After seeing your pics l-k,I am thinking that if I get tickets next year I might have to keep them,and make the journey ;D ;D
looks like you had a brilliant day. :y
About those Nortons, got mixed feelings. got caught riding a dunstall commando when I was 16 :-[ :-[ (arse kicking from judge)
Later found out that as well as leaking oil like an old texas well,they dont like it when you rev them reaaly hard.bloke behind had a big lump of exhaust valve stuck in his helmet and one conrod came out to see what the outside world looked like. :D ;D

Have to say Albs a brilliant day, worth the trip up next year and it was packed out.... must have made a fortune :y
I went to the mcn show at excel (docklands) last year.It was utter sh1te,I got bored after an hour and went home, the stafford one looks brilliant though. :y

The pictures I have posted are all from inside, there is also tonnes of stalls selling parts for new and old bikes, I was also suprised of how many motorbikes were for sale, crossers, choppers, Brit Bikes, frames everything you could think of.
Also there was a wall of Death which we didn't go into, but Justin was sinking pretty fast so we came away. But we will go again next year nothing so certain, may buy myself a brit bike to play with me thinks :y

First piccy is a (much lusted after) Suzuki RG500....4 cylinder 2 stroke with if memory serves 95 bhp....190 BHP per litre some 20 years or so ago. :y :y

Must admit I went to look at a Gamma 500 when I had my Power Valve as a step up from it, but wasn't impressed with the one I went to see.... so didn't have it, but I have tried a few times to catch a couple which i didn't succeed in doing with a YPVS ;D  also struggled against the NS400R which also look gorgeous, but still a 2 stroke boy at heart me thinks :y
This is the same colour as the one i looked at which was also there today, still get my pulse racing :y



Me too, here's a pick of my last bike. I know i've posted this a few times, but what the hell ::)
