I think not!
Two people £40.50 including booking fee, bike parking for 2 bikes is free and we are self sufficient for food (what else are panniers for). A cheap day out riding our bikes and looking at bikes/trips ........ what more do you want to boost the biking mojo?

I think £25 for about 6 hours walk round is pretty good value. That's only my opinion and I'm not trying to be confrontational. That's about £4 per hour. A pint in my local pub is the best part of £5 and that takes a lot less time to drink than an hour :lol: .

I'd think of it a bit like a gig. You can't get tickets for any gig to see a decent band for less than 30 quid these days. and most of the big artists at the big venues charge 60 plus. Posh seats are 100, 200 - or about 600 to look up Adele's arse...

So if you think of Honda, Suzuki, Kawasaki, Ducati etc as major recording artists - and there they all are playing their latest hits in the same hall - it's not bad value really.

(just wish Honda would stop playing cover versions and come out with some original material... :D )

So, was anyone there today?

I have seen one short video from someone wandering about late in the afternoon and the NEC looks three parts empty.

Not that I mind, I'm planning on being there on Tuesday and I'd prefer it without massive crowds. Not sure the exhibitors will be too happy though.

Speaking of which.... the new BSA Gold Star.... WOW!

I was there today the whole place seemed watered down and only half full, but it makes it easier to get around the stands and you can get to the front and sit on the bikes easier

That's one of the stands that is on my 'must see' list.

From a selfish point of view, quieter is good for me, easy to move about, easy to get to the bikes I want to see.

From an exhibitors point of view, let's hope it gets busier as the show goes on.

I’m planning on going later in the week, at previous shows it was quieter in the morning’s then busier after lunch. Used to do the “must see stuff” in the morning then wander round the smaller stands later. Avoided the weekends whenever I could as just too manic, or it used to be. Got quite a list of things to see this year and if it’s a bit more relaxed then that’s fine with me, but maybe not so for the exhibitors. We’ll see.
