A major show in the UK this weekend at Stafford show ground. Hope to pick up spares for the old girl if any around?
Shall take plenty of photo's and place on forum for you members in the USA & Canada for you to drool over.

Hi,

I am going on Saturday,always a great day out for classic bike fans.
Good luck with the hunt for spares.

Dave

I'll also be going to Stafford: its become a bit like an annual pilgrimage: always a great show, but does it ever get busy !
I spoke to someone from Mortons (the organisers) last week, and they said over 40,000 turned up to the last show.
Enjoy the day - Cheers Tim !

Got to Stafford show and to be honest. Not impressed. More hot dog stalls than auto jumble pitches for spares. Plus the low life that go around pinching the money of the stall holders when there backs are turned and to top it off. Had my rucksack pinched with my tablet in it Security staff and police a waste of space.
Only sat down for a cup of coffee and talking to fellow bikers.

Sorry you got mugged at Stafford ! real shame that the place is targetted by "low lifes", and there is no visible security deterrent anywhere to be seen.
A chap I know who runs a Chroming business always has a stand at Stafford, I met hinm this year and he was telling me some real horror stories.
Re the show itself: I much prefer the October event which is aimed at the Japanese Classic scene; much more in the way of parts and spares: last year they even had a guy selling Z13 parts: although he was asking silly money for everything I asked about.

Yes the Oct show far better for the Jap classics and will be going again as will not let the scum bags put me off
Re the silly prices. Its a catch 22 situation for the stall holders due to the Morton group charging £200 + for a pitch and for one indoors is stupid money. Know a lot of stall holders that have moved to an outside pitch as unable to afford the cost. If you speak to any stall holder they all say just about broke even for the w/end. Noticed no Bonhams auction in April or is just in Oct show?

I always pre order ticket to save on entry fee as helps to half the cost of a gravel burger
