Coming towards the end of the show so thought i'd see what people had bought at the show, mainly cause I actually bought something. Dance!

I got a Carbon Can Co road legal can for £120. It sounds very nice. Thumbs Up

A hotdog, cheeseburger and a bottle of Fanta. Oh, and a NADB raffle ticket. And a Guinness, mustn't forget the Guinness.

Front and rear Roadtec Z6 for my SV and front and rear paddock stand. Although actually I bought these after the show cause they didn't have any tyres there at the time.

Some goretex double cuffed winter (was jealous of Stickwheel's gloves in another thread Wink) gloves...some guy immersed them fully into water while wearing them and came out with a dry hand Shocked

Also a carbon fiber hugger, I melted the last plastic one I had so I thought I'd better go for carbon fiber this time...

I sprung for a few 'goodie bags'...mainly to put all the free stuff I got, and info packs from various stands.

1 hotdog, 1 burger, 1 BLT, truck loads of diet coke (if that sounds like a lot of food, its not, it just that I went for 3 days)

I got a new HJC helmet with a free blue visor, i also got a titanium dual port blue flame exhaust with 50 quid off.

I cant wait for the exhaust to arrive it should come tomorrow and i am going to remove the bafflers so it is going to sound great but i cant ride it till next weekend because my arm is still in a sling hence the new helmet.

I was well impressed...Goretex had a display stand with a few items permanently immersed...I wanted some double cuffed gloves as I was fed up with the wicking effect making the inside of my existing waterproof gloves wet during the day and having to put on wet gloves for my journey home...

well after i remortgaged the house, silly me offered to by a friend and myself a coffee and a hotdog.
i treated myself to a set of alpinestars all black 1 piece leather suit 400 quid.
my friend bought a rizla suit, he had the bargain from scott leathers 380 every other stall had same up for 700 quid.

I went last weekend and bought a BSB polo shirt and the (rather nice) steak and mushroom pie from the 'restaurant'. Worryingly the meal cost more than the shirt...
