Totto - come over for the DSC dinner on the Sat 29th, stay over at the hotel - then whiz up the m/way on the Sunday morning (take you just over the hour) & go to the NEC
We did preview day one year. Less crowds, more girls (so I beleive). Costs more, but you stand a chance of getting near the tasty stuff (I mean the bikes, really). I'm pushing for preview day again this year with some mates, but I might be out-voted. I'll check the Ducati stand at 12 though whatever day I am there. Look out for a DSC T shirt.
