First time I've ever been to this one, first impressions: it's feckin huge! The outside stalls autojumble was pretty extensive, but once in the halls, well, every time I thought I'd been round it all, I discovered another hall
Looking through my pics tonight, either there were a hell of a lot of strokers, or I was just in 2T mode today
So here we go, lots of modded Elsies and 'valve:

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6261_zps13d3a184.jpg
For sale, 628 miles on the clock; don't know if that's right, but it certainly looked it:

Couple of nice GT750 kettles:

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6201_zps04d9838b.jpg
And there were lots of immaculate standard jobbies to.
Other 2T:

My favourite of the day; RGV250/500 conversion :
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6165_zps92a7c71b.jpg
2T rr..rrr..rrRacers!
There were a number of TZs:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6188_zpsd42242ef.jpg
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6231_zps9df7f3a8.jpg
and RGs:

Others:

https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6154_zpsfa87c997.jpg
And some 4T stuff.
GSX11, all the de rigueur stuff; Orient Express, APE, Vance & Hines etc:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6158_zpsfd807ab1.jpg
Harris GSXR turbo:

Freddie Spencer VF750 replicas:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6186_zpsfdd4cd3c.jpg
Pretty Hondas
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6213_zps7cc8d7e1.jpg
Another CBX turbo (there were about three of em at the show; won't be any non-turbo'd ones left soon! :
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6220_zps6ffac225.jpg
A few of these there; I still think they're a nice looking bike, but cos I had the turbo, I never tried one:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6244_zps2282afc1.jpg
CB1100R; I loved these when they first came out, and still think they look smart:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6262_zps6ab44eab.jpg
And just in case one's not enough:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6265_zpsb8d4aaa1.jpg
Throw this in here:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6284_zps38c63c56.jpg
What was missing was a good representation of Italian stuff, this was the most outstanding example, very nice MV racer:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6283_zps4b86cf6a.jpg
And taking me back to my yoof when I used to polish em as a Saturday lad at D & A Rayner m/cs, Ducati 500 Pantah:
https://i1291.photobucket.com/albums/b550/nicknicklxs/DSCF6274_zps88d3fead.jpg
There were a few Benelli 6s on one stand, but all packed too close together to get any half decent pics. And that was about it for the Eyeties.
Loads of other stuff too, but Photo"ohfuckit" is really slow for me tonight, so I'm done.
If you've never been to this show, highly recommeneded ____________________ Chickenystripgeezer's Biking Life (Latest update 19/10/18) Belgium, France, Italy, Austria tour 2016 Picos de Europa, Pyrenees and French Alps tour 2017 Scotland Trip 1, now with BONUS FEATURE edit, 5/10/19, on page 2 Scotland Trip 2 Luxembourg, Black Forest, Switzerland, Vosges Trip 2017

Yeah, I know
I took that because I worked at a dealer who sold them when they came out.
