My thoughts....
...
I have had nearly 24 hours to think about the show.
Most important bit for me is layout.
Layout was shit.
Food.....Ate outside the actual show, but within the NEC, it wasn`t hugely expensive, but it was very tasty.....Ethnic dishes seem to be the best
Show girls/models......Not massively attractive and easy to upset.
Tat, plenty of it, shame there was not anything of any real quality, it all looked a bit 'markety'
Bikes....Plenty of them.
Why do so many manufacturers insist on Baboons Arse headlamps????
Thunderbirds rear lamp lenses?
Making the bikes so fucking small.....Still
Plastic, plastic as far as the eye could see....I want a metal bike that would survive a little nudge without shattering into a thousand parts
The New Indian, should have been aborted, because that's what it looks like.
Harley Davidson.....Every model seems to come with a dyed Pink Poodle, definitely after the pink pound that lot, gayer than a gay thing in rainbow colours.
BMW.....Sound guy on the stand, had a good piss take and the bikes were OK, but too much fucking plastic
Yamaha......Infact all the jap stuff, plastic cheap tat really, at every level.
Cheap Chinese bikes.....Just that.
Moto Guzzi, best bikes there, they were not trying to be something they are not, they were just being Guzzis
As for the rest of the show.....Well, it is just a bike show.
I will add however, I had a good look at the Morgan 3 wheelers. Anybody who pays full price for one of those would never, ever notice a cactus being pushed sideways up their arse.....Looked bloody awful, talk about paying for a name Pile of shit.
