Dribbles mopped, we dashed round trying out some of the hundreds of bikes on display - S1000, R 1200 R, GSX-R, Monster, R1, ER-6n, Z1000 to name a few:
Fortunately our friend Elaine had managed to book the indoor Enduro course earlier, so we watched while she had a go:

Holographic snake oil not our cup of tea, we sought refreshment at the George White bar:
Harry the rebel wanted a go on the GSX-R1000:
Yes, the one labelled "THE FASTEST ROAD RACING SUPERBIKE ON THE PLANET - PLEASE DO NOT TOUCH" :
From one extreme to the other:
Even kids could have a go, on-road or off-road:
But this was as close as I got. :One day I'll try it for real.
