Bike show for/against

Yet again a trip to the bike show today, years and years I have been going.

For.

The odd fit bird on a stand.
Day off work.
The chance to see the bike I have been thinking of purchasing (Sprint ST)
Bought some nice gloves.

Against

More mutton in one place than anywhere else in the world.
realising more work to go back to monday.
Stroppy sales people.
Numpty's by the thousand sitting on bikes going Brrrrrrrrmmmmm.
Decided not to purchase the Sprit due to the 'mess' with regard to the
throttle and clutch cables up front, fits between a bit of wire.

Will i go next year, I suspect I will.
