Cam Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 Anyone heading along? Tickets went on sale last week and I'm going either first Sunday & Monday, or the Monday & Tuesday. Quote
RantMachine Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I'll certainly be there, not sure of a day yet. Hoping to see a Honda CRF250 Rally or KTM 390 Adventure or Royal Enfield Himalayan in the flesh... afterwards I'll be hunting unicorns and jumping 30 London buses on a Chinese 125. Quote
Tankbag Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 I'll go be good to meet up with folks again, I'm flexible on which days, having said that I'd prefer not weekend but I'll go with the flow.Anything on you guys wish list at all ? Quote
CGD217 Posted August 19, 2015 Posted August 19, 2015 The missus and I will be there on the 4th. All booked up Can't wait! Quote
Cam Posted August 20, 2015 Author Posted August 20, 2015 I'm looking for a pair of custom fit earplugs and maybe a pair of boots. Quote
Arwen Posted August 20, 2015 Posted August 20, 2015 I am thinking of going this year. Needing some new kit and cannot find anything I like that fits locally. Also, if I get my test out the way before then I might use it to test ride some big bikes Quote
SteveH30 Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 I was going to go but now decided to put the travel, ticket, shopping money towards my test instead. Gutted but its for a good cause, if not a better cause! Quote

Think we've done a Friday the last few times? I'm sure that I'll post an update nearer the time. 100% going, though - I need to scout out a replacement for the BMW Quote

Guest Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I'm looking for a pair of custom fit earplugs and maybe a pair of boots. I ordered my custom earplugs from Ultimate Hearing at the last NEC show. I find they are the only effective plugs for the weird internal shape of my lugholes.I will be going this year as usual - but unsure of day/date. Quote

Can I ask: how much were they, and were they ready to take away on the same day as the moulds were taken? Quote

Can I ask: how much were they, and were they ready to take away on the same day as the moulds were taken? I think they were £65 - I had just the base model. They only take the moulds at the show - they post the plugs a couple of weeks later as they are mad in their factory.When they take the mould keep your head still and do not flex your jaw. Quote
Bigralphie Posted September 1, 2015 Posted September 1, 2015 Going on 4th , time for a new Shoei if I can sort a deal Quote
Remy Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 I'm probably going but not sure of what day Quote
RantMachine Posted October 14, 2015 Posted October 14, 2015 Pretty sure I don't have any holiday days going spare, so I think I'm going to have to brave the weekend crowds Quote
Glorian Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Pretty sure I don't have any holiday days going spare, so I think I'm going to have to brave the weekend crowds Don't do it man!I'm probably not gonna go to either this or the london show in feb, was rather underwhelmed last time and for the cost and hassle. Not even any good gear about i feel a lot of it is cheap crud that resembles a chinese bike (looks great falls apart a short while later) Quote
RantMachine Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I just wanna see the 2016 models and any daft concepts that are flying around! You never know, might be something interesting Quote
soll Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 I fancy going to this might make a day of it at the weekend.....gotta go look at those lovely cheese bikes and the brilliant taiwan built bikes.have just found out that my new cb500F a jap bike is actually built in taiwan.... holy discombobulation batman.

RantMachine Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 If it's any consolation, my BMW is made in Italy with an Austrian engine. Funny how everything except the engine goes wrong all the time, isn't it? I have a genuine interest in some of the Chinese stuff that shows up at Motorcycle Live; having been stung once I'd be unlikely to risk it again, but I find WK to be very interesting. They seem to be doing a pretty good job, all in all - I know that Fred has had an entirely positive experience so far. The WK Trail 400 looks like it could be a really quite nice bike if you swapped out the Chinese rubber, the adventure class could really do with more lightweight 400s.Of course, if KTM can bring out an Adventure 390 then I'm sold Quote
Tango Posted October 19, 2015 Posted October 19, 2015 Booked Friday 4th off work.......let the pilgrimage begin....... Shame you can't get time off Ollie......could've jumped in with us again as we're going over there in the cage...... Quote
soll Posted October 20, 2015 Posted October 20, 2015 WK seem to be bringing some nice bikes, the naked 600 and the pan american lookie likey are so cheap and look to be getting good reviews.The training school i used have got a couple for instructors to test out. Quote
