Don't forget if you can spare a day this is always worth going to.
I think this year it runs from Nov 27th to Dec 05th ? Something like that !
it has got so much better over the years ... somewhere to put your kit, DECENT food, MCN Babes .... oh .. and some bikes too !
Come on you know it makes sense ... book your ticket online for £15 and have a great day, bring some mates or meet up with other GTR owners off this site. Loads of "stuff" to buy and ideas for the future .. bring your plastic for a great day out !

Which day are you thinking of going?

Rusty

Thursday 02nd December ...in the middle of Rest Days ...I booked my ticket on line some time ago. I hope some of the team are going too so there will definately be a " Met " contingent up there ... if you are going to be there PM/E mail me and we can meet up .. if you wish of course !

I'll be riding up on Tuesday 30th, looking forward to it. Panniers and topbox installed for plenty of goodie room ......

Must keep repeating to myself "don't buy the new ZX10, you don't need the new ZX10" etc.

Martin.
65,000 miles now. Loving this bike.

Looks like I might be able to go after all. Thursday 2nd December being the most likely date. I'll buy a ticket at the  door, just in case the weather is appaling and I have to cancel. But I will be going on the bike.

What do you mean " what's good and what's not " ??  .... It will ALL be good !

Lonewolf

 :( I had planned to go on the bike but cant risk it with the weather at the moment. Looks like the car will be getting a good run instead.

Rusty

If anyone gets to the NEC please let us know what it was like ... there are NO trains from the south coast to London so I am stuck down here for a few days with no chance of getting anywhere near a bike ... perhaps the bike show in London at The Ally Pally next year ?  I think its Feb time and a bit closer !

Lonewolf

Did anyone actually get to the NEC?

I did try for the final Sunday. I had to be in London on the Saturday so thought would by a supplement for my train return ticket to go via the NEC. I didn't realise we lived in the dark ages and it wasn't possible to add a supplement. It would mean a new ticket, so travelling to London to Birmingham, then Birmingham to London and then London to Hudds. In the end couldn't be bothered with all the travelling
