Bonniebird Posted May 17, 2012 Author Share Posted May 17, 2012 We're heading there tomorrow afternoon with the tent - just loaded the car with camping stuff - we have to take my wayward 14yo son with us so need the bigger tent. Hopefully set up and then go back home and pick up Bonnie for the weekend as we are only down the road. Sounds like most people are going on Sunday so we'll be at the entrance then. I'll have to go home again for the car later on the Sunday though but it means I'll have a car there if anyone has any loot they want transporting.

nman1 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 May well be a change of plan for me peeps. Weather for saturday = 17deg and dry. Weather for sunday = 11deg and rain. I get wet enough during the week without making a habit of it at the weekends when I don`t have to.Think I`ll be going tomorrow early. Get there about 9.00am and stop till about 12.00noon. Enjoy it if I dont manage to meet up.PS Mandy/Bob, if I do see any bargains too big to get on the bike, can I give you a call ???? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonniebird Posted May 18, 2012 Author Share Posted May 18, 2012 Latest forecast looks like we may avoid the rain (here's hoping) but better Sat than Sun.We'll probably be up and about fairly early on Saturday Neil and, no problem, we can bring stuff back for you.

nman1 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Thanks Mandy, not planning on buying anything, but when I see a bargain, I see savings I`ll keep an eye on the forecast.Enjoy the camping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 not planning on buying anything, but when I see a bargain, I see savings You sound like a woman i know Neil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearOn Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Anyone go today? I went with a mate, was alright, shame about the weather, was ok once there, but on way cold and drizzle most the way. Have to admit a on quite a few stalls stuff was pretty shoddy and not many good deals, but if going tomorrow look out for a big tent, think had warehouse clearance on the side, has lots of oxford stuff in it, and good deals on helmets, got a new carberg for half price would of cost me online or in store.

littlecat Posted May 20, 2012 Share Posted May 20, 2012 been there all weekend, weather held pretty well, and it was a great weekend all round,met old friends, made new ones, did a bit of shopping, bit of drinking, lots of laughing, and even went on the scary fair ride .got myself some panniers among other things, so all set for even more weekends away, but kicking myself over not buying the matching tailpack now ive seen what they normally sell for ...bummer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
golach808 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 well i got myself helmet and boots which was the plan and also some gloves and an EDZ top. didn't go to entrance at 12 as didn't realise the time, left early as i wanted to watch GP and had work at night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tango Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 We went to the entrance at 12:00....but no one showed up. Ran into LittleCat.....in fact I think BonnieBird ran into LittleCat a couple of times.I got some (hopefully) waterproof trousers from the Hein Gericke marquee. Weather was a bit sh*t....but the Blues and Real Ale bar was good......Saturday night was actually really good.Group of guys from a Chinese Cruiser forum were camped across from us....so we had a bit of a chat with them. One of the Mods actually rode his 125cc cruiser from Wales to the show....and as he was on L-plates it took him 8 hours (avoiding motorways).... So we had a fairly good time (even though I had a nice head cold develop while there)....... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nman1 Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Went on Saturday morning in the end as I knew I had a BIG party on the Saturday afternoon. To be perfectly honest, it was crap. Never worth the £19 entrance fee, and unless I`m meeting up with anyone, will seriously consider giving it a miss next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never worth the £19 entrance fee, and unless I`m meeting up with anyone, will seriously consider giving it a miss next year. Gotta agree with this, apart from the lid I got, I was fairly disappointed with it, doesn't match entrance fee, there were at least 5 or 6 tents selling same crap at not very good prices. If was camping guess it be better atmosphere and more of a chance to meet people. Unfortunately was not able to do that this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littlecat Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 definitely worth the weekend ticket at 35 including camping, the atmosphere was great, other campers friendly and the entertainment wasnt bad, plus 2 pubs in stumbling distance, and plenty of security prowling to watch over the bikes .

Tango Posted May 22, 2012 Share Posted May 22, 2012 Deffo with you on that Cat......it was more the whole weekend experience rather than just some savings on kit. If anything the savings were the icing on the cake..... BonnieBird got some leather/textile trousers for £30 and a new lid, which when we pointed out a tiny mark on it the guy knocked another £20 off....so a new Bell M1 lid for £120 which I think was pretty good.....

nman1 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 From what you said last night Bob the overall weekend sounded like a good laugh, and with the entertainment, pubs etc thrown in..not too bad value. For a bike show though, like I said, I was dissapointed. No new loverly shiny bikes to ogle over (and no Bennetts babes either come to that) If you don`t need kit, as a bike show, its crap.

golach808 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 i with you neil, i done alright cause i needed/wanted some kit. a lot of the stuff on sale was cheap crap, there were some good bargains but only if you wanted these items. i'll only be going next one or next year if i need anything as the entry fee is too much if your just going for the day to look around and enjoy the sights Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
