I work nightshift so for me it will be at the last minute spur of the momment if I do go .
The last few years I have found it was pretty shit boring and not worth the petrol and admission to go .

Just saw the '08. Must say I was a little underwhelmed. I was hoping the styling behind the kanji was painted (really nice two tone shadow type action) but was wrong. Just too many decals.

Overall nice, but I won't be drooling too hard over them.

That's not such a bad thing. Easy to remove them and get some airbrushed to individualise.

Was there this morning and quite impressed with the 08, the burnt orange does it for me. the matching black has like blue pearl in the paint. I can imagine how the bike would look in the sunlight, a crowd puller. I like the rear end and the tail end of mudflap is ok not as bad as in pics and one could say a finished off look.

Had a good yarn with one of the Suzi blokes there. He reckons most if not all bikes coming in are already pre-sold and due around mid Nov. So if your wanting from first batch better put your order in and twist some arms. That bike on show is the only one currently in oz. Vin # if I remember correctly 101003, but dont quote me.

B-King is gonna give other bikes of its class a good competition, looks pretty mean. naked isnt my preference but wud love to give it a go.

Exhibition stalls your usual crap. Go with money in your hip pocket and will probably stay there. Tho same cant be said for overall visit. Went in with car. Entrance $16, car park $11 (up to 2 hrs) snack $8.90. Those going in with bike look for some grassy knowless in Normanby Street I think its called.

The rest of the show? well I hardly noticed anything, same ol, same ol. But there was a 'Spyder' 3 wheeler that caught the eye, wasnt sure whether its amphibious (in water to).

Dats it.

Today is "Silly Sunday" for me. In other words, I dont want to take all of the stock home, so I will be discounting very heavily on all my items.

So if you were thinking of going, come in and see me as I know you WILL grab a bargain today
