Wasn't that impressed with the show last year to be honest. It was just wall to wall race bikes, nothing of interest to normal trail riders, and total indifference from the industry to the legal threats to the hobby.

Added to the 15 quid entry fee, the general attitude seemed to be to fleece the punters for as much cash as possible.

I didn't go last year but have been previous years. Seemed like a good place to aquire cheap off road kit and not a lot more

AGREED(with caps!!)
It's just like a big MX hypermarket with NOTHING being sold cheaply.Barely anything to suit the trailriders although the TRF had a stand which was mainly built up through the TBM forum.....credit where credit is due and all that.

Very good point, the TRF stand was good and they made quite a few quid for the TRF's fighting fund

I won a bottle of 2 stroke oil in their raffle. Had to buy a 2 stroke bike to use it in.
