Might well do that from what I can remember the New Forest has some nice roads, but very speed limited, yes?

There are some fantastic roads in the Forest, and gorgeous scenery.

You probably won't be quite as impressed [with the scenery] living in Somerset as my friend was who came down from Coventry!

The limit's 40mph within the Forest, it's a shame the whole area has been covered with the one speed brush, but it does make sense in places. To be honest, I tend not to use the roads in the forest as much as perhaps I should, because of the limits. Just look out for animals on the road - and there are a couple of quite tight, blind corners that you wouldn't want to be straying too far out on.

I'll have to decide a few days before weather I can afford to go down for a day or not.

Me and Craig are going Smile

We went last year and it was a good day out! Lots of nice/ different/ interesting bikes to look at, Loads of stalls for bike bits, bobs, clothing, accessories (license plates, intercoms...)etc, and i got me some nice Kawasaki gear! Take a credit card though! lol

The only thing that was a bit crap was the way they centered most of the day around Harley riders. There were displays and all sorts Rolling Eyes

But once you got them out of the way and watched the sportsbikes it all got better, and you didnt have to sit there and watch them, so you could easily go off and shop during the boring bits Razz

I'll be going.

Had a good time last year & picked up some bargain summer gloves.

Learnt our lesson returning from 2003's show, last year we found the bikes quite easily!

We arrived fairly early & so the bikes were near the BFH bus and not too hidden in the masses of bikes parked up.

(the year before, spent ages finding the bike & had the bright idea of setting off the remote alarm. This worked very well -too well in fact- we also set off 20 other bike's alarms!)

Me and my dad will be there sunday too.

Well worth a visit, stunt arena is usually pretty good, and watching the supermotards racing round is pretty impressive too. Benn last 3 years, great stalls section with bargain gear and a good day out, wont recognise you guys but see you there Laughing

How much does it cost to get in? Smile

Went today and I'd say it was definately well worth it. F*cking amazing what that stunt bloke could do with those bikes. One problem I did find is that they were a bit on the expensive side for their refreshments (£1.40 for a bottle of water Crying or Very sad

).

planet rider · Nitrous Nuisance Joined: 09 Mar 2005 Karma :

yeah i went to day it was good met charley from the long way round and the bmw guy was good and the supermoto guys i liked as well. 1.40 for water was way too steep but if people need a drink they will pay it. i did lol. i also got sunburnt which was nice.
didnt realy spend as much as i thoult i was going to. saw some realy nice bikes and some fit birds Very Happy
