Went down today. 2.5 hours there. 2.5 hours back. 2.5 hours at the show.

Went with the express hope of getting a test ride (or two) but I was about 80th in a queue for (what turns out was) 55 places.

Gutted.  :'(

Still, nice to see loads of bikes and sat on quite a few. Most seemed to lean way forward.

Best bike ...was at home in the garage.

Ho hum.

Didn't get nabbed for working there this year, and didn't fancy getting ripped off for myself. Last show I went to off my own back was the Ally Pally one, oooooh, in the dim and distant recesses of time!

I was supposed to go with a mate on Friday, but I was ill so never made it.  He said he wished he hadn't bothered, nt impressed at all.


I went to Ally Pally, ooh, 11 years ago.  Thought that was fantastic.
