In fact they taste like battered dung beetles so I’ll make it my mission to spare anyone else the ordeal of having to eat any, of course you are most welcome to be my “co-pilot” in eliminating these awful things from our fine city.. LMAO                                                                                                                                                                             

Paul ...... its a thankless task but i accept the challenege .......... after all it is my fair city these good folk are attending and i want them going home with nothing but good memories not foul tasting choc ones.......... i hope you all appreciate the sacrifice we are making 

My apologies ........... chocolate then beer
                                                                                                                                                                             

So thermals is fine then   Joking aside they may well be under what I will be wearing heheheheh   yipeeeeeeeeeeee  1 more sleep left ... see you all tomorrow                                                                                                                                                                              

Well all i can say is i`m glad i went to the nec bike show   erm thats wrong got dragged to the show to be honest can`t   complain though got a new bike out of it after seeing the B king in   the flesh soo glad i went to the suzy stall and sat on the bike yeah   individual but its different to other crotch rockets.                                                                                                                                                                                 

The NEC bike show has been hailed a success despite visitor numbers falling by almost 24,000.

This year just 110,974 people visited the 10-day Birmingham-based show in contrast to 134,465 last year.

But this shortfall is in line with organisers’ expectations and hasn’t stopped some manufacturers like Norton having a great show and making dozens of sales.

Finlay McAllan, managing director at MCIE, said: “Providing a positive platform to reach an audience of in excess of 110,000 underlines the Show’s position as the UK’s premier motorcycle Show in spite of what is quite clearly a stifling economic climate.”

Personally, it was one of the best NEC bike shows I have been too - just the right amount of visitors to create an atmosphere but not feel crowded.                                                                                                                                                                             

i must admit it was one of the best shows ive been to perhaps they just to big anyway ??                                                                                                                                                                             

Would be good if some of the exhibitors were absent from the Scottish show this year - they cram too much into those little halls and you can't move or see  anything!                                                                                                                                                                             

Will be interesting to see who shows and who pulls out of the Manchester one in January....                                                                                                                                                                             

TC ur rite last time i went to Scottish show it was like being crammed into a wee box ............................ still had my butt felt several times so maybe its not all bad
