    I got a free ticket for tonight so I'll be there after work.

    I think I'll use tonight to scout around and head in again tomorrow to buy gear.

    Picked up a Shark Vision-R for €180 from Cotters at the show.

    Same as this one

    www.helmetcity.co.uk/products/Shark-Vision-%252dR-Blank-BLK.html

    Happy with the price of it. Not many other deals that I saw

    I seen a good few stewards there directing the bikes to park but I'm not too sure how much of an eye they kept on them.

    Thats a pisser.

    I was going to put a top box on for some storage, I hate dragging a packpack, helmet and padded clothing around.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,282 ✭✭✭BlackWizard


    Too many bikes to really keep an eyes on them all.

    Great show though. I loved the racing event. Lots of bikes to sit on and gawk at.

    Is it me or does anyone else think those scantily dressed lassies all look a bit trashy?

    I was at it a few years ago and they had free lockers. It was advertised though, so if they're doing them it'll probably say on their website

    Did everyone get freebies :P

    (yes I did too, and thought I was special :p )

    Thats a pisser about the parking, I was hoping to save weight and not have to bring locks for both wheels.

    Is it worth 15 notes in lads ???

    It was about two hours of entertainment for me. All I wanted to do was have a look around.

    Not sure that I would have gone if I did not get the free ticket.
    But if you are looking to buy something, or there is something else specific that you want from the show, it would be worth it.

    Not interested in buying anything in particular to be honest.

    I had to topbox on the bike and I left the helmet in it. I parked to the left of the front door as it was the first place I saw free. There was some 'officials' around but they didn't look like they were doing much not even directing traffic.

    I don't think my bike was messed but I had disc locked the front wheel anyway.
