Nec Bike Show

[Studley Ramrod]

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 !

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 !

The Carbon Diavel was more like it

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

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

Speaking of beauties

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:
