Did anyone go to it so far and was it worth it??

It's due up here in a week and a half, I sort of volunteered to go with work, but if it's lame I'll go riding instead

I went in Melbourne and liked it, although i had never been to one before. If I had been last year it would have been a bit dull. I liked seeing and sitting on the 600s as I am in the market for one come May next year. There were a few motogp bikes there, the 07 600RR and a Rossi bike. I thought it worth going.

I went in Melbourne and thought it was OK.
Got to meet the guys from Rapid and check out streetfighter gear that I otherwise prob wouldnt get to see. Some specials on gear too, which I couldnt take advantage of. If you couldnt get to the shops it would be good for checking out new models and Euro brands too.
If you were in the market, you can jump from say a 10R to K7. No test rides but

I loved the Melb one

Sat on heaps and heaps of bikes, not that I could reach the ground on most of them

Bugger I have a busy weekend but i could try for a run though on friday night.

They havnt seemed to have a whole lot of gear or sale previous years just a few stands with bikes on and i am not in the market for a new harley.

Will try to get in there for a quick look anyway.

I just got home, what a long day

I ended up helping selling bikes, I'd talk to the customer then let the salesguy finish the deal..

Bloody exhausting

And ppl do ask strange questions, but glad I went, it was a good experience

I did actually ask to go so I could have a perve, but the good ones were few and far between
