Ok whos going and what dates?

I'll be there Saturday.

Just going for some replacement boots for the ones holed in the accident and a shufti at the RC8 that KTM are bringing out

i was thinking about it, dont think i will go though.

Mk, We will be thier on Sat 2nd, That pic of the KTM looks very much like an RAC Bike ?

I think about going to the London bike shows (only one this year) every year but I never go.

Went to the NEC one about 4 years running till I started to wonder why........

I prefer to spend my free weekends at rallies now, they have some great bike shows and stalls and are a lot more fun.

BG, I know what you mean as they can be very much the same, the lad next door asked me to go so I kinda said yes...

Im looking for some leathers but not RED.

How you gettin there mate? takin your bike?

I was at the London show a few years back when it was still at the Alexandra Palace....
was good though, bought loads of good bargains, really cheap stuff..

Has anyone been to this London show before? Is it worth the effort to get a deal on leathers, gloves or lid?

There's your answer


Not me, I don't do "shopping" well, not until the BMF shows are on

Went to the NEC so I won't be going.

And at £18 to get in???? WTF are they thinking???

RC8 is amazing, if you get the chance have a go on the pillion seat

i'm gonna be there on the 3rd. Going with the North London Honda Owner's club. Riding down as a group in the morning. Should be good fun.

I need some gloves, and gonna look for any bargains on anything

Not me, i am going to the Motorcycle Expo at the NEC this weekend, a trade only show i have tickets for.

I shall be there on the 31st Jan. I'm going there with a mate who also passed his test last year and he's on the look for some bargains. Not wanting to sound to blokey I'm just going to look at the bikes and any other nice sights there.

I think we are going on the 27th (sunday, its the only full day when neither of us are working!)

On the 27th TBC?

Can I join you guys then? It'd be brilliant to have a wander round without all the crowds. Just imagine all that peace & quiet!

Failing that, I'll probably crack & go on my only day off- Thurs 31st.

Excel starts on the 31st to 3rd Tiny where you going on the 27th?



I'll be there on 31st with junior.

Just bought the tickets online.

JPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


Taking the bike mate, If you want to tag a long your more than welcome. I want to check out some leathers mate, and the totty! dont tell the wifeeeeee....

I'm going on the 3rd
i'll be hoping to get there for about 8:30ish
so i can have a fag and a brew first

I went there last year......

it was OK,,, but not sure I will go this year...........

Plus I went to the NEC last Nov,,,


anyway since I live in London I might only decide on the day.....

Plus £18 is a bit expensive,,,,,

It should be better than last year as they split the Excel and Ally Pally shows this year there is only the Excel and next year the Ally Pally.

I paid £14 each + £1 online.



We should decide to wear something to recognise anyone from UK Bike?

Suggestions on a postcard to

Black Rose's

I like that

A white sports coat with a pink carnation?

Ladies stockings over our heads

OK OK OK I meant the 4th, EB told me it was the last weekend in january, and according to my sums thats the 27th I now know its the First weekend in Feb when we go.

well ive decided not to go, i'll just wait for the bike show here in Scotland in March, was a good bloody do last year so hopefully this one will be good too

Come on down and blow those cobwebs out of your ears go on you know it makes sense. Im going on Sat 2nd hopfully JP will be going as well, make a weekend of it.

i'll be there on the 3rd
if ya see a dirty ol J plate TDM 2up being followed by 3 125s give us a toot

Back from the show, saw all I wanted to but didnt think it was any better than last year and doubt I shall go again next.

My son bought a coke £1:80p just because your captive in a show why do they rip everyone off.

i'll be in a black leather jacket and blue jeans..............

I went yesterday (Thursday) between 4:30pm and 7pm. It looked the same as the NEC show to me (as you would probably expect), but on a smaller scale. Watched some of the MCN babes being interviewed then picked my jaw up from the floor had a walk around.

Never done a track day but would like to do one this year so purchased an Alpinestars "Stage" one-piece leather suit. £299.99. Very happy and really looking forward to using it

Had a word with the guy at the Universal Tyres stand. Believe he's the owner. They're the ones I buy my tyres from (user/store RoundAndBlack on eBay) and are cheaper than anywhere else I've searched.

As far as bikes go, I like the look of the BMW HP2 Sport:

But at over £14,000 OTR I wouldn't buy one just yet. Would like to get a newer grey/silver R1 or maybe a GSX-R1000.

Ah I'll be not far from there tomorrow.

Won't be going though... picking up the GSX

Would that be Reading Honda?

Life is a bitch some times, I just got into bed last night and the phone went,,,I was called out to a customers site and got back home at 5:30

well cheesed off.

No, bit further along; George White Swindon.

BTW it's a hell of an easy bike to ride, as long as you've got a delicate touch in the right hand

Awesome bike E&B.

Scouse,

Sorry for the satellite delay - haven't logged on for a while - busy weekend. I enjoyed meeting up too and appreciate you getting me back to central Reading from Finn's. Now off to look at your bike show picture thread...
