nikolees Posted February 14, 2015 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Went down there today.It was nice, a bit crowded until 4, it was easier to move around after.I was expecting more in terms of bargain-offers (not that I looked for many things, I only had in mind to search for Arai) and I'm not sure that the ticket of £20 is reasonable, but it's London after all.The slide show with McGuinness, Whitham, Walker was very good.The best thing (and I would never imagine saying that) was the Rossi MotoGP bikes collection.

Joeman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Currently queuing in the cage to get in.. Amazed how many bikes are queuing when there is a huge gap to filter down!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Six30 Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 (edited) its a day out , you won't get much in the way of bargains, what they charge the stool holders is outrageous, if they did not have the track set up in the middle it would look empty, personally I would rathere see more gear for sale than watch mcguiness 's teeth race round a make shift trackAnd 15 quid to park a car !!

Joeman Posted February 15, 2015 Share Posted February 15, 2015 Just got home.Queued for an hour to get into the car park Paid 15quid to parkPaid 20quid entry fee.The place was packed out - could hardly move for people.Had a good look about, loads of BMW adventure bikes.Was hoping there would be more biking gear for sale, but there was loads of cheap rubbish.I did end up buying richa waterproof jacket and trousers. Haggled an extra 10quid off the show price.Refused to pay seven quid for a hotdog!!Didnt bother sitting on any bikes.The new R1 looks like it's got a huge seat with bits missing.

Glorian Posted February 16, 2015 Author Share Posted February 16, 2015 It was ok. Quite busy, enjoyed watching the demonstration on the victory cruiser before the race with mcguiness and crew. Sat on some nice bikes, Fell in love with the thruxton ace cafe model and the BMW S1000 white Bought no gear as it was all crap looking and expensive.

fq-craigus Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Kind of wish i had got down for this but also not too fussed. Mcn shows are overpriced for what you get, they have also now taken over the peterborough show in may because bmf refuse to pay what the showground wants so im guessing the show will be a lot different to previous years, but hey it was a scorcher of a day last year so its a good day out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glorian Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 I did walk past the stand and snicker quietly to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hadster Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I went, underwhelmed by the R1. RSV4 was gorgeous as was the 1299. H2 i liked in the flesh after deciding it was ugly from the pictures. Valentino is the nutts. Talked to a guy about a custom flat tracker, i loved it and want one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
