Well said Roy. Too many shows (cars and bikes) are being hijacked by the mobile phone covers, sweets, boot Polish and the tool that does it all for £30 type traders. I couldn't get near to anything last year within an hour of arriving.
I can recommend the Kempton Park shows, worth £6 entry fee and always a great show outside in the car park with so many riders bikes to look at. Not much Japanese stuff but there are normally a few traders selling gaskets and a few nos parts so some bargains to be had.

Didn't go but agree with all comments re car boot, prices, crowds etc. Our local "farming show" at Bakewell used to be the place to go. Now its just people selling hose fittings and out of date batteries. Seems these places are more bothered about selling stall space. Stuff the quality / content.

Also grumpy git / on all fours stand.  Spoke to him twice and very blunt. How not to sell things. The "faulty towers" of the SOHC world!
One day I'll have the time to restore it, not just talk and dream....

Ash, the guys name at  'on all fours' is John from Sheffield. I traded some CB parts with him last year, he did have an email & phone number available last year

Maybe I looked like the tax man  ;D Think he used to work at a main dealers in Sheffield
