Been a fair few times now and to be honest its a day out for me and my dad. We generally go as a father son day and usually for him its a free day! We have talked about it and we know we are going just unsure when as we work such up and down shifts I generally only get the Sunday off and he's in retail and taken a massive step down on his position so now he works what they tell him so hoping we can make a arrange it on either Sunday!

Well that might be a positive as I'm not looking for kit so if everyone is at trade stands hopefully the bike stands might be a little less crowded.

It'll show the build quality of the bikes after thousands of people have climbed on them.

Yep, that's me.

I'll be going last Sunday as usual. I stay till the end and its almost empty. You get to sit on any bike dead easy.

Also, we have a slow walk back to the car as the carpark attendants go home at 7pm, and leave the barriers up. So you pay nothing for parking (saving about £9 now I think)

Hoping to go the Friday 28th as its the day before my bday so hoping the Mrs will treat me to something nice
Remember: If in Doubt use Full Throttle, It may not make the situation any better, But it will end the suspense...
