Thing is with these big shows Birmingham, London, and Amsterdam is they are general cleaning shows and not just for window cleaning. The window cleaning only ones are much better. Should be a good weekend.

A quick thrash on a 1400? You should get a 650 or 750 much lighter to thrash about on.
I'm only dreaming. I've not ridden in 8 years.
