 09:15

Went yesterday good day out better than last year in my opion came out with too much expense

new full system exhaust, drift hd ghost cam and a seat cowl but oh well bring on summer

ElliorR · 25 Nov 2012 at 09:34

I set off to go this morning but flooded roads and high gusting winds meant I turned round. Not doing 80 miles in that.

eidolon · 25 Nov 2012 at 16:23

I was there yesterday. Was ok, not really that many decent quality bargains to be had. Lots of £20 gloves and the like but the decent leathers and that were still pretty much the same price that you can get them for in your local bike shop.

edd1e · 25 Nov 2012 at 18:25

I went today - I thought it was a good day out as usual. I wasn't buying anything though as i'm just buying a house atm, saw loads of things I wanted too

Brackish · 25 Nov 2012 at 18:49

Did not go. Woke up late (work nights) so went for a ride but 15 mins into it got annoyed with 2 car drivers. One pulled out on me and the other wanted a race, didn't give him one so he blocked me then cut me up on a roundabout. Idiot, just no need.

Will go to a show in 2013.
