Don't know why you are bothering to go, it is always crap and there isn;t anythng there you cant find at a dealership without having to pay for it. Of course there is the trade stands but you don't get any 'deals' and the others are just jumble.
Yep, lets all stay in the house and watch TV. Why even bother going to the dealers because you can buy it all on line anyhow. That said it was raining and mucky but it was nice to see the new Multistrada, R1 and the Kawasaki H2 in the flesh. Knockhill stand is doing good discounts for events. It was also nice bumping into lots of people I hadn't seen since last year. Also nice talking to Dennis Hobbs and finding out about plans for the 2015 Tri Options Cup. But yep, why bother.....
Meeting your friends or people you hadn't seen in a while isn't a real reason to go to a bike show I thought it was to see bikes, or do you not visit them at any other time? If not then they aren't really friends then are they? £16 to get in and £5 for parking so £21 just to get in plus whatever it cost to get there, to see everything you can at a dealership yep I can see why you should definately go....
Just come back, was a good boys day out, with pisstaking and beer. And nice Maxis girls. And some bikes. Found the 1299 fits me better than the new R1
