So anyone going to the MCN show this year? Feb 3rd!

[MinhDinh]

Excel centre again! I am probably going on Friday or Sunday.

Finally going on a bigger bike than my old RS125! Last year a guy that was advertising trackdays came up to me and said interested? I see you and your friends are all leathered up, here's my card.

I was too embarassed to say we are all on 125's LOL.

I need some new gloves! Maybe braided hose lines or whatever they are called.

Why are all these bike shows at a time of year when snow/ice/rain are highly likely?

MCN/bmf etc

Most likely they happen in the cold weather because people will not be riding out much and maybe have saved some money?

NEC before X mas, and the Excel is after the end of the month and also I guess before summer.

Maybe old stock can be gotten rid of aswell after the sales?

Anyway, hope to meet some of you!

Hi

Afraid not. Can't be bothered going that far into London (Ally Pally was about the limit) for a small bike show.

All the best

They do them in winter because it helps the dealers/shops exhibiting to keep going through the quiet period when there are few sales

[instigator]

Anything to do with MCN is a pile of utter gash anyway.

[MinhDinh]

Looks like I am coming on Sunday with a few work colleagues.

I guess no one is bothered here, would have been nice to meet some of you. As for the show, yes I get disapointed each year, but I always go, it helps bike stores make some money and I save a few quid for good quality products. Also talking to some of the guys is a good experience, you get to see people who you may have talked to or bought things on line too!



Kinda far but a good place to take photo's, the DSLR stuff I see here each year is really good, and well, I dunno, it's a day out and not all day outs are great!

See you if I see you!

I may take a trip up there...., I'll be over in Bucks that weekend, so a pretty easy 'in'.

Excel is massive, do they even come close to filling it?

[Wafer_Thin_Ham]

Meg really. The Excel shows always been a bit lame. Seem to be fewer and fewer bargains at shows nowadays.

^^no, and it appears to be getting smaller each year. I may go, but purely to go and argue with insurers and get an awesome price, as my renwal is due then, and they seem to be able to get really good deals at a show.

Last year I managed to get them to drop £200 and add 'drive any other bike' onto the policy. Was worth the entry fee for that - which was lucky as there was sod all else!

I was at the boat show there last week, we have a saying in that industry of 'show price' is +10% retail!

Shows don't tend to be what they were, the last days always used to be a scramble to get the deals as the guys were packing up. Now, most of the exhibitors are just retailers who pack it all up and stick it back on the shelf in their shops.

I suppose if you're in the market for a new bike, I guess it gives you the option of seeing them all in one place rather than having to drive/ride for miles.

[MinhDinh]

So anyone?

:p

I'll be there on the Sunday, went to the ally pally last year and wasn't massively impressed with it, so thought I'd give this one a try, only in Essex anyway so not exactly far for me.

Does anyone know the deal with disabled parking at this one? Was free at the Ally Pally but worth checking out if it'll be the same, because I have heard that the general parking charges are ridiculous.

Would go on the bike, but looking to maybe pick uip a new one piece, and getting that home in a rucksack isn't really an option!
