Bike Show in Belfast

[gsxf750]

Well lads anyone head up to the show? Any good thinkin of heading up there tomorrow.:smoke:

[dagda555]

Went up there today, pretty much the same as the rds but smaller. I ended up spending all my money at the Hein Gericke shop instead. It was worth the trip just to see the new zx10 though. Gorgeous bike.

[gsxf750]

is the stuff dear up there any deals on helmets????

[kneeslider]

Shoei XR1000 for £250 was a pretty god deal for helmet. Arai also had good deals.
The show was very small, to be hones not that impressed. Hein Gerrich sales is still on with big reguctions. Probabably better value there.

[iano]

xr-1000 is that the same as x-11???

...nice pics:rolleyes2:

[Marty LCI]

I'll probably be heading up in the c*ge today with camera and number one child in tow.
Called in after work early on Friday but it hadn't really kicked off yet and it was a pain in the arse lugging all my bike gear about with me. Still feel sweaty thinking about it, or was that the Ducati girls?

[Sheldon]

Brought the wife and kids up yesterday (Sat) and enjoyed it. Kids got a poster each and stickers on the Ducati stand which made their day. This kind of advertising worked as my 5 year old daughter made me buy her a Ducati jacket on the Clinton Enterprises stand. :rolleyes2:

We got some sweets on the biker doctors stand so all were happy.

[fastandy]

was a great show for a change,worth the visit!

[Sheldon]

Enjoyed it. Not too crowded and a lot to see. Some of the classics were in beautiful condition. Good day out.:thumbsup2:

[blitzer]

Went yesterday... freeeeezing cold but no snow :thumbsup2:


Spent 1 1/2 hours there had to leg it was late for going back to dub... mmm very small venue not that much to walk around (spend hours loike)

Did not give it as much time as I should probably but still ... just a taster of what's to come over @ the MCN show today! :thumbsup2:

Signup for the KTM trackday though!!! I'm going to try the RC8 :ninja:
:biggrin_old:

where is the ktm track day? you get to try an rc8....jammy git....how much is it?

[ruane]

Just back from there myself, was a good show with some interesting things to see. Didn't meet any of the lads from on here except at the petrol station in dundalk (sorry had to go, stupid cage was holding up traffic at the pump), but couple of lads from Kells were there. Still, got a new Arai Viper GT lid and a set of leathers (in HG on the way back). Not much selection there in terms of a two piece, and even then it was all takano stuff.

[Theblackbaron]

much the lid ruane ??

[ruane]

Arais startin at £199, the Vipers were £299 - £399. £350 for my one. Got a second clear visor with it and the pinlock inserts too, and had it fitted with bigger cheek pads and a riser. Coulda got a Chaser for a bit less or a Corsair for a bit more. Discounts weren't really that good but wanted another lid, and liked this one.

465 euro is a dam good price for a viper gt :thumbsup2:
They do be sellin for between 5 or 6 hundered down here
Will be takin me self up there soon enough ta get a new viper, tis the most comfy lid i`ve ever worn :thumbsup2:

[iano]

nice
what year is on the chin strap??

[Marty LCI]

When I grow up I wanna be like Dynamike :cool3:

[ruane]

I made sure to check the date before parting with the cash. Manufactured end of '06, so it's just over a year old. Yeah heard good things about the vipers being very comfy and reasonably quiet, otherwise would have gone with the RX7. Nice to get it professionally fitted too. Tried it on with 3 sizes of cheek pad and various size risers till it was perfect. Was going to get another shoei xr1000, they were going in any paintjob ya like for £250, but the arai fit sooo much better.

[Theblackbaron]

Their anything but quiet !! :unsure2:

[ruane]

My friends are all liars

[Theblackbaron]

I have a chaser and had a viper gt(till i smidsy`d it) and the chaser is quieter than the viper :thumbsup2:

[corky2004]

Don't talk to me, last night with the gales and all we had a power cut for about 45 secs or so resulting with the internet going belly up. Only just back on this evening so I was unable to arrange meet ups with you lot.

Got a hold of Marty LCI and the daughter and spent pleasant day with them.

Only took a few photos of the classic collection as all the rest of the newer models featured in NEC photos, plus a shot of Marty LCI's daughter, Aoife, on a Yamaha Giggley thing?????

What's the story here, letting the side down like that, should be ashamed of yourself. :biggrin_old:

were ye in the bar in the hall? We were standing beside ye if ye were!!

[thecrutch]

hi all here are a few pics of a bike dedicated to the memory of road racers killed, it looked class, all i had with me was my phone so the photo's don't do the bike justice

went up on the bike yesterday, bit windy on the way up, pissed rain all the way home, there was a serious change in the temperature from newry home, a lot colder.

enjoyed the show, though small, the new blade is still ugly in the flesh, the 2006/2007 model is way ahead on looks, i sat up on it and wont be buying one, too old/unfit for the contorsionist riding position, the r1 and gixxer 600 look class, not a fan of the zx10 or the pipe on z1000/z750
the new busa feels comfy as does the triumph 1050 sprint

a few nice classics out the back, RD 400 / RD 350, the RC 30 was a peach
:biggrin_old:

[sumpnut]

Was Chating to connor in the bar he was on the piss the nite before in colours in the IOM .Going over to him in few weeks on the piss :thumbsup2:
