I know some people dont like the Motorcycle show at the NEC but i am one who does, and also one who this year will be gong armed with a credit card for boots, exhaust and poss a new crash helmet, and just to see what else they might put on the GTR.

Damm this bike is fun.

I think the weather last year prevented a lot of folk from getting to the NEC. I couldn't get off our street.

Was supposed to work it last year. Weather stopped me getting there.

Won't be working it this year so may just go along for the craic!

I prefer stock exhaust as well. Sounds like a mouses fart but easier on the ears

I forgot it was snowy around the bike show last year. Hope it's better this time. I was a guest of the big K, as they introduced me to the Z1000SX. I got in an hour early and everything, it was great. :-) Hoping they do something similar again this year and I'll try and convince them to let me in for free again! I'll let you know if I hear anything...

Are you going to share this secret with us? How do you get in early and for free?  :o

If we plan this right, there's a chance of a mini meetup
