Motorcycle Live 2017

Post by menzies3032 »

I am off to Motorcycle live on 20th with a car full. Planning to try and get a deal on an x-lite helmet looking for an X-702 or an X-661.

Anybody else planning on going and what's on the shopping list?

Lots of new metal to look at this year so going to be taking lots of photos.

Went up today. Thought it was the best show in a few years.

Lots of interesting new bikes, more clothing & accessory stalls actually offering some decent deals.

Surprised myself with a couple of bikes I liked - Triumph Thruxton R & Norton Dommiracer - still love the Ariel's, reckoned the new blade felt most "all day comfortable" of the litre sports bikes, and the Suzuki the most comfy of the Jap nakeds. The Zed felt very strange, with a tippy forward seat that put you in a most peculiar position.

There were some amazing specials tucked away in odd places too. Oh, and the totty seemed a better quality this year too - especially the Ducati stand :shock: :p :))
Of all the things I have ever lost, I miss my mind the most .....
