Yeap just earplugs, and the ones at the show aren't even the pricey ones.
I'd be interested in hearing how you like the Nexx helmet, after you've used it for a while. Their idea of retaining a lower chin bar behind the flip up is a good one, but it seemed a bit flimsy when I checked them out a while back.
I'd be interested in hearing about it as well.. they have a different look to them, me and a friend spent some time checking them out
The helmet feels far from flimsy. Made in Portugal so they have to meet the ECE standard. I did some homework and I did want a built in sun visor. For the cost and fit it works for me, but once I get a chance to put it to practical use, I will let you know.
last year show bought a nexx union jack carbon fibre really light and feels good real test when i bring it out this coming year as just retired the shark limited edition helmet this winter so time for the Nexx to make its first in public appearance.
Paid same price as they had this year so didn't get ripped off buying a year early.
Had good time this year got some nice pictures of my 10 year old with the golo girls, hooters girls and also amisol girls so that will drive the ex nuts so good show for me! Also picked up a couple of racing stickers for the trailer.

It's not the overall helmet that I was talking about. It's the chin bar. That's the one failing of every flip-up helmet I've come across, insufficient support to the chin bar, and the one Nexx helmet I looked at had a rather weak chin bar. These days I'm wearing the best that I've found but if Nexx has reinforced that inner chin bar, then it would be an improvement on any I've seen.

Had cash in hand to get a new helmet, but the prices did not seem that great to me. Limited styles. Would rather get the style I want later and will probably pay similar to the 'show' prices. I was entertained by one of the Ducati sales chaps who, upon finding out that I had a BMW said, " well you've got the wrong bike!' Not a good sales pitch or way to make me purchase from him. I love the Duc's but chose the BMW as it was most suited to my needs. Hard bags and great long distance bike.
Take her to Velocity and she can pick out a style and colour/colours she likes. You can upgrade to Knox armor too and still be way cheaper than the jacket she liked.
Surprised my self by helping others find gear that fit right and only bought my self glue which is more for my dad than me.

Got to the show and walked into the GP booth...within 15 mins of being at the show I almost walked out with a 1 piece Astars leather suit but decided to wait and look around for other deals.
I ended up buying a Dainese Pelle leather jacket at Riders Choice for a little better price cause I paid cash and I also did end up buying the over priced pizza and pop.
My buddy bought a Dainese Vintage leather jacket at Riders and a Pitbull reverse rear stand at GP.
Also me and my other 2 buddies almost bought 3 NEXX helmets (the one that looked like a fighter pilot helmet with the open chin) as novelty helmets but when we went back to the booth one of the reps came up to us and very rudely told us not to touch the helmets.. so we walked away...literally.
It's unfortunate because the actual owner of that retail store we had talked to earlier that day was extremely nice and a really cool guy. That booth was our last stop before leaving and we were taking one last look before actually buying them.

Stupid reps happen, which is why I would never shop at brampton power sports.
I took Recidivist's advice and made arrangements to buy this from him prior to the show (http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?149887-Killer-Pricing-on-Bell-Helmets);
It's a fantastic helmet (the pictures don't do the CF and copper flake any justice) and Recidivist went all out to provide excellent customer service... It was great to meet him and I wish his shop was closer to me.
The above deal was actually $159 for the shield buy $99 if you bought it with a helmet. But nearer to the end of the show, GP Bikes allowed me to buy the shield by itself for $99. As with Recidivist, I wish their shop was closer to me as they always have had me walk away from the show with something from their store and a smile on my face.
Aside from the purchases, I met up with a group of riders I haven't seen in far too long, enjoyed their company then dinner at Zet's.
A great show for me!
