    I know where you mean Ash.
    Mine was one of the Repsols! There may have been others on the way, but obviously the Repsols get there quicker!:p
    Not sure if i saw yours or not. What time were you there?

    I was up there about half 2 ish. I've never seen the place so busy! I tucked myself away in the corner behind the museum carpark in the carpark over the road from fishponds pub. Didn't stay for long, quick drink and away. Didn't even pay and display! /rebal

    Steve,Ive had a look at the pictures of your bike on your profile, and i'm pretty sure i was having a very close look at your bike at matlock.If it was the one i was looking at, you have some very tasty bits on it.We got there at about 11ish and didn't leave until 3ish.:)

    Yeah, I was there at about 2, so it could have been me. There was a SV1000S in GSXR colours parked at the side of me.
    The big give away was the camera mount on my tank!

    I was there too! It was absolutely hammered. We left around half 2, just as the fat warden was handing tickets out.....very brave lady indeed!!! There seemed to be plenty of blades there, but nothing compared to thoses awful wrong way round trikes!!! Don't quite see the point? We were quite lucky on our way back, traffic cop had his radar gun out but had just pulled someone, gave me a funny look as we crawled past as I suspect he must have heard the Racefit Growler at full chat on the other side of the brow!:D

    I saw a blade with a racefit. Is yours a Repsol?
    Agree about the wrong way round 3 wheelers - very strange.
