Trotting off to the bike show shortly so bound to come back skint 

[Strifae]

We went on Sunday and it wasn't as good as previous years to be honest, although nice to see some of the new bikes and did get a 1 piece suit for £150 which I thought was pretty decent 

[snapper]

I havent been to the nec bike show for years ! every year I think about going but never do
 
150 for a one piece maybe i'll have to think again for next year !
 
I like the peterbought BMF , but I havent been for a few years , its is becoming to much of a car boot sale and time is alway had to come by .
 
 

[FuZzBoM]

go to the J&S stand near suzuki. i got a Richa jacket for £50
and on alpha motorcycles stall got £160 tcx boots for £110..

there is also a stand selling muc-off 2x5 litre bottles for £25!!

"there is also a stand selling muc-off 2x5 litre bottles for £25!!"
 
 never been that impressed with muc off !
 

[Strifae]

Yeah the £150 1 piece really impressed me and it was a Wolf Racing one too - so not totally cheap non-branded either. I was lucky though they only had 3 sizes left one of which happened to fit me lol.
 
They have Alpinestar ones for £250 up as well, including some more recent ones (nice looking) for £350.
 
Helmets weren't great though, better deals online compared to show.
 
I find Muc Off is rubbish, the only stuff I have ever used that works as advertised is that German stuff which is really expensive (can't remember the brand) but its like a gel and literally washes off clean

[Strifae]

This is the one, picture yoinked just for reference

[MarchRide]

Whoever is going, please take some pics of the lycra ladies.

It was ok had been round in 3 hours which surprised us J&S clearing suits, jackets @£40 and helmets @£30/£10 plus gloves and other things not bought much except an Shoei Multitech.

You mean the s-doc stuff its proper good stuff and I'd never use muc-off on anything it's too corrosive.

I went today as well not very busy at all no Q-ing for tickets and I was able to sit on every bike without having to wait not like previous years when i rarely sat on anything a few new bikes the gs looked impressive but no price probably 15k+ the new ktm adv R looked impressive as well,  I did like the yam tenere 12 world crosser with all its bling and the new fjr with the akro's the guys on the fjr owners club let me hussle it off the centre stand and sit on it, I did like it but tbh new bikes are very expensive now I'm mean over 10k for a BMW scooter ! And when you think 15k for a bike to use only seasonal !

One thing this years lacks is female models showing the camels toe LoL probably a health and safety thing.

I forgot to take my camera this year,  the lasses on the MCN stand were stunning.

Bought a Shark Vision R  from Bikersgear near main Shark stand. Wanted £210, but someone standing next to me said offer £160! Offer accepted, saved £50 just like that, reminded me always to haggle price in future.
