Nope, not been yet. I can imagine me coming back with a ton of stuff and the missus saying "But you haven't got a bike ..." and then the penny drops

Got to be careful though round your way, far too many lakes and thats not including the river at The Bridge.
Well hello ladies
Nice pics of the bikes as well LW
Well at least it looks like there were a few bikes at the girl show this year...
Gosh that BMW 1600 dash is fugly ! !
just got back from bike show . had a good look at the new triumph throphy and was not impressed one bit . i thought it was bland and had a lot of old style bits on , did anybody give the panniers a touch and see how much they wobbled about . gtr looks far sharper . also did any body see all the loveley bits of carbon fibre on the zzr1400 on the power bronze stand . the belly pan plus top infill black plastics was great , i asked the boss man to get some made for the gtr he said he would think about it .. :biker3:
What did anyone think of the 1190 KTM?
Great pics, I wouldn't want to be the one to lace that wheel in picture # 7
Rusty looks like he enjoys being gently massaged :mfr_lol:
Nightrider, I think the panniers on the new Trophy are designed to be loose, its summat to do with stability or whatever..someone correct me if I'm wrong as it does sound a little strange
