Hoping to go after work tomorrow (Friday). As it's my first day it may not look too good pushing to finish a meeting early so i can go and play. Whatever.
Sadly bike still in Ireland so workwear only for me.
last time I went was maybe 5 years ago but picked up a pair of IXS leather pants for £30 which I still wear. Looking out for a flip face lid this time.
Myself and Kirst One will be there early doors Saturday looking for some riding gear ( waterproof -not necessarily lined as i have some good thermal kit). If it is nice, on the GS otherwise train(why if it is nice? I'm looking for bad weather riding kit and am not riding there in the nude!). See youse there.

Wasted a tenner getting in this lunchtime, spent half an hour wandering aimlessly looking at the usual 'Nitro' and GJC or whatever crap they are offloading, quite a few stalls selling very dodgy cheapo riding gear, tool stalls selling spanners that'd be more use of made of plasticine, well you get my drift......
did buy muc off 5 litres at BOGOF, so £20 for 10 litres, other than that,,,,,tat
....in your opinion.
On the other hand,I`ve always enjoyed it...and found plenty of things to see and buy (at good prices) ... whereas I detest the NEC Show vehemently and wouldn`t go to it nowadays even if you paid for me to get in.

and the chester harley shop is long gone unless they moved sorry
Moved to Junction 9 ( I fink ) of the M53 ..the junction for Cheshire Oaks.
Rushy went a while ago and it was only a kind of office type set up....but it may have a showroom now.
For Harley and Buell,you`d probably be better off going to Manchester Harley Davidson (actually in Stockport) near Junction 27 of the M60.
One word CRAP, save your tenner and your petrol/train cost, go to your dealer and bargin, they operate with at least a 33% mark up and buisness is quiet at his time of year and they need to shift unsold stock, it works, I've just got a new set of revitt leathers two piece for under £300 and got £100 trade in for my old ones and no I neither elfin like or jumbo sized.!
I need kit for a run in a few weeks time and so took heed of the posts and stayed in trawling the web (i think surfing may be a bit ambicious{you know what i mean}). Nice new jacket and leggings on way along with Oxford Handlebar Muffs. All at sale prices, minus the haggling.

Well, it was deffo worth the tenner for me....... I bumped into people I've not seen since last summer, had a great time chatting/watching the totty & got a pair of BT010's for £130. Also picked up some decent tools for a good price so it was just a shame that the weather was so crap.
