Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Six95 on November 17, 2008, 11:23:25 PM I just go back from Hawaii - I thought I missed it while I was over there. Only saw two monsters, but both riders were wearing helmets which was a good sign.
Going Friday night after work. Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Big T on November 18, 2008, 12:37:01 AM Sunday for me.... Anybody up for a ride before hand?????

Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Jukie on November 18, 2008, 12:47:02 PM this friday, saturday and sunday in Homebush. it should be ok to leave the bike just maybe change or lock it up
Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: mattyvas on November 18, 2008, 02:43:41 PM In my experience if there is a sale on gear get in first, if you wait till the last days of a show/sale you'll usually have only 3XL or XS left to pick from.
And there is bike parking at the front door in the past two years you have paid $5 to park there. Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Super T.I.B on November 18, 2008, 02:53:27 PM Going Saturday with some mates. [thumbsup]

Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Dannog on November 18, 2008, 05:12:39 PM I think I'll be going on Sunday as Saturday is always busy with kids sport. The things you do hey.
If its an AM adventure on Sunday I'll catch Jukie, Betty and Trev there. Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Dockstrada on November 19, 2008, 03:25:34 AM Hey Matty Big Al wants to go to the show on Friday but is driving as he's not 100% you want to go with him ???

I haven't shown my face around to you lot but i might recognise a few of you from the ride day photos i've seen.

Ducati pavilion is nice and staff really helpfull . If you need anything ask for "Eduardo Carbonell" he spent half an hour on the dog and bone , found some boots at the wharehouse for me at an amazing price and arranged to send them out to my LBS. Nice . Unlike another stand where they couldn't be bothered going out to there truck to get a pair that fit for me to try on. Oh and they have the M 1100 on display purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrahhhhhhhh!!!!!!!! get out there Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: mattyvas on November 20, 2008, 11:46:38 PM Spent 4 hours there, burnt a trail to the gear sale and didn't find anything in my size which sucked, well actually I did but they were WHITE.....
And yes they scream white like crazy. Saw the M1100 again bu had already seen it and sat on it the week before at Frasers launch. Got a pair of ear mould ear plugs $60 happy with that, looked at 4 pairs of boots but nothing I really wanted to part with the $$$ for. Then went down the road to MCAS new store to try to part with some $$$ for boots but they wanted $100 deposit just to get them in cause they were a smaller size than normal. I didn't think a US 9 was very small or hard to sell but anyways. The show is okay, it's bikes so of course your gonna love it but we have seen all the Duc's already so nothing really new to crow about. Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Super T.I.B on November 21, 2008, 09:46:06 PM Went today with a couple of mates.
Wasn't too bad. The best thing about the show is seeing all the weird bikes. And how bikes are getting BIGGER in general. A few of the bikes I just shook my head at were the Honda DN ???, the one on the turntable with the instrument cluster buried waaaaaaay forward under the fairing, a few of the 'zooks, especially the B-King, it's the size of my house! And some of the rear tyres on these big bloody cruisers! [roll] You'd use 3 inches of it before scraping something on the road! But the highlight was seeing Bigiains bike, sitting proud just outside the entrance. And mate asked if it had ever been washed? No, I replied, the grime is holding it together. ;) Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Jukie on November 21, 2008, 09:58:31 PM we will be heading down there tomorrow
Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Betty on November 23, 2008, 12:33:21 AM Yep, so had a bit of a look around with Jukie & Big T today - thanks for the company. Those guys on the trials bikes were great, fantastic control.
As for that Ducati Promo girl ... she chatted a bit to me and Trev, but pretty much brushed everybody else off [laugh] Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Big T on November 23, 2008, 01:54:18 AM Great day Betty & Jukie..... [thumbsup]
I also checked out the stunt dudes...... Crazy man, just crazy.... [popcorn] Took some pics and will post when I get off my butt and sort them.... [coffee] Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: bigiain on November 23, 2008, 02:28:19 AM But the highlight was seeing Bigiains bike, sitting proud just outside the entrance. You should have come to the pub across the street... [drink] big Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Jukie on November 23, 2008, 02:18:22 PM Like to give Trev A Big Hug for putting up with me and my hangover AGAIN. This seem to be an ongoing occurance with us. Sorry Trev.

Sorry I missed you guys, I was their almost ALL day. Now if it was next weekend I would have been looking thinking I'm a lot closer to buying after today's episode! Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Betty on November 23, 2008, 10:30:49 PM Betty you just that that natural charm. Either that or she may have thought you were safe ;D Nah, Trev's the one with the charm. Anyway you might need to see the photos for a bit of an explanation. Title: Re: Sydney Bike Show Post by: Dannog on November 23, 2008, 10:36:36 PM Can't wait, I'm up for a smile :D
