I would like to meet any of you that are, and say hi.
I will buy warm weak beer or insipid tea that they usaully serve to those that are. |
I went today, hadn't noticed this post otherwise I would have arranged a meet. I did see a couple of DD racers (No's 99 and 45, Andy and Mark) there as well as our main man Ian.
The show continues to slide down hill and what was once the main Road racing show in the country will soon be a custom bike show. There were less exhibitors there this year and the paddock bargain section has now gone. Hardly worth the £15 entry fee and travel costs of getting there and back.
Hopefully the firms in the road racing business will look to arranging a new show somewhere to get away from the crap that now surrounds them at the Ally Pally show.
I did get what I went for which was a new pair of race boots for this coming season. I opted for a pair of Oxbow's as they were the right price, felt comfortable and a few racers that I know that already wear them vouched for them being a good race boot. also picked up some pads for my AP 4-pots along with a Nissin Radial mastercylinder and a couple of gear change toe pegs for my rearsets which at £5 each from Harris with a rubber sleeve and countersunk bolt I thought was a fair price.
