when i first got my licence i went there i got loads of stuff which made the trip more than worthwhile.  have been a couple of times since and cant remember seeing any particularly great prices

my sidi's are on their last legs (aka fooked) so wondering if i should wait for NEC or just stump up. the online prices dont seem to be fair off retail for boots like the SMX Plus's





right wrist fun

I've never gone to the NEC expecting a bargain, as I know I'd be disappointed. I prefer to buy the things I want rather what happens to be on offer, and where there is a reasonable prospect of finding the vendor again if they don't work, break or turn out they don't fit properly.

I do go to the NEC every year. Mainly because I like stumping up and obscene amount of money to get there in diesel (never go by bike), pay lots of dosh to get in (last year I paid twice as I left my ticket in the van) and buy a couple of pints and get no change from a tenner. Oh and the foods awful, and overpriced too. And they don't seem to have the females enticing you onto stands like they used to.....

But I'll still go - I'm a creature of habit

Went along last year, needed a new lid but it wasn't my main reason for going, got my lid from the helmet city stand for £30 less than there normal price so wasn't too bad I suppose

I used to go every year;

1, Because its only about 30min from my dads.

2, The great bargains you get.

3, The live arena

4, The ample amount of gorgeous ladies

 

I hadnt bee for ages but then i went 2 years ago, you dont get the amazing deals you used to although there is still sometimes a deal to be had. There is nowhere near as many hot chics as there used to be and they charge you for the live arena, im pretty sure they never used to when i went years ago. Oh yeah and im not always at my dads anymore so have alot futher to travel.

Im still going this year though
