This Monday, not sure if its going to be a trip on the bike or in the car yet. All depends on the weather.

I was there yesterday, though in the car as my wife and children came too. Had a good day as usual, the MotoX guys were amazing, plus lots of stars about signing autographs. Cal Crutchlow was swamped, but John McGuiness and Randy Mamola seemed very approachable.

No stunning bargains that leapt out at me, though I did buy myself a new Schuberth C3 Pro. Thought it was about time I invested in a decent lid.

I quite liked the new graphite grey colour for the GTR, but it is nowhere near enough to persuade me to swap. The 10R and S1000RR were much more tempting for me.

All the experience stuff was booked up very early, so if anyone is fancying the off-roading etc, get there early.

Reasonable show this year although they have tried to spread it out to make it look fuller. Usual tatt / clearance, but wow i got some great bargains at the kawasaki shop. kawasaki Winter gloves rode home with them on,  my hands were like toast RRP £49, Paid £25. Kawasaki Amsterdam Trousers RRP£155  Paid £60, brilliant!!. Angie got a pair if Dainese Galveston Gore Tex trousers RRP£200  Paid £140. Well worth the visit, especially the Kawasaki shop, although they had no umbrellas i needed a couple for the cars.
