No point in going by bike unless you have to. Waste of good tyres on the motorway and then sweat your nuts off when you get there clumping round in bike gear. Four people in the car, split the fuel cost.Sorted. :lol

Yeah over 60's railcards are good if you use the train network enough. I had one for 5 years or so, primarily for away football matches. They certainly make train travel a lot more reasonable especially if you book in advance.......let the train take the strain.

Was there today. Took out the new MT-10 SP and a VFR1200X Crossrunner. Picked up some leather jeans at a decent price and got a good deal on some and brake pads so all in all a good visit. The show hasn't really changed since the last time I went 3 years ago
