I went up for the day and it was a decent day out, I took the car up because I was after some bits and bobs and had small child in tow!
It was a bit of a shame as it seemed not only to be Monster free but also Ducati free- leading small child to advise me to get a proper bike like other people cos Ducati's are obviously crap cos no one else has one apart from her stupid Dad!
Didnt stop her demanding a ride out later for an Ice cream posing in her new Red Bull jacket and Carbon Fibre race gloves??? oh I got a chain with the cash I had left!!Wow. :D
Must try to make a showing up there next year.

Time you taught that child some manners! I remember a few year's ago that the most common car on the road was a bright red Escort - didn't mean they were any good though. Also reminds me of the old adage - "Eat sh*t, a million flies cant be wrong!" Tell her that her father is an individual and that she should be proud that he's not a sheep that follows the herd (or should that be flock?). The joys of parenthood - you have my sympathy.

Lucky you only had one!,one can be overpowered and made to go to bikeshows.
Arranging more than one is like herding cats,one will escape forcing you to remain very still until it gets near enough to grab again.And when they are all in captivety and subdued you've lost a whole day.
Domestic bliss!

I was there. :)
I had my Buell and my good wife was on her Monster. :D
You should have had a good look around the car park.

I think it's one of the best things about the Buell and the Monster you hardly ever see another one. ;)

I would hate to have the same bike as everyone else.
