Tank Slap - Motorcycle Forum

I think I'll be going this year. There are a few bikes I want to look at. Plus I want some Rukka gear. I reckon it'll be easier to try the gear on and buy it there with a hope of a discount than to buy online.

Anyone else going? If so which day?

Ill will be going but midweek for me to try and miss some of the crowds !

I'm tempted to go on the Monday after the first weekend

I haven't been for a while now... Wonder if I can sneak off for a few days Might have to talk nicely to madam.

Beers on the sunday, bikes on the Monday

Exactly my thoughts my friend

I've never been. Really fancy a little look at the H2r if it's there, not like I'm going to see one anywhere else! Apart from that what's it like?

It's like a massive motorbike show room. Loads of bikes, clothing stalls and evnets going on.

I stopped going for a while as it got boring but if you've not been before it's worth it.

You didn't mention the Carole Nash stand Kwacky.

It's basically like a big (& very busy) motorbike shop IMHO. Fwiw I certainly wouldn't bother to make the treck every year.

Having said that, it's far easier to access for you lads, almost on your doorstep.!

Missed it for a lot years as became less of a show and more of a jumble sale to sell cheap rubbish IMO.

Went last year and pleasantly surprised as much improved and now has live action shows open to the general public which previously had been a chargeable extra.

Might go this year as so many new bikes and as the new R1 isn't realised until November could be the first place to see it.

I go most years got a good deal on my RST race suit last year, don't really need anything apart from a new pair of gloves but I'll be there this year not sure which day yet, you can normally get some good deals on the last day.

Not been for a long time fancy it this year

Went 2 years ago, thought it was boring TBH. Got a balaclava thrown at me by some bimbo on one stand. Got home and tried it on (the balaclava ) and it had a tear in it and it was too small for my fat head. Bloody rip off!

Like others I've been disillusioned in the past with what was essentially a rag-tag of stands flogging stuff, showing stuff, some new bikes and a selection of totally random stands that you'd struggle to link to motorcycles. Fingers crossed its better this year, not sure if I'll be going yet as I don't know what November holds for me, fingers crossed though.

We always say we wont go and yet we've been the last 4 years
We tend to go on a Saturday and it really isnt that bad

I have always tried to sign up for the off road experience there but every year it's already fully booked when I get there. I go there as soon as the doors open but get told "sorry, we are booked up until Thursday"

So who's up for going on the Monday? I'll need to book my holiday soon at work to make sure I can get the day off.

I'm still working on it. She's having a nice birthday today so I'll ask in a few days

Is that Monday the 24th mate ?

Yep, the 24th.
