Seconded.

Also gonna do Excel to see what it's like....

me and a cpule of mates are plannign to do excell but only cos i didnt know about Ally Pally and what BB said above.

Maybe i'll convince the boys to do Ally Pally instead (nothing to do with it being near to me. honest)

Myself, Mrs Vox & Pegasus are planning on going to EXCEL on Sun 4th

Ally Pally have now released their exhibitor list. Seems to me like more independent retailers than the Excel. Maybe good if you are kit hunting: http://www.superbike.co.uk/allypally/exhibitorlist.php (156 Exhibitors)

What do you think? http://www.londonmotorcycleshow.com/exhibitorlist.html (132 Exhibitors)

EDIT: Surprising to see their is more exhibitors at the Ally Pally (Exhibitor costs probably lower). I would have thought the Excel would have been a more popular show for them in terms of attendance however.

Not going to either. No money and away the same weekend.

Going on Saturday with the missus and a couple of mates. See you there, anyone who's going

Well, looking at those lists, with non of the major manufacturers present, I don't know if I'll bother going to either. I want to look at bikes, not 2 year old textiles that nobody wants...

For some of us that is at least part of the attraction - perfectly good kit that is cheaper because it's not the latest style or colour scheme.

Back in 2001 I got my Texport 2 piece leathers for £299 reduced from £699 for exactly that reason.

Also, quite a few manufacturers / retailers do 'Show Only' offers - last year I got a pair of CCC cans for the SV for £210

Vox, I'm all up for "show specials", have done that myself often enough, but I want to have a play with the bikes... Sit on, gaze at (laugh at even), but if the manufacturers aren't gonna be there, then I may not bother.
