In recent years i've always tried to go to the NEC during the week on the
basis that there is probably less of a crowd. This year, however, I can't
find the time and have to go on a Saturday.............so two questions.

How much more crowded will the show be on a Saturday?

Which Sat will be best - 24th or 31st?

well, given that I've only ever been the once, my comment was slightly
tongue-in-cheek. But bike shows in general are largely rubbish.

Actually, I like the whole "looking and sitting on lots of different
bikes" bit, but it's the ****ing riff-raff that attend these shows
that I can't stand.

let's face it, in general bikers are badly dressed, ill-advised-
hairstyled, fat, boorish, stupid, ignorant, largely-unwashed ****wits.
Why would I want to go somewhere where there are lots of them?

Every bike show we go to, me and the old man always comment that
motorcycling attracts some ****ing ugly people.

Well why not indeed.

He takes after his mother so blonde gorgeous and unbearably smart.
Well ok she wasn't *that* smart. Once.

1h16m from Euston. Saver return in 37squid. Unfortunately a proper ticket is
squillions.

From me he got an unhealthy obsession about bikes and speed, a taste for
curry and Guinness and has started to notice cleavage.
