NEC Show Yesterday

[Jono]

Sunday is normally the day for so called "bargains", make sure you shop around prior to going to make sure it really is. :lick:

The girly from the sun also approached me with a sun newspaper, "have one there free", she squealed. "No thanks, just been to the gents and there was plenty of paper left".

Has anyone been to the London bike show before and can anyone tell me if it's better than the NEC?:dunno:

went to the london bike show the year before last.....not very good IMHO.. not as big or as much to see as in the NEC,but having said that..the NEC has been going down hill over the last few years.it seems they are out pricing themselves putting the smaller trader off going there..and thats where a lot of the bargains were to be had.

London Bike Show

I have been to the last two London shows and felt that last years wasn't as good. Having said that it was better than the NEC this year!

London is geared more towards racing, although there are still plenty of 'ordinary' stalls. IMHO it is a good show for getting yourself a deal as most of the manufacturers will be bringing out their new ranges a few months after the show so most of the stands want to get shot of last years stock.

For some reason I thought the Triumphs looked good today, except the triple four! Strange looking bike........ gave that one one of Wolfie's "M" awards.

Was good to see Honda putting something in for free, namely the early steps rider training they were doing for the little kids! Togging them up with safety gear and maintaining a hands on to the bike, (and a safety cut out cord was held by another guy behind), they helped the kids ride around a little course complete with zebra crossings, roundabouts, traffic light etc, - on great little bikes too. Not just a free play ride either - they gave them some proper spoken tuition, at least when they could maintain the little darlings attention. They were then given a little card licence! I was impressed with all that for some reason!!

Amusing highlight of the day was when I walked past The Sun stand just 5 mins after arriving. One of their girlie's thrust a copy of the paper at me and said "have a free paper, and catch up on todays news when you have a coffee".......... "actually," say's I, "I've got some news or you, as it happens. Your editor has just been arrested and is in Police custody for attacking her hubby!"

"Whaaat" she say's giggling, "that's an outrageous thing to say, you're joking?" "About as outrageous as some of your front page stories really, but, unlike most of those, this is true!" I said, grinning.

She got her boss over and I explained what I'd heard as breaking news on the radio in the van whilst parking just 20 mins before. He was gobsmacked.

I gave them the paper back and said "no ta - you're FAR too slow", and strode off. They really didn't know quite how to take me at all.

Amusing I thought.

Classic ROFLMAO
:bow: :bow: :bow:

BTW..... who was the mean asshole that rode into the show car park on a Red "S" reg Bird yesterday (thurs) at about 11.40 am???...... in that terrible wind and rain, all done up nicely in good looking gear, including BOOTS, while his poor missus was on the back with just white trainers on her feet and no socks!!

How could you.......
