Anyone else going to the NEC bike show this year

Probably the best venue in the UK to buy clothing and parts etc

I'll be in a car so I have more room for any purchases, anyone else fancy a trip up to Brum

Was a good show...
Nice and empty there today

Pics to come...

HardRockCamaro · November 27, 2009, 03:41:11 PM

One of the guys from the dealers here was up there with the 3 wheeled Spyder, they showed it on the BBC yet he managed to not be in the background waving. Poor effort imho..

VIPER · November 27, 2009, 04:23:47 PM

Few pics from today

Fieldy · November 28, 2009, 03:35:58 AM

Just up loaded my pictures and some are very similar

F Body · November 28, 2009, 10:44:04 AM

New Ducati Multistrada isn't my cup of tea, but like all modern Ducati's it's very well finished for the money

Liked the new baby 798 Hypomotard but it's actually 803cc

Kawasaki designers are back in the 70's acid trip with the new Z1000, one of the new colours is metallic brown with a snake skin seat

Plenty of trikes for HRC

Plenty of mega horse power custom big bikes :

Liked this Victory concept bike, which may get put into production if there's enough interest

Victory seem to doing better production custom machines than Harley now

Everyone should have at least one thing that's orange in their life

The newish Triumph Thunderbird, I took this shot because I loved the colour, black in the middle fading to metallic red

Same paint job on the speed triple :

BMW stand was packed, seems there is still life left in the 70 year old boxer engine

Same shot as Viper :

Always had a soft spot for V Maxs but......................

Sitting on the new one, it fitted like a glove, I'd imagined a 320kg bike was going to feel massive, anyone got £16k

Plenty of alternative products :

A big stand for the "new" Norton which looks better in the flesh

Same pictures as Viper

The original Widow maker

Very Custom V Max

Chrome plating is so yesterday, go with gold plating instead

Plenty of people there :

Somebody doesn't like curves

Chopper :

Plenty of trick parts, but drum brakes
