Anyone off to Stafford tomorrow for the Classic bike show ?

Bevelheadmhr said:Dealers may ask extortionate prices, but I doubt many bikes get sold at those prices. The stalls often have bargains, the café seat stall had some nice seat units for £40, while outside the stall selling exhausts had some good deals too. Its always worth haggling too.

You dont know the name of the outfit selling those seats do you?
Am going to Kempton Park on saturday so maybe find at least the seat.....
beachcomber said:I met a guy at the weekend ( pal of a pal ) who has recently taken a considerable sum out of his bank ( savings) and bought a dozen random vintage, veteran and classic bikes. He was at the show to buy a few more with a budget of £50k.
Unfortunately this was all as an investment to future proof his savings! Primarily he is a car nut, but he gets a better potential return with bikes. It's doubtful he will ever ride any - sad.
