HEY HEY HEY .. Good to see you guys too .. i still dont believe those two young ladies were your daughters KAZ..you must be using Camay or something.... KEV m8 thanks again for the "box o goodies m8" ill see about fittng them to the bike next sunny morning we get here.. I also dont believe i came away without buying anything!!

mind you when three bacon rolls and twa cups o tea was Â£9.80 and a burger was Â£5 nae wonder , too bloody cold to watch the stunt shows or tryout the supermotos. sat on a few bikes walked around and around...kinda like the Barras for bikers......got flashed a fantastic smile from one of the lycra clad lovleys , the Mrs is still glowering.
no cuddles for Marty the nicht then!!

Hi all,
good to see some friendly faces at the show yesterday, like everyone else i didn't buy anything but some lycra clad beauty took Â£3 out my pocket and gave me a bag of auto trader goodies, quite good value actually as there was a car trader, a bike trader, the new 2006 aa road atlas, a bottle of auto glym shampoo stuff and a pen in the bag.

did have a seat on the new aprillia tuono R, was well impressed, the foot pegs are quite high compared with what i'm used to but i guess you'd need that to create enough leverage to stay on the thing when your going full tilt.

nice meeting you kazz and pete ,good to put names to faces be more of that at inverness ,

i bought some bike trousers ,cleaning stuff,but i was going back on sunday to buy boots and lots more and it got cancelled , which was a bummer but the roads were really bad with a few BIG roads being closed

i have been going to the show for a few years and it seems to be getting smaller still the best we have up here and i did enjoy it
we thought the food was really cheap ours came to about Â£10 for 3 of us

the shows are in winter to try and help dealers make sales i would think, drum up a bit of interest in a quiet period, and they are to busy servicing and racing bikes in the summer.

yup, there was 8" of snow fell overnight on saturday here, glasgow airport was shut for most of sunday, and all the busses and taxis went off over saturday night leaving people who were out clubbing it stranded.

Lol, i was out in paisley, got home before the worste of the snow, one club, the bus station and a hotel in glasgow were turned into refuge centers for anyone stuck there with out transport.
