There were lots of shiny bikes, some nice, some not so nice and some with very nice totty draped over them. Some of them had my arse sat on them. I have managed to discount at least one potential from the original list but another may well be added. I found out that I don't have a Nitro shaped head (a shame as N1200s were £100 instead of £199) and then managed to resist buying a new Arai until next year, probably at the Ally Pally show if there are bargains to be had. Saw an interesting interview with Colin Edwards and a stunt show that was interesting in parts and just about worth the 4 quid and 30 mins of my time to rest my aching feet. Had a pint at the Guinness bar. Obviously just sitting on a static bike is not enough to make a final decision and some test rides will be sorted out early next year but here's a short quiz: 1. Which bike was a bit of a disappointment and may be removed from the list? 2. Which bike has been added to the shortlist, albeit as an outsider? 3. Which stand had the best totty? Clue: No super sports - it was good to try them out just because they were there but they're not what I'm after and anyway, I don't think my knees would be able to take it!
