Oh of course! How could I forget? (I'm multitasking with work and I'm a man I think is the reason!)

Anton, Its not really on the way though.

We could go on sunday? Can people do sunday? road craft is that possible for you?

I saw this in MCN this week, its not heated but looks similar in quality to what I use and it works well:

Anyone want to join? Are you going by car or bike? Im thinking of taking my son (14) he needs a new helmet. I dont do rain (unless i get caught out in it ) so I would also be keeping an eye on that! What sort of time were you thinking of?

It was quite good.

The S1000RR is nice, even with its wonky lights :)

The Maxxi girls were nice too :drool5:

Bought some "Stompgrip" for the R1.

Followed by lots of beer, being in trouble with Mrs Dan & then having a hangover.

Feeling better now.

Well went up there with some spare cash looking for some bling bits and pieces and came away with sweet FA

Sorry to say not much there for the American custom bike owner, mainly Sports Bikes, one piece leathers, gloves and Full face Helmets :(

Highlights of the show for me was the Norton stand, Very good looking bikes also the Samurai Chopper stand, great looking hand built bikes with Harley Engines.....Oh but not cheap ;)

Hard to get onto the Harley stand and see the new models due to too many people!

See you all up the ACE on Monday ;)

couldnt find anybody down there, sorry mark for the pm so late you didnt get my number!

went down and had a good look around, wasnt as big as I had hoped but now have my eye on a certain aprillia.

came away with a boot full of goodies ready for the new season, atleast there was plenty of gear to choose from.

Dan, noticed the maxxis girl too, but only after I picked my jaw of the floor from this one ducati chick! ;-)

The RSV4 is tiny.

I noticed a bike on the marina last night, couldn't tell you what it was but I noticed he had a sandbag bungeed to his pillion. :confused:
Does a bit more weight over the rear wheel help if it's icy/snowy/wet ?

Maybe a travelling sand bag sales person with inadequate transport?
