Am l right in thinking that you can park your car in the national motorcycle museum car park for free

go in for a cooked breakfast

and then walk across to the nec?

You can def park for free while having breakfast, whether you'll get away with leaving it there for the show..... there are signs up! And it's quite a trek to the nec, but good luck.

There was a mahoosive computer show on at the NMM and we were extremely lucky to find a parking space.  You could pay the £7.50 admission fee and then park up at the NMM but it is a fair slog over to the NEC.  Prolly best to pre-book parking at the NEC for £10 and catch the free bus service from car park to the centre, and back. 

A day spent walking around the show and the last thing you wanna do is a long walk to get to your car. Wink

Quote:Brekky at the National Motorcycle Museum was excellent.  Fresh and plentiful, if a tad more expensive than it was in previous years.

The new MT10 was on display.  Whilst I liked the looks, the size of it disappointed, it's a wee thing !

 

[Image: attachicon.gif]MickMT10.jpg

 

After seeing the photos, I'd expected it to be a rip snortling beastly looker of a bike, oozing testosterone and uber manliness.  Seemed to work for Alunl tho !  Big Grin

The Carbon Diavel was more like it

Norton displayed their wares, some a tad weird, like this one kitted with plastic machine guns Huh

 

[Image: attachicon.gif]Img_0118.jpg

 

Others seemed more in line with what you'd expect from Norton, like this beauty.

Speaking of beauties Big Grin

I managed to get their attention without being arrested !

They say beauty is in the eye of the beer holder, waddya all reckon to this ?

Sidey's 'boy' Christopher, still growing I reckon ! Lol

 

[Image: attachicon.gif]Woohoo.jpg

 

And finally, as promised, some photos for Tintin of the SV650's on display, there were loads of 'em !

 

[Image: attachicon.gif]SVa.jpg[Image: attachicon.gif]SVb.jpg[Image: attachicon.gif]SVc.jpg[Image: attachicon.gif]SVd.jpg[Image: attachicon.gif]SVe.jpg

 

I ended up leaving with a new flip front helmet, an LS2 Strobe, for £75.  It was a great fit compared to my Caberg, slightly better quality too.  Also got some Richa gloves, reduced from £39.99 to £19.99 and a pack of 3 Oxford Comfy's that were on special offer when booking the ticket. :good:

 

Great to meet up with Sidey and the boy, as always, and also to meet up with Alunl for the first time. :good:

 

Sorry I didn't phone you Favs, it was all over before I realised I hadn't phoned you mate. :blush2:
Thanks for that Ian..As you said the MT10 is small & doesn't look that mush different to the Naked XJ6 from the side.

Out of that lot I would have the SV. Its just my kind of bike. :badgerrock:

There's a bike show review TV show  on Eurosport, it'll be repeated regularly this week I'm sure. Towards the end of the show Matt Roberts is reviewing the Suzuki Vanvan and there's a real handsome bassad stood behind him in the background  :pimp: . I'm sure I saw Dablik 15 minutes in in a 70s brown leather jacket.

Yes ,dual clutch model too expensive. Both seem engineered to a profit line. Pannier on R is a joke. Panniers are worst of both-plastic frame & aluminium panels. Feels small,dash-instruments disappointing.
