Yeah I've heard it's not great. My pal is just about to go through is Direct Access so figured this is the best place to get him trying on all the different helmets to see what fits and have a sit on a few bikes.

I'm just wanting a sit on the Honda Grom! I think they're class lol.

Certi, be careful if your pal is buying a helmet and ask the seller to PROVE the year of manufacturing by showing you the date on either the chin strap or inside the shell. I have seen 12 year old helmets getting offered by the sellers at the show who are clearly business owners and not bikers themselves. Some of them buy bulk amount of helmets from companies who won't send them out to the shops as they are well past their recommended age for use.

Enjoy the show.

It seems like a life time since I was last at a bike show so making the effort this weekend to go and see what all the new competition has to offer.

Blades have always been small. My mates RR10 looks tiny particularly from the rear.. theres nothing to it !..

I love the look from a distance, until you actually touch it, and its flimsy as hell. I mean I know there's weight saving but it didn't feel like traditional Honda build quality to me. There's too many compromises too. As someone else on here once said, I for one rarely take the missus on the back, but we do sometimes and I want the option to do so. Unless you buy the base blade you can't do that. They made some curious choices.

Just back from the show.. met a few bodies I know and bumped into Malic.

My first 250... exactly the same as this, bought it new from Bill Flemings Springburn August 1980....I then had it painted in Dunstall Suzuki Colours...loved my X7

All in not a bad day out... that classic section is really big now

Good to see you up and about Davy.

Missed it this year for the first time in about 8/9 years as I'm in Daytona Beach Florida for Bike Week. It has been pretty poor the last few years but it is a good place to meet up with your mates and have a seat on the bikes , plus if you don't support it , it'll disappear and won't come back.
