Was gonna go up on Sunday 5th, but talked myself out of it 5 mins before getting in the car

so many people saying it wasn't worth going after they had been

went out and treated myself to a new Tomtom Go 910 instead !

I went on Friday and really enjoyed myself. I may be easier to please than some though. I went by car for the first time. I usually ride up to avoid buying too much stuff but this time I was on a mission to find a new track lid and got an Arai Condor for £200 which I'm very pleased with, plus the black visor which I couldn't get a deal on but wasn't too disappointed because it looks fantastic. Tried it on a bit of a bimble on Saturday and am very happy with it.

Saw Leon Haslam being interviewed, which was very interesting, drooled over the Airwaves Ducatis, Randy Mamola gave a really good interview too and then there was a quiz with James Toseland and Randy on opposing teams. I thought it was fun. I like the atmosphere of bikers mooching about and didn't feel disappointed even though there was no Ducati stand there, but then I knew that before I went so it didn't bother me.

yeah shame ducati were at Milan so not much to look at, saw a few things that were more expensive than in the shops ie. ducati wallet £9.00 they're normally £3.50! A few things were rip offs.

the parking £7.00 that's a joke, shame they can't include a bit in the ticket, it's not like there is a town anywhere that would attract shoppers for anything else there! then they have the audacity to say free shuttle bus, bloomin not it's cost £7.00!

Just heard that the NEC is 30% down too this year, i guess it's cos nobody got any money, in the recession nobody admits we're having, and with not as much there this year, who blames anyone for not going!

Hi, I popped in last Monday and you could do the complete tour very quickly with very few people around, it is a shadow of it's former years, it goes on too long and therfore costs the exhibitors in stand fees and wages.
I am going to Milan next week, free ticket, cheap flight -1p each way plus tax It will be interesting to compare between the 2.

Have a good day
