Glad we went to an autojumble instead. A fiver to get in and the wife bought an NC30.

Agreed, but this year I got in for free! So I didnt go with the intention of looking at any bikes just buying some new boots and some draggin jeans things. Bar the Harris stand there was a lot of tat there. I am NOT going to put LED indicators on my bike even if the cost £15!

Got invited onto the Suzuki stand even tho I was wearing a Phaseone Yamaha shirt ! We were given a talk by JR and Mac and walker was there. Free coffee as well .

So it was you, I saw someone reving it up at one point, if it was the decent one on the end of a row of pitches. I did notice another Honda 400 V4 there but looked as it needed some work

I spent £575 with Steve Harris and my mate Dallas also spent a few quid to many with them. Harris have re introduced some of their old frame kits into their catalogue including the Ducati TTF2, one of which can be seen in the Harris article in Classic bike mag along with a article featuring my mate Adrian's GSXR750 Slabby.

When the Ally Pally was a decent show (Road race show) I didn't bother with the NEC show but as the Ally Pally show went down hill and just turned into a bike show (No ACU stand, No BEMSEE stand etc) I started going to the NEC. Hopefully things will change next year, with the London motorcycle show moving out of Ally Pally to the Excel venue and hopefully taking its boring stands with it and leaving room at the Ally Pally for Superbike magazine to put on a different and interesting show.

Bring back the Road Racing Show to the Horticultural Hall in Westminster! Those were the days proper race bikes! and stands full of exotic bits and pieces for bikes that you would have never owned!! A Totally different concept.
