Went a few years ago and was disapointed it felt like walking round a giant bike shop except you werent allowed to touch anything and there wasnt a lot to buy. We expected lots of shiny goodies at discount prices and came away with a free power bar each. In my eyes it seemed more of an excuse for the bike trade to get sloshed on someone elses bill.

I quite like a bike shop any-ways and its always nice to talk to like-minded people! Never been to something like it before though so i may as well give it a go.

Dont let me put anyone off, maybe that year it was a bit dull we expected lots of leggy semi naked women handing out goody bags like we got at the previous years Motorbike show plus people doing mad things on Mbikes.
