NEC Bike show

Thanks WB, I'm going on Wednesday in the van with my lad, hoping for some kit bargains (new helmet for him, jacket for his girfriend, some winter gloves for me to replace the ones he borrowed!) + service bits and bobs, coupe of optimisers, cleaning fluid, etc.
Glad you enjoyed the AT, have had mine (DCT) for just over year now and, when I've not ridden it for a while, it always amazes me with just how competent it is in almost every situation. Not done much off raod on it though (dry, easy green lanes only) as it's still a bit of lump and I have road biased tyres on it.

Blimey! Sounds like you'll need the van.
Be sure to shop around. You'd think that all the stands would be similarly priced but they varied wildly.

I had the chance to ride the DCT but bottled it. I'm not very good at embracing change. Really wish I'd ridden it now though.

If you've got one of those 'ride a mates bike' insurance policies then you can try mine out sometime, doesn't make us mates though : )

I'm fully comp on any bike so Sounds good to me.
You can have a go on mine too but riding it means we're best mates forever!

ha ha, that's fine, I've sort of given up the crouchy fast things due to lack of neck mobility, talent and balls ; )

Haven't ridden it all year, only took the thou out a few times

I'm going to get my local guy to go right through the 11 and make it a shiny, sunny day show toy so it may end up just something for me to polish. May also keep the thou permanently off the road as well and restrict my thrills to sub 120 - kmh of course

I've been having similar thoughts about my thou, not as extreme as permanently off the road but use it alot less. I think I've got a bit desensitised to the speed/power and find myself doing dumb **** on it far too often. I want an Enfield or something similar for a while but HRH won't let me get another bike currently and I can't bring myself to sell any of the current ones.

We should go for a ride sometime, it's been far too long.
