Yup looking forward to the event. I am hoping to catch up with the plugz for lugz crowd there. I need a pair berfore heading down to Wanganui for Boxing Day. It looks good, especially the motorcycle hall.

[Big Dave]

KR has a stand and I'll be doing a few shifts - which usually involves a yarn with quite a few KBers :-)

Nice one

Surely can do, all the Honda pics you want!!!....:rolleyes:

[Insanity_rules]

Oh my god oh my god oh my god, business trip planned to ever so accidently coincide as with the BBT shows in the past. Almost tempting top ride up just for that breakfast and pre look (I live in welly for those who don't know) or if anyones got room for a passenger on the day?

[Maha]

This weekend.....:niceone:
May see ya there :yes:
May not :no:

[Devil]

I'm working :(

[Little Miss Trouble]

Haha wonder if I can swing getting an exhibitors pass :shifty:

[Fatt Max]

Just back from it, pretty good really but the outdoors bit got a soaking.

Some good stuff on offer to drool over, the Victory and Triumph stands are all good and Lifestlyle Imports are worth a look.

If you get the chance then take a trip over. Any muso's will also appreciate the musical instrument sale in hall 6 next door (a $2000 acoustic, top of the range, yours for $ 1000)

I've attached a couple of picces including one of the wee man and his new girlfriends. Watching these girls climb onto one of the three wheelers was the highlight for us old pervs, eh.....sorry, dont have any piccies of that cos I couldnt keep the camera straight.

[White trash]

Got a few pics myself. Bloody good show with some VERY impressive machinery on display.

Keiran couldn't seem to stay focussed at the LG Stand.

Then he tried to steal Shirt Lifter Shirriffs CBR but I abandoned him to buy a new Aprilia.

Great shots mate. Yep, the LG stand had some impressive bodywork, and such nice lines.

Congrats on the purchase by the way

Bah, only got to see a little bit of it while helping set up yesterday.

[Kiwi Graham]

Bloody good show, Had a chat with Slighty, Hayden and Craig on the Honda stand yapped to Andrew Stoud on the Suzuki stand who gave the kids some signed pics of his good self and proudly showed of his new bike.
Rory the racing car impressed the kids and the pit girls impressed me ;)
Marvelled at Burt Munroe's handy work and compaired it with some of the other exotica on display. Awesome day, spent about 4hrs there.

$16 to get in kids under 10 free.

[slowpoke]

Keiran couldn't seem to stay focussed at the LG Stand.



I don't see a for sale sign on the big fullah's GSXR Jimmy, are you gonna put it under a blanky in the shed for Keiran?

[boman]

Not too bad. Got a pair of Plugz for my Lugz made. Very helpful and nice couple. The plugs work well, alot better than the freebees I have been using. Not as many bikes as I would have liked. The 675 was crammed in, so I couldn't try it on for size. Very nearly tried th RSV4 that they had, but refrained from that in case I liked the fit.

[Mort]

I sat on that RSV4 - first time I've seen it - it is awesome.

The show wasn't as big as Big boys toys but I enjoyed it. Worth a trip.

A few pics below.

I was a real pleasure to stroll around without having to side-step every few paces .

[Maha]

Victory Bikes are very very nice indeed, if you are into that kinda thing.

[Maha]

The Honda stand was probably the better of them all, no Harleys, no Moto-Guzzi, no BMW's quite a few brands missing in action. Well the odd one here and there but nothging to get your head around, even the Yamaha area seemed limited, an R1 and an R6.

[Maha]

Was suprised how good the B-King looked, no pic of it sorry, got side tracked buy a way cool M109.

[Sidewinder]

yeah choppa was there with his gixxa on display

[Maha]

And here is that M109............last pic.

[AD345]

yep, good show, good day. met the M&M's (Mom and Maha), had a bit of a yarn with Big Dave about a couple of things, ogled the girlies and was just in the right place at the right time when a couple of young things wearing what appeared to be tube socks decided to take photos of themselves astride the Victory Vegas.

One was wearing black - teh other was not. :shit:

Hell yea. Thats a really nice colour. If I was going to own a Gsf or a Gixxer, it would be that colour.

Didnt know who she was until a few moments ago, just saw her on Campbell Live and Steve Crowe's parting comment ''shes not worth it''...yeah I would have to agree.....pretty average with bloke like arms and shoulders.
