hi Daz
i am good, hope your are well, may be see Sunday 2nd December at bike show? if not next spring.
i have added more parts to my 1198, power commander v and quick action throttle now is a beast?
see ya soon tony

 

I'll be there bright and early this Friday.

 

Ditto. I want to get there early to get some good photos of the bikes before it gets too busy, which i'll chuck up on my site. Look out for a tall moody looking bald fellow as there's a good chance that will be me

 

Is anyone from the swansea area going to the show this weekend want to share traveling .

 

Tall moody bald fellow ? Not much of a description is it ?

 

If you ever met me, you'd realise just how accurate that description is

 

I'll look out for you then

 

Me to but not that early, i have to take one of the little ones to school first so i am aiming for 10.30 ish but then leaving at 13.30 as i have to then collect at 15.30 ...... there is just not enough hours in the day !

 

he is pretty bloody tall. And bald

 

I'll be there hopefully about 10 am fri

 

Well that was fun. Nice to see the new bikes and there were some very helpful people at the Ducati and especially the Kawasaki stand. I met and had a nice chat with John McAvoy who was very generous with his time and advice. Met Chris Walker and bought some levers and some R&G stuff for less than they should have cost. All in all a good day, even thou it was a lot busier than I thought it would be. I hope that all who went enjoyed it

 

So who's going tommorow .

 

Saw some moody, bald guys there, who thought I was chuffing mad asking them if they owned a Ducati. Saw a Pirate though !

Spent £340, £350, £250, £67.50 and not necessarily in that order. Free parking also !

Need some levers now 'cos I don't want these shorty Pazzos on my bike. ASV's were £150, but not that keen.

 

I have to say the place seemed filled with moody blokes, but that was mostly around the BMW stand :biggrin: Sounds like you had a great little spending spree. I looked at the titax ones, but they didnt think they'd suit my bike. I was tempted with Pazzo, or Metaltech Racing ones, but there was something about the ASVs I liked. The man at the counter was very helpful and knowledgeable as well, which was nice

 

I wanted the metisse X levers - luckily there were none for sale at show

ASV were nice though

 

Went on Wednesday and bought an EDZ undersuit, powerbronze airflow screen but could have spent a whole heap more at the oberon stand on the clutch pressure plates / springs / clutch cover and clutch spanner !. Didnt find a decent hugger though !

 

Oberon makes some very nice stuff :tongue:

 

Me and the missus heading up tomorrow, will probably be crammed for those last day deals but needs to be done.
