I did not bother this year but i have suffered years of boredom at this venue. So for the boys and laydee's that did go ,how about some feedback along the lines of .Car park charges/ entrance fee/ food / Bargains / Goodies/ Girlies/ new bikes/ value for money ect .:dirol:
Car park £8 Entrance £19 (£16 online) Food prices - ridiculous. Bargains - not many Goodies - didnt see any Girlies - pretty good. New bikes - nothing i would class as "new" Value for money - Personally, i think the inclusion of the freestyle motoX show made it good value.
The show passed off as ok........ nothing special, not that many bargains...... you can find as cheap online from what i saw with accessories etc... ordered an envy bike lift for £249.00 delivered
I saved over a ton on a shark lid. happy with that, Entrance is the norm for these type of events. I paid £20 for the classic car show a week before. £7 parking if pre paid as I do. been £7/8 for the past 5 years I have been going. In the end I enjoy going and looking at bikes, chatting with mate and having all the shops/suppliers close at hand.
Judging by the amount of traffic using the network of roads around the NEC yesterday it certainly had some good support, saw quite a few bikes heading there too, thank goodness for my tag
I really enjoyed it, the prices for food were expensive if your not use to that by now well you never been to a show ...go to the Scottish show now that is sh**..... i fly down ever 2nd year and i think the organizers deserve a big pat on the back well presented show seen a lot of the racers who were all very nice and all stopped for photos and a talk so thanks to them all for remembering the show is really for us ...joe public .... the question you should ask could it have been much better... for me no... and remember how much did you pay for your last night out this was only £19.00 after all and i bet you never seen so many ....well ladies............so well done NEC
i enjoyed it, £8 car park is far too much, £19 entry is also expensive. had a ride out on a super tenere, mate was on a v max, had a go on the trail bikes that was fun. didnt see many bargains, some full leathers for £299. all in all a good day.
Good call Giv. Best you stay home next year mate. I intend going and it'd ruin my day if I had to keep ducking to avoid bumping into you.
Good format Steve! Car park £7 (booked early) Entrance £16 (booked early) Food prices - Expensive, but no more than last year Bargains - Picked up an Oxford rear paddock stand for 20 quid, custom injected earplugs with in-build headphones for 140 & Knox's head of product development agreed to repair or replace my handroids, so 160 saved there as well. Goodies - didnt see any Girlies - pretty good. New bikes - Couldn't get anywhere near the Panigale, but from what I did see, the shock looks like it'll get in the way Value for money - All in all, good day out. I got everything on my list, Vino Jr. loved doing the Honda My 1st license, and the Freestyle MotoX show was pretty good - and free! Also got to meet a few of the lads from the forum. Good times.
You know it would be worth £19.00 to pay to get out if you were around ,Not sure they would understand what you wanted anyway so best take yur Mam next year.
I was gonna go till I worked out that with entrance for 2 ,parking , petrol there and back , food for the day would have been around £120 So instead I stayed at home and ordered a set of GB Racing case savers for not much more . Ohh and fitted my chain guard
Well i wanted GB Racing covers but i only found 2 stands selling them and they wanted 160 and would not lower the price . If your going to the N.E.C to buy parts cheap then its not worth it as what you save you spend on getting there and getting in . You need to be going to enjoy the show and then the parts are a bonus. I pocked up an accossato master cylinder for 20 quid less than what i could have for one for online , Got to sit on the updated Blade , Seen some cracking customs and probably the best part of the day for me was meeting some of our members in the flesh . Deffo gave me a preview to how good a forum meet / event would be .
left at 5.30 am to get there ! £8 parking -RIP OFF £19 entrance - not to terrible got there in good time had to que for a little while but it was worth untill................................................... i was walking around like a BIG 36yr old child in a toy factory when my 5 month pregaz mrs needed to sit down so we sat at table and chairs near the triumph stand when this little jumped up fuk wit :Banane26:come over and " jog on this aint a doss house its for customers" i hit the roof my mate said that she was pregnant he said " do one " well as you can imagaine all i wanted was to tear his throat out ! I walked away steaming angry walked around for a few mins then said thats it we are going = END OF GOOD DAY NEVER AGAIN ROLL ON EXCEL !:high5: RANT OVER BOYS SORRY
Takes all sorts .. its just a shame when you cross paths with the dross. Once he knew she was with bun you would have expected better. Yup roll on Excel .. so much closer and I have saved serious money on stuff from there in previous years
I would have asked someone else for the manager. talked to him very loudly and got the little twat over and given him a great loud talking to. While making sure potential customers heard. No need to talk to a pregnant woman who's just sitting down like that
