N.E.C. today

Post by elmer fud »

Went for a look at the n.e.c. today, had a look at all the new stuff and I can honestly say I wasn't tempted at all.
I thought the 999 looked pants, the Benelli looked decent, but I really rated the Mondial. All of which are totally out of my price range!
Wimped out though, went in the car. On the way back doing about 90 as you do and was passed by a HRC coloured storm on the M6 near knutsford.
From what I saw of it (briefly) it looked tremendous, anyone on here by any chance?
Take it to bits, put back together, nothing left in box...woohoo!

Blackstorm.

That bike looks absolutely gorgeous. Top marks for riding it to the show. You put us car driving nancies to shame !!!

One question though. Were you lost ? Elmer was up the M6, I thought you lived Oxford way? That bloody Spaghetti Junction has got a lot to answer for !
