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.

Shouldn't that be hallS, as I distinctly remember walking between the two, I recall the Mocheck stand one year having a white Mocheck Harrier Honda 400/4 mounted high up on the wall inside

Just what I would like the new show to get back to
