Bath and West classic bike show.

[Daygan]

Date: Saturday 9th/Sunday 10th February 2008
Open: 10am-5pm Saturday & Sunday
Location: The Bath and West Showground , by Shepton Mallet in Somerset. From the site:- Additional Info: The Bristol show is highly regarded as the official season opener by classic motorcycle enthusiasts. Why not come and see why? With 100s of Club, Trade, Autojumble and Private Displays it is an event that simply can't be missed.

A few of us went to a Bath and West bike show last year (not the classic bike show)it was a bit disappointing not much there, but the classic bike show is usually the best one, the usually is a lot more stands a lot more bikes and a lot more going on, I'm thinking of going, anyone else?.

Sorry we missed you iankebab, my fault I deleted your message by accident:doh:.
I did leave my phone on just in case you phoned again.

Good to hang out with you today cobwebs,50pence turned up eventually;).

If anyone is thinking of going I would recommend it, it is bigger than ever loads of stalls of new and old some real bargains, loads of bikes on display, probably three or four times bigger than the custom bike show they had their.

[Cobwebs]

yep good day out loads of old bikes ton's of tools and millions of nuts and bolts :lol: and a turbo

Cobwebs, sorry to have missed you.

Daygan, sorry to have delayed you, well they let me in for the last hour for £4, worth a look around though not enough classic Jap bikes for my liking.

Went back over the top and down the gorge, some of roads had not seen any sun and were bit dodgy.

EDIT: Talking about turbos, there was a mint GPZ750 Turbo, very nice, and a couple of lovely F4 740s, a nice original CBX, I nice H2, a mint FS1-E ....

Regards.

to be honest I was spending more time trying to persuade my self not to buy tools than looking at bike.could of refitted my work shop out twice over.
and when i spotted the little old WW1 (c) lathe for £70 i really had to fight hard to keep my wallet in :lol:

[bikesnoopy]

Wow...that Z must be scary to ride. I bet the lag from that turbo being so far away from the exhaust ports is "interesting". . . and the heat,just inches away from your marbles . . . :eek:

[Daygan]

Daygan, sorry to have delayed you.

Absolutely no problem, if you're going to hang around I can't think of a better place to do it then at a bike show.;)

Did you find the the quarter boots for £25?.

[iankebab]

sorry I missed you all. Hopefully catch up soon. Ian
