Off to the NEC on Saturday, hope to pick up some bargains and taking the car (a lovely brown Volvo!) to lug it all back and fit a couple of mates in.
Mind you at £16 a ticket and £10 parking I'll need to buy quite a bit to make it worthwhile
Will have licence with me so hope to try a couple of bikes out on the test rides if not too fully booked.

I'll check it out as happy to act as courier for those going up by bike who just can't resist that bulky bargain - providing they can collect from Blandford area some timeOriginally Posted by Dabz

Yup ridden a couple of times but probably won't do again as each time I turned down a bargain as couldn't get it home. Besides I'm just over 150 miles away from NEC, more on 'interesting' roads, which means a crappy slog on dual carriageways and motorways if I want a decent amount of time at the show and then the 'dance of the bungee straps' and a slow ride home if I buy much.
To all those riding up, stay safe, enjoy the show and the ride

Had good day out at the NEC yesterday, picked up some textile trousers and boots for the other half for a decent price and she came along to ensure a good fit.
I got a pair Red Route kevlar combats for £50 (J&S). Always fancied a pair but not certain I would use them often or get the right fit so opportunity to try a few styles and a get a good price was too good to miss.
Also picked up four paddock stands (cheapie versions) for £70 and a few workshop tools and sundries at decent prices.
One tip is that if you're hoping to test ride a bike I suggest you pre-register, certainly if you're visiting at the weekend. I arrived at 11am and by then all 'over 125cc bikes' were booked.
