Yeah we can paint the venue in the kb colours

And have chicks walking round with kiwibiker hotpants

What a day that would be.

Very sad, but there were some very good displays of choppers, No. 1 Motorcycles in particular. Also featured was a lovely display of Royal Enfields and a real treat was seeing a beautiful pair of Honda Valkyrie Rune's which some people rode in to the show.

All in all very dissapointing but on the other hand I got to see some beautiful bikes up close I wouldn't normally be able to, and all for the price of riding my own bike into the showroom

Pics to follow once I've trawlled through my SD card.

One of the Enfields was mine... I thought I was at the wrong place, what with the lingerie and rug sale on... shoulda merged the lingerie and the bike show.

Getting in for free was allright though... I would have polished my bike more if I knew it would be on display too!
