Absolute horrendous queue to get into Stafford today ... worst I have ever seen there and as usual muggins was doing the driving as my mate Roger has a tendency to nod off and the missus won't let him drive me .

Weather better than expected though and really well attended. Managed to get a rare early NOS silencer cheap  from DS for my S90 plus a rare sprocket cover for same...from another seller. Also a really nice CB250K -317 silencer for £25 off DS's bargain corner,  which was a real  steal.

Someone was selling this Black Bomber for £8,500 ... totally overpriced IMHO as photos flatter it a lot.

 ;) thanks for the heads up ash i was thinking about it ? i wont bother again this year

Yep Stafford too busy again this year. Didn't buy anything at all (except an ice cream that was horrible).

I was hoping to get electrical parts but didn't even find anyone selling cable. So busy you couldn't even get a brew or sit down for a few minutes let alone get anywhere near some of the stalls.

As Ash mentioned, all the bikes for sale we're overpriced tat, didn't see one bike I would have spent money on. And some of the people trying to sell them were just chancers that you wouldn't buy anything off. That said, loads of people were leaving loaded up with gear and pushing bikes so somebody was happy with the situation.

I don't see the point of buying things at Stafford that you can buy cheaper online, plus if you have a problem you can just send it back.

I Will think twice before I go again as it's not the show it used to be.

I would agree with Ash, very long wait to reach the car parks this year.  Enjoyed to the show, and well attended.

It may have been that they were not allowing vehicles in on both sides of the road .. only the side that you have to use underpass  to gain access. My son always buys tickets for me for fathers day so probably will go again... he couldn't come this year at the last minute,  so I had to flog his ticket to a guy in queue ... took about 5 seconds to sell  for a tenner   ;D

I then swapped the tenner for  a very rare 1965 model S90 sprocket cover part that would probably have cost at least 4 times that on eBay if you could find one (which I couldn't)   Also,  I knocked the guy on the  DS stand down to £55 on an an early  rare NOS S90 silencer which they had listed on their site for £110 plus VAT + post .... so still bargains to be had... but agree a lot is overpriced junk.
