Wahoo! that's 9 and we have 8 minutes to go.

If you didn't have to enter the reg number when buying a ticket, I'd have booked a spare just for the extra space...

I could have had an R6 at any point but I don't want a Sportbike. It's too forward for me, I can't adjust to the riding style for more than riding customer's bikes to the test center down the road. Next bike I want is an FZ1N - I like my naked-fighter stances.

I had an FZS600 for a year which is the Frankenstein lovechild of the 1998 R6, R1 and Thundercat and the brakes were awesome, the top end power was awesome and it cornered.... okay. It didn't turn like the XJ600 does, it could have been something with the frame I don't know. I'd own another one though, too right.
 
I HAVE A TICKET SPARE FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO COME - £5.

We need 10 on the stand because I don't like odd numbers. This is killing me knowing we're so close and have 9.

Either we get 10 or I'm not going, just to make it an even 8 :joy:
 
Hurry up and get it.
Only 10 more sleeps
I will pay your £5 so it's now free.!!!

Yeah I think that's the direction I'll be coming from. A1 looks most straightforward from York

The postcode for the travelodge is TS2 12JX. It's about 5 min from the A1. You will pass the show entrance but only by 2min. The gates open at 9am so if we leave the travelodge carpark at 8.45 we can join the que to get in.

Sounds good to me! Although a nice early start 😲 best get my shit together the night before!!
 
I thought it didn't start till 11? I'm coming but I've knackered my foot so I'm coming but sadly not walking round. Who lives in Hartlepool?

I've always loved sports bikes, sadly they no longer love me, I use a Varadero most days now, buggered if I'm getting rid of them though. Apologies for the bike talk!
