That's what I don't understand. I've attended 100's of trade shows around the world, plenty at the nec, and the vast majority cost the exhibitors £10's of thousands in stand builds and most don't charge the customer to come. Just seems a bit backwards if you want the footfall
The entrance fee might be to target interested people as opposed to famlies who are bored and want a change from the bowling alley to amuse their kids?
get there early and there’s a couple of small mx type tracks for the kids , i don’t go every year , only bought a wheel cleaning brush . Mainly went to check out the MV stand
Maybe, but I'd have thought a nominal amount per entry would be better for that, it's only £1 for kids. Not going to lie....bowling was shit today
free with an Irish passport ! A couple of us fly over every year and stay in the ibis beside the nec got absofuckinlutley thrashed last year it took me a week to recover but compared to the rubbish Irish shows its a good gig !
I went today not a bad day out to be fair ,but with the internet you almost know what to expect , best value bike in my opinion was the r1m.
Tuesday for me and mate....wanna see the z1000h2 - if the financial winds are going my way ill get one...SF is way too expensive...having said that the alternative to a new zed is upgrades for a couple...NIX 30's for the zed and rsv4...
The only thing you need to consider is depreciation - I'm pretty sure the SF (if spec'd well) will suffer less depreciation than the Kwak.
Meh - im not worried about that...i keep bikes for a long time...having said that i could happily wait for the first new ones to come up second hand... I think thats the thing though...people buy and sell bikes so quickly IMO these days then for most it will be an issue...last bike i bought was 4 years ago....still got the RSV4 almost 9 years on...and even then i only paid 7.2k for it...i was lucky...at the time...
