sorry about the poor photos, i think my settings were wrong they are normally excellent
well i went, it was late by the time we went in. about 3pm. that was enough time still to see everything, i got what i went for, some decent gloves and hi vis jacket that wont fall apart. Below are only a couple of pics i took of some maxi scooters and one or two other types, as well as me with a couple of famous bikers, im afraid i have no interest in the bikes i cant see myself riding. granted many looked nice . i just started motorcycling so i might get more passionate in it as im ejoying my 125. my friend Martin is a huge superbike racing fan and has his own team (Mr Jones) and knows most of the big names there personally. he managed to get me a ticket from the Michelin booth, he told them i just bought their city grips.
On the honda stand they even had a PCX with all the garnish available in the uk on it. looked spiffing!
the stunt show was awesome to watch too, much better than i expected it to be. Our tickets had a 12pm showing on them which were too late for but martin got me and his wife in for the 4pm show, i took footage on my phone but of course it was dark, very smoky and very noisy and my htc camera couldn't focus on anything. the show also had sexy women that youde expect on page 3 of the Sun fire breathing and creating sparks with a powertool. not the vibrating kind
had a nice day but i woudlnt not have paid for it myself if i had not got in
My friend martin looking at a bike identical to the ones he has. (he knows this bike too, i cannot remember the details though).
I have seen many superbikes in his workshop he has
scooters (i do like the burger)
(pcx a few bikes along)
other bikes
Me with celebz!

If your mate has one of those, he must be a wealthy man, they are extremely rare and should be worth a fortune.
Four decades on two wheels has taught me nothing, all advice given is guaranteed to be wrong
