NEC Bike Show

[Jon_W]

Went yesterday and it was deffinately lacking in some areas. No Harris, not as many race bikes as the last couple of years, nobody was giving anything away appart from the odd poster and as for the lycra clad promo girls, wouldn't give you tuppence for 'em. The shoe shiners and Mr anti fog wax wern't there either so that was a bonus.

However, bargain galore on some stands. Picked up a pair of kevlar Jeans for £50, J+S are doing BKS leathers for £199! There were loads of boots and helmets too. If you need some gear then go, if you're hoping to see some all new metal, forget it. They all look identical to the bikes they were doing 2 years ago. Even the 1199 looks similar to it's predecessor.

Saw those. Looked good. The Shoe shines were there, just tucked away in a corner. Best place.

Harris were there, it was just a smaller than normal stand.

Like you I thought the big bikes were, on the whole a dissapointment. The new stuff was in the small bike and scooter parts.

Going up in the morning for a few hours, never been before (virgin, like Tina) and am easily pleased too ;D

Just hope to see some nice sports bikes I can't afford and have a general look see. Maybe some new gloves if there are some "exta special almost give them away for nothing and by a lycra clad lady too" bargains to be had ;D
