    Been going to this 'event' for more years than I care to remember, but in addition to the same stands, same faces, same rusty boxes of worn parts, same overpriced tack, what I would really like to see is some of the IVVMCC member bikes on display - surely in this day and age the Club would be proud to display some of their well restored and rare machines of yesteryear?

    In previous years you've had more than enough paying punters through the doors at a fiver a pop - so why put it up 20%....have you got Lenihan as your adviser??

    .....so come on folks, we're still in a recession, knock it back to a fiver till we all see the light at the end of the proverbial tunnel ;)

    Admission has been retained at €6 for the third successive year. Having changed to Leopardstown for 2009, by definition the bigger venue attracts an increased cost for its hire aside from the associated costs of insurance etc. All in all admission this year represents even better value than before.

    In the interests of the paying public, the stall holders and the members, the Club sees the move to Leopardstown in a very positive light. Both traffic and parking too were a constant problem at the 2008 venue but this year, with increased free space at our disposal, it has been addressed.

    Overall the Club feels that the move to a bigger venue will allow the attendance for even more stall holders, there will be even more bikes for sale and that more space will be available for members' bikes to be put on display. In addition, those attending will be able to see the members' work in the 'Restoration of the Year' competition. Last year the Club had 6 entries for this prize.

    I tip my lid and take back what I previously posted - todays Show was very impressive, the bikes on display were a credit to the owners and seemingly more stalls too. Overheard many commend the move from Taney. I didn't fill my list of goodies but came home with a few interesting bit n' bobs ;)

    Ode To The Motorist

    “And my existence, while grotesque and incomprehensible to you, generates funds to the exchequer. You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”

    Anyone else go to this? Was impressed at how big it was. Some fantastic old bikes...saw Glen Hansard pushing a lovely looking BSA out to the gates (after buying it I assume).

    The trip out on the motorway convinced me I need to invest in a pair of winter gloves very soon though!

    I went with the lads, well about 40 of us on scooters. It was a good day out although we had a good laugh at the only vespa for sale. The stall wanted €2750 for a what was clearly a far east knockoff job. That siad there was some lovely old classic bikes in the tent beside the main hall...although I ride a vespa I have a soft spot for Triumphs too!
