Aye, dunno if we will be making a foray into the actual classic bit, (Im sure we will) but should hopefully catch ya Thumbs Up

Decided though stuff /might/ be cheaper off the net, its better to physically have a look at gear!

Hi

Not sure when you last went. These days you have to pay to get onto the site (you used to be able to wander round the bit outside for free).

All the best

Keith

Yeah I know. Figured the £8.50 and petrol will be covered by the savings we hopefully make on gear. Just that we're having a bit of a dash run, as we live 3 hours away.


Thumbs Up Cheers for info though.

Think I'm heading up on my baghira. Not sure what day or time. Will be with my old man who I expect will be on his KLR650 or T140.

I might as well just try and spend the train money on bribing my dad. I've offered to pay him in but there's not going to be an RD stand so he's not really up for going to it.

Maybe I should offer to pay for McDonalds breakfast too Thinking

The RX-S has been broken for months, I'd have to push it.

I guess I could ride there on my BMX Laughing

Hi

Not a bad show. There are 2 shows each year. This one is for the older bikes while the one later in the year is for more recent (70s, 80s and early 90s) bikes.

Good to searh through all the parts stands.

All the best

Keith

Hi

Normally plenty of parking for bikes and cars. Both parking is on a large field over the road (there is a tunnel under the road to the showground), but they normally have plenty of side stand pucks.

All the best

Keith

Hi

I went today. I will be there again tomorrow. Fair bit to see but not a massive amount in the autojumble.

An NSR50 that was for sale could have been tempting.

All the best

Keith
