Motorcycle Live 2014

Richard

Your not going to come back from the NEC having brought a 300bhp Kawasaki Ninja H2. :wink:

Wont be able to go as already going to watch the All Black give Wales a kicking in Cardiff next month :biggrin:

Also Operation desert rat bike has resumed, hope to get a fair bit done over the winter.

 

I'm hoping to get there. It's a very short trip for me.

 

Me and my mates go every year
Have only just got my first triumph so will look forward to see what kit I could buy for it

 

I know what motorcycle I'm getting next year, however I do like to see what others are showing.

 

I shall be there with a few pals, normal order is wonder round looking at bikes, then stop over on say night for curry and quite a few beers. Happy days...

Be interesting to see the new kwak h2 and I'm hoping the new r1 isn't a revelation - I really can't afford one as well as the speed which I won't be selling

 

Im hoping to be there, never been before.....fingers crossed.

 

I'm going, tickets booked on line, not far to travel for me.

The only thing I don't get is Triumph don't take any gear just the bikes which is a shame.

Going on the Monday should be bit quieter

Mark

 

I hope it's a really good event. I'm looking forward to it.

 

As Richard says about the car park,it is cheaper , think it is a fiver, but also much easier to get out of the car park. I go to lots of concerts there and know how bad it can be.

I am not going this year, have been with free tickets for past two years ( friend works in the industry) but even without having to pay i found it boring last year. It was all a bit same old same old to me, the only bike i sat on and felt at home with straight away was the Tiger Sport. I dont think much of new bikes tbh,ok they look lovely but they are kind of sterile to me. I do love the speed triple but when i sat on one it felt all wrong for my weird shaped body,I was gutted. prefer the old 955i, that is my dream bike right now,oh or a mark 1 speedy,or a 70s hurricane. norton 750 commando, or a mint cb750 k0.................see what I mean??
Didnt even like the classic bike section, there are only so many 1959 Bonnies i can take, and same with goldies,love them, but..........
Anyway time to stop being grumpy now,hope you all have a great time there.

 

Go every year. Normally by bike but this time it's in a car with a mate who's mothballed his bikes till next spring. He suffers with arthritis in his knees. So bikes are seasonal.

I thought I'd offer him a day out and leave mine in the garage.

Oh and have you noticed the amount of blokes getting out of cars in the carpark wearing full biker kit!! They look like they're faking riding to the show??

 

lol could be worse, coming on the bus and showing your pensioners pass with your leather jacket and levi cut off over it, deep purple in rock patch.faded jeans tucked into lewis leathers touring boots.

 

Me and the Mrs are going.We normally go about every other year.Looking forward to this year as there seem to be quite a few new models out.

Looking forward to the new R1200RS and generally clambering all over anything I can.

I might have a look at some luggage but not planning to sell the Speed next year,trouble is the SWMBO is looking to change her's,I'll leave the credit card at home!

 

Blimey I've been spotted again.:upyeah::wink:

 

I might try this as waiting for the shuttle bus drives me nut's.
If I park at the station can I just walk over to the NEC or do I go through the station?

 

Go through the main door to the station opposite the car park. Go up the escalator and just follow the signs it isnt far at all. Have a good day there

 

Thanks for that.
I intend to clamber over everything I can,will report back.
