Thanks Gayle, but damn, I am working that weekend. Request for time off on the Sunday coming up.

[Ratser]

Will be there on the Saturday, along with Revs (most likely).

Doubt will be on the bike, as there are a few things I want to get.

[Silverspring]

I'll be going hope to see some tmbf peeps there!

[archiec]

My birthday that weekend might have to buy myself something...

[iiisecondcreep]

We've been to the last two, last year wasn't very good but the year before was much better so hopefully this year will be good again! Will probably go both days

Remember to order your tickets in advance peeps- cheaper than buying them on the door and less queueing to get in!

[Tuiroo]

I think I might just have to trundle along. Have not been before. Is it better on Sat or Sun or does it not matter either way?

Cheers

Doesn't really matter mate.

Some people think if you go on teh last day you will get more bargains, but to be honest I have never found that to be the case.

I imagine with George White's going down the tubes there will be a big empty area in the clothing section too.

[Nell]

Resurrecting the thread lol. Me and Chic will be there on the Sunday, if anyone would like to meet up

[iiisecondcreep]

Tickets arrived the other day, not sure what day we'll be there on though.

[Ratser]

We are going Saturday, and hopefully on the bikes too.

[gordon276]

going on the sat to and on the bike only cause i am tight and dont want to pay 4 quid to park

[iiisecondcreep]

Got there about ten, left about 1pm. Show was smaller again this year, range of clothing seemed limited, didn't really seem like there were many bargains to be had. There was some custom bikes but not the same big custom bike show they had previously.

Hope others had a better day than we did!

I'll be there, will try and remember to pm you my mobile number in the morning!

[gordon276]

well what can i say about the bike show hmmm still rekon the first one was the best and is yet to be topped

[Silverspring]

That was my first and last bike show, might try one of the bigger events down south but I'm not going back to the Scottish one. There was very little to see and do other than sit on bikes. BMW and MV Augusta were not there and KTM had bikes out that you needed permission to touch. The second hall was a little like a car boots sale with boys playing on bikes in the corner (not that I could see anything for the crowd, they had no platform area etc) and the third hall was full of classic bikes and other anomalies.

If it hadn't been for my mates banter I would have left after about 45 minutes. The highlight of the day was getting a seat on the new Panigale couldn't get my feet down though

[Nell]

Sorry i missed you Silver, was unable to find you

I found the show ok, I got the jeans I wanted, and Dave got his leathers and boots. As I was only after clothing, the bikes weren't really of interest, though the little 250 suzuki was cute. Don't think I'll bother next year either, unless I particularly require anything.

[Throttled]

There was only a Suzuki dealer there last year, was there an official stand this year?

[Nell]

Dealer I think. Was the guy who runs the Dumfries Suzuki branch.

[iiisecondcreep]

It wa an official Suzuki stand, some staff from Saltire in Edinburgh where there as well.

And you were even allowed to sit on the suzukis this time!!!

[silent ninja]

Dealer I think. Was the guy who runs the Dumfries Suzuki branch.

 

bet he didnt sell much then

[Ratser]

Was there on Saturday. Got there about half eleven and left about 3 or so.

It was ok, nothing great.

Best bit was taking the bikes.

Didn't see anyone from here either. Not that I know any of the Scottish folk from on here anyway.
