any motorbike show?
|
Can you tell me if there is any motorbike show (modern bikes) somewhere
not very far from Bristol (1-1.5h by train) soon ?
|
Last weekend of September, Newton Abbott racecourse - South West Bike
show on the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I hope to be there on the
Saturday.

I miss our Pawel.
Where has he gone ?
|
he hasn't posted for years.
|
Probably more correctly I miss his missus, who was welcome eye candy on
any expedition ;-)
|
Oh, seeing your posting reminds me - got my CC statement yesterday and
they've credited me with your £30 so I'll bung off a cheque.
|
|
He did turn up at the start of a BOTAFOF run a couple of years back,
just to say hello, but I've had no contact with him since then.
|
I spoke with him about 6 months ago; busy with family and Ph.D. and
generally very happy. I'll have to give him another bell soon it's been
too long.
|
|
I saw him a while back driving on campus in a car with Reg. P4WEL
|
Jees, we have lost him to the dark side.
Imagine the shame ...
Actually, own up, who has a personalised reg on the group ?
|
As previously admitted, I do.
|
Dodgy ones, like Robbo's (initials on a normal plate) don't count ;-)
|
That Noxgaga chappy -- W19LAF IIRC.
|
Hmmm... I dont really know who are you talking about, but I'am Pawel
too :)
|
This was a polish fella, name of Tetnowski.
|
Do you know maybe something about any motorbike show in uk soon ?
|
I don't know of any bike show in the South West at any point of the
year.
The next big shows will be the NEC bike show and the Dirt bike show,
both in Q4, in the midlands.

Sniper has something with a lot of Ws in it.
|
|
What about having a plate that says "R6 xxx" on an R6...?
|
That can be forgiven. Only registers 50% on the vanity-meter.
|
I had "H 1000 V" (H10 OOV) on my Firestorm and I bought Jane, my ex-
girlfriend, "J4NY G" for her birthday. I chose to keep the Norn Irish
plate on the Gixer when I 'imported' it from Belfast
|
|
|
|
but I can't finger him on the central computer and his name's not in the
campus telephone directory, so I guess he graduated and left. He _is_ in the
latest School contact list I have, but that's from January last year...

MAG Bristol Bike Show, St Nicholas Markets, Bristol, 19th August.
|
|
Not a show as such, but plenty of bikes to look at this weekend in
Plymouth with the annual charity "mega-ride". They'll be on the Hoe
around lunchtime or something. Get the train from Temple Mead to
Plymouth, and a short 15 minute walk to the Hoe will see you there.
|
I thought maybe he wanted to check out new machines with a view to a
purchase.
It could be that he's a street hawker with a bag full of Oxford Disc
Locks or just a pickpocket or bike thief ;o)

Nothing in the west or S Wales that I am aware of. Any events are likely to
be dealer based and either in the spring or autumn rather than the summer,
when people are spending time & cash on holidays etc.
Most of the main franchises are represented in Bristol and one of the
biggest showrooms in the country is located a few mins walk from Temple
have loads of used bikes.
This dealer in Bridgend organises some events each year: they tend to be in
autumn when they are trying to clear stock before the winter sets in.
