..I can see Ryanair rubbing their hands with glee re the NEC trippers: not much you can buy at a bike show will qualify for hand luggage. I'd imagine a helmet will, but god help you with full leathers/paddock stand/Ducati etc
Oh, and another thing: unless you're actually going outside, DON'T bring a coat - you'll die of dehydration ! You can get from the plane to the NEC without going outside. This cunningly allows you to wear any potential purchases on the way back
So, travel light, bring Solpadeine/Panadol (can get very stuffy), and drink loads of water.Ode To The Motorist

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

How did you get on with bringing the helmet Georgey, the reason I'm asking is that I'm hoping to bring a helmet as hand luggage but it's 25cms wide and ryanairs max width allowance is 22cms, I'd usually chance it but ryanair seem to be checking the size and weight of every bag lately.

I didn't get a lid in the NEC in the end. Couldn't get the right deal on the lid I wanted XR1100. Apparently Shoei had warned the traders that they would lose their shoei agency (!! I think thats the word!!) if they discounted these lids!
Ryanair a re pretty strict now. i was in the UK 2 weeks ago and they were walking around with a bottomless cardboard box and if it had to be forced over your bag then you had to check it in!!!! One bloke had only just bought his 'airoplane friendly' bag and a buckle was stopping the box from fitting over the bag. He wasn't a happy camper.0 -

Just a warning - Ryanair use Servisair to check in passengers at BHX and they were more rigourously checking bag sizes etc there than any actual Ryanair staff I've encountered elsewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if they were on commission as the charge for putting a bag in the hold at the gate is €50.0 -

A passenger has the right to be screened/searched in a private room or behind a screened area.
These airport staff dont like telling you that though,as they think its fun to make a drama scene out of these sorts of matters.
.....and it would be fun to give them a drama, if it were me !! (body of a Greek God* :pac: :P )
