I went today and was disappointed, the classic hall was pretty good but the rest was pure pants. Oly went to see if I could get new leathers but even stalls were poor with just lots of same things.

Scott leathers were there pricey but mine are 15 yrs old and still good as new but yes lots of dodgy quality kit there."
I did see Scott leathers and considered them, have recently bpught RST jacket, just need trousers, had Alpinestars for years and still look like new but obviously must have shrunk in cupboard as will never fit me again!!

I haven't been in years and this is exactly the reason why. Seems it hasn't changed.

Didn't even know it was on until Saturday morning despite it only being a few miles from my house.

Looked at the exhibitor list and didn't seem worth it. Reviews seem to back that up.

Want to support it but that shouldn't be the only reason to go.

The cost is no longer worth the bother.

Has been getting gradually worse every year now for some time.

If you have kids they will love it a day out they don’t care but if you’re a big kid wanting a day out it’s not great
