[pinnit]

[Hairy Fifer]

The old crew had a meet there about 3 years ago............
15 mins round the place then spent a fekin fortune on beer $4 a pint we have been better going to a wee boozer and looking at bikes on an ipad

Unfortunately this year it falls on the Fife All Twats Eve weekend. It is a night when our locals build a 19' man out of Tupperware, set fire to it and tut as it fall to the ground. then we find 3 Methil virgins and burn their giros by moonlight. It's only then the festivities really start and a packet of scampi flavored fries are shared around the villagers. I normally dance naked around a Vauxhall Corsa.......... Nothing to do with the celibration but its better than going to the Scottish bike Show.......
Nae doubt see you there

Ps Yes John ya Buffy I've been drinking again.

[2002r1jon]

I can tell youve been drinking,youve spelt Flavored wrong(Flavoured),or is that the Scots way?

[Coullio]

Its utter sh!te. We had a long weekend last year, down on the Friday to see some pandas, then a trip to Ikea on the Sat and the show on the Sun, spent 1 hour in the place and headed home to Aberdeen. It's now wall to wall cheap motorcycle clothing sold by people who have never even ridden a bike in their life. After being down to the last 2 nec shows its makes the Scottish one look like a cattle market.

[stug]

I vowed years ago that I would never go back as its bollocks.
The only thing that was ever good about the Scottish show was the stunt show they used to have and since that stopped its not worth going.
As Coullio said its full of people trying to sell cheap sh!t leathers at near full price, no real bargains to be had anymore.
Spend the day going round your local bike dealers and see almost the same stuff.
I know a lot of people say that if people dont support it it will disappear, but personally I dont think it would be missed.

[YamahAl]

Going on the sat kids love the wall of death and I like anything to do wi bikes and let's face it not as if there's alot to do anyway

Yip and I bet if you had a off this sh!te they will disintegrate!! I have vision me out riding with said garments and watching the stitching rip apart. I noticed a few cheapo chat stalls at the Nec but they seemed to be stuck in the corner. They have a law for crash helmet well it should be the same for leather, textiles, boots & gloves. These clowns would use any old sh!te.

[Coullio]

Or the other option is go straight to the bar and get completely wankered!!!!

[pinnit]

aye used to like stunt show, crossan will be ower from irland n they have good gear, worth gannin to see the show totty

[pinnit]

[Hairy Fifer]

WHAT A LOAD OF SH### glad the other half paid or a would have been well fecked aff paying to get into that
Had a stall selling handbags ( think for Harley riders ) car boot sale selling tools (think that for Kawasaki riders ) and skip outside (a was told it was a busa but am no believing the guy ) some nice bikes but just crap compared to the London show we went to last year as others on the post have said I won't be back now used to enjoy it but gets worse every year

[Luke03R1]

so you wouldn't recommend it then

[YamahAl]

so you wouldn't recommend it then

Lol only reason to go tomorrow would be to meet John mcguiness who is there at the knockhill stand but you pay £16 for the privilege to get in and a£5 to park really is that bad!

[Coullio]

Looks like I saved money then!!!

[YamahAl]

Looks like I saved money then!!!

Yeah you did worst I've seen the show won't be going back unless it's improved dramatically,

[Coullio]

Yeah you did worst I've seen the show won't be going back unless it's improved dramatically,

I went down in 2010 and spent most of my time in the bar. I missed 2011 but went back in 2012 and then I decided to save my money for NEC. It will die a slow death unless it improves.

Down at the NEC its all bike related, no pointless stalls selling stuff you never need. Ok you still have the cheapo chat stalls but you have the stalls selling the stuff you want. I was down again last year and spend 2 days there Sat & Sun and I must have walked round 100 times. I might go back down to the NEC this year as I will be looking for a new pair of boots for next season, unless I buy a pair before that. They either need to make it better or just stop it.

[stug]

You should all have listened and heeded the warnings before going.
I think they need a better venue cause inglistons sh!t.

[Hairy Fifer]

Ingilston is sh!t but it would be no better in the Weege
Any how's weather is getting better
What about a wee social get together....... Like the old days?
