Been today, well worth a visit, very busy and sure beats looking out the window at the rain and wind :)

I went today (Saturday). Can't say I was over impressed, it seems to be getting smaller every year, and £15 to park, daylight robbery!!!!!! If I'd only been going to the bike show i'd have been well p'd off, but the London Dive Show was on as well, and I managed to get a few bits there to make the trip worthwhile.

..I thought it was a waste of 20quid.
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."

 :agree

I stopped going to these shows years ago it's just about making money the venues are too small everything is crammed in, food drink and parking are extortionate!

Its dear for what it was. I went with some mates so it was also a day out ...but can think of many better ways to spend cash these days. Food was horrendously expensive too. You Londoners must be rolling in it to pay such.
On the plus side there were lots of really interesting custom bikes , not just jazzy choppers but some real oddballs too. Had a chance to look and sit on a S1000R...sorry it looks pants full stop. Might be 160 bhp, but it just looks wrong. Its very Z1000 alike at the front too.Not noticed that before

Was impressed by zx1000SX...gorgeous green . Its pretty much a modern fazer alternative now its sorted suspension wise and has almost enough power . Like the panniers . Am very interested, must admit. Abs, power modes...yup its a gud one.

saw lots of TT stars there, got several autographs, they were all very approachable, and got me picky taken with stalker. Lovely chap, I wish him well.  :)
