Scatty and I went yesterday.
I love the Bike Show, such a good day out.
Sat on Indians, KTMs, Yamahas (you know, all the latest fastest, shiniest stuff)
Honda stand too clinical (as per dealers). Not much on Kawasaki or Suzuki stand turned my head.
Triumph stand was good but again nothing really new.
Harley stand was confusing as to whats for sale and whats for show.
Guzzi Griso very nice to look at, as was V4 Aprilia Tuono.
ACE Cafe tent excellent as were other custom bike displays and Coventry Museum exhibits.
Spent an imaginary £50K budget in about 5 mins.
Most kit for sale was usual tat but some nice stuff hidden away amongst all the rubbish.
It was nice and quiet, room to walk around all day, DONT GO ON SAT/SUN!!
Scatty liked the Indians, Triumph Trophy, Guzzi California and the scooters.

same as above, although I have to say I went up on the satuday expecting it to be heaving (but I couldn't wait one more day to go drool over 'MY' 1290 superduke BUT there was loads of room not like the old days, not sure if that's a good or a bad thing.. _________________ The Resident Forum Ghost |
