Mmm, sounds good. A discount deal from the family business? Still hunting for cheap Sherpa van axles & steering for mine. Did I thank you for running the Triumph Owners' photos in BSH? Thank you, (a sneaky plug).

Yup. Elan front suspension is basically a Triumph Vitesse set up. We have all the bits for that, just deciding whether to use it.

Yes you did. Nice piece of writing too... Wink

Not up to your professional journo standards obviously. Does the Elan use a beam axle? And if so can I have one too please?

Flap & I have gone for the last couple of years & always have a good day out. Guess it's what you make of it. Always find plenty to interest us, always find ideas to nick from all sorts of bikes, not just the custom ones, always buy stuff we don't need, always get home absolutely knackered after walking round & round the halls for hours & hours. A simple pleasure for us common folk.

Thats prolly the secret - you've only been for the last couple of years - gets awfully samey after the 3rd and 4th...............

I've probably been 5 or 6 times over the years, the last 3 or 4 with Flap. Rainbow was a little disappointed -thought it'd be bigger, (story of my life), but still managed to spend several hundred pounds. Might well give it a miss next year & stick with the Alexandra Palace show in January or february, (formerly the Road & Race show). The NEC event DOES present biking to the general public who might not otherwise take an interest -saw lots of non "biker" type teenagers & families there this year -& anything that encourages more people to try biking can't be a bad thing can it. It does what it says on the tin -showcases new models, provides somewhere to check out the latest gear & accessories etc. It's just a day out. We don't go expecting a "biker" event.
