    Is anyone going to the springfields bike show, Spaulding, this weekend?

    It really is crap but what else do you do with snow on the ground?

    I've sent you a pm David, but in brief, if I go it will be Saturday and Angie will sit in costa and wait. I'll wait till tomorrow and decide?

    You should organise another night out David?

    Every show has to start somewhere and we should support them, however don't travel too far it really isn't very good! It's 25 minute for me and a fiver to get in but every time I do go I question why after?

    Hi Carl, well its about 4 mins away for me and I am loosing the will to live with the sh*tty snow and salt on the roads at the mo!Ii must admit that at least 2 of my biker freinds have been in previous years and said its not worth going as they have been before but I thought I'd try it anyway...

    Like must things Carl bike shows ,Truck shows classic car shows never move on so its the same thing time and again and we're ever you go the same dude will be doing the same stunts or the guy hanging out side of his car while it does a 360 deg turn Boring its like going to a Superbike race rows and rows of the same tee shirts and hats with the old dude selling friggin pan shines .

    Understatement of the year Carl. I wasn’t going to bother but L had decided she wanted to go shopping so I dropped her at the shops paid my fiver. Dreadful show unless you wanted to have single syllable conversations about shaved head and beard tips with members of the trying ever so hard to be scary Blue Knights Motorcycle Club.
    If it wasn’t for a chat with the DP of Marshals Honda and a quick hand shake with the one and only Mr John McGuinness I would have been back out again before my fiver was put away in the takings tin. Still our late lunch at Frankie and Benny’s was pleasant enough.
