Went to the preview day yesterday, 28 notes of hard earned to get in. This year had...

no live show
no aprillia stand
about three birds on bikes
charle f@cking boorman again

Just seemd this year was poor Sad there just seemd to be big empty spaces all over the place. All the stalls and stands were the same old over and over.

We took my mates dad who's just got into bikeing and i felt that he was dissappointed after the 3 hour drive there and 5 and a half hours back.

Anyone else think the same or did it just not live up to the past fe years?

I'll let you know after tomorrow, I suspect the lack of models is down to it being preview day, I'll bring back pics of all the women that slapped me tomorrow. Wink

Luckily I went yesterday: no crowds, we could walk looking around us without the fear of bumping into people, could sit on any bike we wanted without queuing, loads of staff everywhere to give advice and info, no queues in the fitting rooms, and above all: no scantily clad bimbos on bikes! If the quality of yesterdays 'totty' was an indication of what you guys find attractive, you really do have low standards. There are more attractive dogs at the Battersea Dogs Home!

Apparently, the reason why Aprilia and the other Italian companies, with the exception of Ducati, be they bikes, accessories or clothing, weren't there is that there's a big bike show in Milan in just two weeks and they had to choose which one to do as they couldn't do both. Obviously, the home market was more important.

I didn't think it was too bad really, got an hour session on the supermoto track and found loads of scantily clad women to have my photo taken with.

Should have gone on a public day! have a look here:

Having said that, I thought it wasn't as good as last year. As well as Aprillia missing I also noticed the MV, Cagiva and Bennetts were missing. Strange.

What was good was the option to be able to ride a supermoto or offroader for free.

Not a bad day, although we also went to the Dive show in the other halls which makes the whole trip more worthwhile.

well i paid about £8 to look at old motorbikes for about 20 mins at the national motorcycle museum so £15 doesnt seem too bad as long as I stay for at least 40mins
