Motorcycle live

Well it starts at the weekend so i have bought tickets for the second Saturday 23rd. The ticket buying is getting awkward these days and having to upload a picture of a disabled badge is new.
The ticket application times out after 10 minutes so if the picture takes a time to load, the application gets cancelled so after 3 goes, i became fast enough.
Two Grandchildren come along as always and we have a fish and chip feast in Tewkesbury on the way back. The 14 year old will try out the trials bikes and collect pens and keyrings and i have to buy a helmet from my trusted seller i have used for many years but he does have cancer. Last year he was not expecting to be alive for this one so i hope he is surviving. Always a good day trip of about 360 miles. First NEC visit for the Toyota but it is very comfortable at motorway speeds.

Geoff, Do you have to buy tickets for a specific day now? In the past mine have always been valid for any day I choose to go.

Re: Motorcycle live

No, you can use a ticket once for any day you choose. The car park ticket did ask which day though and registration number. Book this week and the tickets are quite a bit less money and parking charge has gone down to a tenner this year. Bikes are free parking. I get to park a car near the front entrance as i have a blue badge.
2 years ago, 4 men turned up in a car in front and the women in the entrance asked to see the picture. Then she blasted the man for using his wifes badge to get 4 able bodied men in to deprive a disabled driver. They had to turn around and go out. This week, i am virtually unable to walk but this is very variable so hoping i improve a bit or i take the walking sticks.
Disabled spaces are quite limited and for the first time this year, they require a picture of the blue badge before buying a ticket of some other form of proof of disability. Quite funny as the 14 year old Grandson has his own blue badge too. He can be quite hard to manage at times but is improving his autism.

If I go its on the bike. I gave up going to anything at the NEC by car years ago.
