Feedback from the show.
If you want to have a go on the ride outs supermoto or offroad places are verrrrrrrry limited so you need to book on
as near as 9am as poss, or don't bother at all unless you want to spend the day queing.
**VERY IMPORTANT you need both the plastic and paper parts of the licence or no rides.**
Some beautiful models on show, the one wearing leather hotpants and using a pole had my vote although mutton dressed as lamb came to mind for some of them.
CCM's bikes looked good but impracticle for everyday use, bmw's new 650's ok I could even get on the lower seat version and enfields are enfields.
Had good look at the Chinese and Korean bikes on show. The future certainly looks bright if they can improve their looks and hold their prices.
My 6 year old had his first ride on a motorbike on the honda stand so his day was ok. I had a race with charlotte on minimotos.
Only Eldest daughter, Alice felt left out she wisely declined a go on minimotos as last time she had a go it set off with out her!!
Only downer was seeing the immediate aftermath of RTC on M1 involving a bike versus car. With car parked on top of bike, Road closed and air ambulance involved. Certainly reminds you of the down side of biking.
Ride safe
