[Blade]

Yes I will be going. Not sure what day yet but won't make any plans as taking my youngest lad who is bike mad and Im very much looking forward to spending some quality dad and son time together.

I feel a bit awkward about going tbh as my best mate has asked if I'm going but want to avoid meeting him as I really want to spend some one on one time with my lad and I know if i go with my best mate I won't get a minute with my lad which I feel awkward about tbh.

[Jack]

go saturday with your son and sunday with your mate and then you can act all knowledgeable about all the exhibits

[Blade]

Haha good idea jack.

Kwacky I still have some TS cards would you be happy for me to leave a few at suitable locations and hand a few out.

[Kwacky]

Yes please Blade

[Blade]

No problem mate, always glad to spread the word

Just tell him if he's a good friend he will understand surely

[Blade]

Yes your probably right Rocket, but you know how it is you don't want to risk offending or up setting anyone.

Just got back bit disappointed with what was there had some cash to spend as well. Got some t shirts and a set of renn sports for 139 old stock but with go on the Gsxr or the zx6

[Blade]

Yes just got back myself Rocket. Like you I was disappointed. Similar money to NEC show but just a few local bike shops and an auto jumble / market full of sh1t.

Still had a great day as I spent it with my lad and he was a lot of fun and enjoyed himself which made my day.

[Kwacky]

Can't put a price on time with the kids.

[Blade]

Totally agree Kwacky. The little man transformed an ordinary day into an amazing day.

I spent 4.5 hours there with him. If I had gone in my own I would have seen it all and been out in 30 minutes.

[Blade]

As the old saying goes it's not where you are its who you are with

[rocket]

One thing i did have a look round when i was there were the speed way bikes lol they had a rubber band for the front suspension

[Blade]

I got to sit on the new R1 which is tiny and looks great in red and white.

[rocket]

I got chatted up by a drop dead gorgeous model she wanted me to right my number and my email down on a piece of paper

[Blade]

A few random shots from the day.
