If you've never been give it a go, but to be honest I've been twice & thought it was a bit of a rip off

I have been for the last few years and if i'm honest its the same old stuff and last year i took my missus and daughter and her boyfriend so cost me nearly £40 to get in and we looked round in just over an hour, the same with the Newton Abbot one at the racecourse, if i'm honest i would rather blow £50 on a couple of tanks of fuel and have a good day out..............

I have to agree with that,

yeh

I'll be there with the Dyno truck again this year, the organiser have told me that there will be more there this year, including a large auto jumble area, and they are trying desperately to bring back the sprinting that stopped a few years ago. There will be a new layout this year, following various comments from both traders and members of t he public.
As for the Newton Abbot show I attended with the Dyno truck in 2007 and it was a complete waste of my time, needless to say I didn't bother last year.

I've heard the organizers have jumped the gun a little bit and advertised people being there that had no intentions of going as last years was so poor. Don't be suprised if there's less stalls and dealers there this year than last year. Other then the boys on the stunt bikes you don't see anything different to a day riding around the local bike shops who don't charge you a entry fee to get in....

how much ur truck gonna be mate?

yup i'll be there, i may even get the RR dynoed

i have been like twice and i admit its the same haven't been for like nearly 3 years so im going this year jay wheres about you commin from and will the swb stall be there this year ?

The Dyno is normally £20 per bike, but obviously you lot get a discount at the show, so you will only pay £15 per bike. As long as you make yourselves known to me before the bike is loaded onto the dyno, you can do this by adding your forum name to your name when you sign the disclaimer form.

Might come along.. will there be the mini drag strip?

I don't know yet whether the sprint will be back or not, it is still being discussed as it hasn't been run for a few years now, but the organisers have been trying to get it running again.

I went in 2005 and the sprint strip was there.. and then when I went in 2006 it was gone, I havent been back since..
