Motorcycle Live. Sorry it's late.

We went to the NEC last Thursday to look at. and sit on, all the nice shiny new motor bikes that we would not be buying. LOL. It is a fact that with all the latest engineering technology available bikes are getting extremely heavy....oh yes and plain bloody expensive. How do they expect us poor pensioners to afford these bikes I wonder?

We booked our tickets, including the car park, on line. Our journey meant joining the M42 from the M6, and at that point we joined the queue to get in! The car parks were well filled.

There were a lot of people inside the hall and while a lot of them, perhaps a lot of us, were of the grey haired variety there were more younger people than I have seen before, and certainly a large number of ladies, without a bloke in tow, checking out the bikes

Here for your amusement are some photo's.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Sorry Brian but there is nothing in my in-box on here or my personal email, and nothing in my FB Messenger in-box. When and where did you send it?

I don't worry that new bikes are heavy, complex, expensive, etc.

There are literally millions of nice, fast, relatively simple, economical motorcycles for sale that will satisfy the riding needs of me and mine for the foreseeable future.

Let the engineering geeks go wild with technology; them who like it can play in that park. Me, I'm going to be riding!

That little AJS, is it 400cc, 250cc or just the 125?

Sorry TUD but I think you will find that it is actually a 125. They have 250's which are expected to be available in Q1 2023.

That front tyre on AJS looks fearsome!
