David and I had an excellent time at this always friendly show. I do a lot of shows and I always reckon this show is one of the best for the public. Some of the traders mentioned that there was so much on (especially those mental stuntriders) that people were not shopping enough but I reckon people want a show, not a motorcycle kit market.

Also the South West bikers are amongst the friendliest I come across and the ear plugs and cannisters went down very well. (continue reading…)

I went to this show at Wanstead RFC in North East London and I have to say it was unimpressive. Apart from meeeting up with a lot of former clients of both mine and the firms, and having met a number of genuinely nice people, the show was poor value for the people who paid £8 to get in, and frankly if I had paid £8 to get in I would have been very disappointed. We won’t be going next year, and the weather was nothing to do with it. Most of the traders and bikers who I spoke to were pretty unimpressed.

John and Rhiannon attended the Ludgershall Bike Night in Ludgershall, between Bicester and Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire on the 6th July. (continue reading…)

Last weekend, Rhiannon and I attended the ‘On Two Wheels’ Event in Kingsbury Square in Aylesbury town centre.  It was good to meet quite a few local bikers and IAM instructors.  Both my Duke and Rhiannon’s Triumph seemed to draw quite a bit of attention from passers by…  most seemed to show good taste and preferred the Ducati!

This mini show was not just restricted to motorbikes as there was a bicycle stunt show and a ‘Cycle Aylesbury’ stand helping people out by servicing their bicycles.  As someone who spends quite a bit of time not only on my motorbike but also on my bicycle around Aylesbury, it is good to see how 2-wheel friendly the town is.
