Default Anyone going to the NEC Bike Show

Just got my tickets delivered today. We are going down early on saturday morning but Jorge Lorenzo is opening the show at 10am so expecting it to be a little bit busy.
Im not going to buy anything in perticular so just a look at whats new out to compete with our "balistic couch".
I'll take my camera try some Celebrity spotting.

Im going to try and get a Tee shirt made like Gaz nobrains did for his europe trip, probably not enough time now though. If anyone else from the forum is going i will try to keep an eye out ENJOY. (pictures when i get back )

Take a look at the new Ninja 1000 (not the ZX-10) and give me your opinion of it

Yeah, it's based on the Z1000 but set up for a more touring role

What a day WOW a bit of snow on the way but well worth it. You could sit on the bikes as they were secured upright on the floor.
It was'nt too busy as you could'nt move and not many freebees and for all the nice bikes there its good to know ive got the CBR1f at home.

As requested by Malbojah the Ninja 1000 was on a turntable sports & tourer side by side. there was a lot of interst in them, the tourer looked comfey & a nice size also the Green was VERY Green maybe just the bright lights.

We saw Jamie Whitham (Eurosport commentator) filming, Chalie Boorman a long way off on a stage & Jorge Lorenzo's moto GP bike & bling Helmet but not him .
