Cyul, let me know if you're going and we can maybe hook up at some stage. :)

Well, you didn't miss much..! :mad:

Just the one hall at Excel, which had dealer stands from only Honda, Yamaha, Suzuki, Kawasaki and Piaggio. There were no special bikes on show either - just the usual suspects (although The Asgard's R1 was there - bootiful! :xthumb: ).

The remainder of the exhibition was devoted to small retail stores flogging out-of-season stock, it seemed. Very disappointing in general. It may just be the first year of the show, but they'll need to do a LOT better if they want to persuade a bunch of bikers to cough up another 10 squids - we're a pretty canny lot, I reckon and can certainly tell when something's only half-baked! :D

Final Verdict? :xtsk: :nooo:

sounds like it was a good job my car blew up then :)

the damn thermostat housing broke away while i was driving so i lost all my water and had to limp home very carefully, just spent the day fixing it :(

I just hate it when that happens... :mad: Hope it's all sorted now.

In truth, I woke up with such a hangover that I had second thoughts on going, anyway. It was only because I wanted to check out the bike I intend to buy soon that I headed on over. And then it wasn't even there (nuts to KTM...)! But I did spot the 20 grand Bennelli I should be winning tomorrow..! :D
