Most of us have to go UP to the NEC :lol: :lol:

Only problem with riding up I always found, was you cant buy anything as it never fits on the bike, I think most tend to drive up.

I for one will defo be going

you reckon its worth paying the extra and going on preview day?

I went to NEC on trade day last year and there was loads of room and no over crowding, got some great photos :D

We went to Expo this year and it was rubbish. Hardly any maufactures there. NEC is deffinitly better.

Or is trade expo a compleatly different show? :?

trade expo is completely different mike, it was at stoneleigh but moves to the nec next year and its for trade only so you can see new stuff and get your deals,its the place colin and gary would go too

the bike show is worth a look but i'd be suprised if theres any bargains to be had with the price of having a stall there. worth going just for the girls i'd say

I could be up for going as I missed it last year. Although I'll be moving to Salisbury that weekend :?

Perhaps I'll become a member of South Bikers? Doesn't have the same ring to it somehow!!

There's about 6 of us going up on the 24th.. as it's my 43rd on the 25th.. figure THAT one out!
We should be going up by bike, but if not, the two cars will be...
Any bikes going past Bridgwater, to the NEC on the 24th, then drop us a line?
