    This may sound very unpatriotic , but this show is a "pile of pish" , it has been getting slowly worse over the last few years , but in 2007 it was the bloody pits.

    Honda did not even bother to show !! ( in what is supposed to be a National show !!!) , and I understand they do not consider it worthwhile again this year.

    BMW and KTM were the only real exibitors last year.

    I'm going to be out of the country , but even if I was at home , I would give it a miss this year.
    2011 Triumph Tiger 800 - "Black Pussy" - MMMM Nice !!!
    2000 Suzuki DRZ400S - "Ol' Yella" - very bright
    2011 Peugeot V-Clic 50cc - "Scoot" - It's my wife's, an enjoyable ride.

    I have a house , but I can't guarantee it's safe !!

    I'm very disappointed that it could be poor but I need a helmet & I'm told there are always bargains about. Checked the exhibitors tab, BMW GB and Honda are on the list

    Maybe they have got there act together, I will be giving it a try, need the helmet. I'll let you know how it goes...

    You will cetainly get a bargin lid no problem - just make sure you save more than the £15 entry !! This used to be a cracking show , I have been every year since it started - but over the last 4 years or so it has just gone steadily down hill . I came away last year and said to myself that I would not go this year , so I'll be interested to hear if you think it has cleaned up it's act.
