Met up with RickS1K for our annual 'coffee' at the show...now that Covid allowed it to happen.
I don't think its a huge suprise but it was definitely a smaller affair than last time and it was smaller last time than previous years...I really think the clothing and apparel resellers are missing a trick by not turning up. I may have missed out by not going on the Saturday...but I suspect the lack of range/choice was endemic of a show in decline, covid or not. I must try out the NEC show and see if its better served. Hope the industry is not giving up on shows, because they are good for getting companies in front of punters.
Helmet City were one of the few well appointed stands. They were delighted to rinse my Credit Card again.
Last year I bought an X-Lite Carbon 803 RS from them online (no shows to attend), the wife duely dropped it, after I used it once. So back to the show for a replacement, and another good, show only, deal.
