Laverda Dave:
A 5 mile queue to get in, gez glad I didn't bother! I was going to stay overnight at the test track where I work on Thursday and Friday as I did last year but thought maybe not a good idea after last year, you have just confirmed I made the right decision!
Was the guy outside selling the new OS and pattern Honda bits, he had a lot of 400 and 750 bits last year but he's not on the Internet :(.

Yes the Grumpy sod on the 'On All Fours' stand from Sheffield.. I bought a 500/4 headlamp ring from him today. He was moaning on to someone about DS's delivery costs. He won't give you his phone number or any contact details.... well he wouldn't give me any a few years back. He's maybe the Clint Eastwood of Honda bits ...doesn't look much like him though !
DS had loads of used/damaged items as usual at the back of his stand .there was a 500/4 pipe there and CB250K exhaust but the latter were 195 quid each and damaged so I passed on them. quite a few S90, C92/95 and CB160 second hand parts though inc tank panels with niceish chrome.
Dropped my 750K0 front DID rim off at Walkinshaws platers .. never tried him before ...will see how it pans out ...100 quid cash to rechrome.
Laverda Dave:
Does Walkinshaws have a tank big enough for a Rickman frame Ash? £100 to chrome a wheel rim sounds reassuringly expensive though!

Not sure I went to the same show yesterday. Arrived at 8.45 and virtually no waiting in traffic at all, strange. We dont go past the RAF base though as thats where all the traffic is. We join at the roundabout by the Police station then its only 1/2 mile to the show and the traffic was slow but moving..... May be my last visit to this show/car boot sale as the prices are just a joke, £8000 for this. This bike was in need of total restoration as it was more custom bike than standard.

The show has got so popular in the last few years that its now outgrown its venue. The crowds were so bad by dinner time that it was impossible to have a real look at anything.....This time we did it differently and went straight to the main hall to have a look at the show bikes. As we got there before the crowds that was a real highlight. To be honest, the rest of the show was a waste of time....Had a nice ice cream though. ;D At this "Bike Show" one of my mates bought a long brush for cleaning upstairs windows, some shoe laces, and some stick on numbers for his wheelie bin. As I said, a car boot sale.
BigAl (Alan):
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
