Really pleased to have a chat with Motorcycle Adventure authors Graham Field and Sam Manicom on the Overland Magazine stand where I was given a bottle of Fuchs Motorcycle polish for simply turning up wearing one of their shirts - thanks guys (and gals). Other notables spotted as we walked round included Nick Sanders (RTW speedster), Nathan Millward (of postie bike fame) and Henry Cole (general whinger and Greatest Motorcycle Rides presenter).
Me on a Triumph Thruxton
Phil on a little Yamaha
Me on a not so little Yamaha - not much 'ball room' and needs larger fuel tank
Me on a Norton - rock hard seat/saddle
Phil on a Honda NC750 Integra - we both gave it the thumbs down but liked the NC750X
Phil loved this little number

This is what Phil was chatting her up for, show reduced price to £999
Phil on a 250cc on the Herald stand - he's got to an age where he prefers light weight bikes
Had some problems with my camera so not many pics, but that didn't deter from a good "Big Boys Day Out", although the day ended expensively - I'd booked to have 2 new tyres fitted on the car so called in on the way home, 2 front wheels off for the fitting and inspection of the rears found them to be split right across the tread. Bugger - 4 new tyres lightened my wallet to the tone of £480 - I could have done without that!
