Ally Pally this year is being run by Superbike magazine whereas in previous years it was MCN. MCN have however moved their show to EXCEL next weekend so if you're comparing then I would wait until next weekend

Yeah, I was just wondering how it compared to last year seeing that it is different sponsors..

Different I would have thought...

From what I've heard and read on here it wasn't anywhere near the standard of the MCN show except they had fewer "cheapy made in sweat shop in taiwan" type stalls.

It wasn't bad, but glad I didn't pay to get in. Nice chill out area with the racers, and yes, there were less of those dodgy stands around, which was good. Major bargains were to be had, and we got what we went for. I'd prob do it again, but prob only if I had something in mind that I wanted to buy.

P.S, so who had the lovely blue pointy with blue flames in the bike park?? (parked with rizla gixxer)

Not me Mine was the naked curvy.

There was some good quality kit on sale at good prices.The new duke looks the bizz,but it was hard to take in the details as what was draped over it was pretty stunning too.

James Toseland is very upbeat about his chances against the Dukes this year----

I felt the atmosphere was a bit more informal than previous shows,and I hope they can build on this format in future.Good luck to Superbike for daring to take on the MCN Emap monopoly.

Was pretty good - lots of bits and pieces about if you like the bolt ons. Top bargains on these items and agree if you had a list it would be easy enough to fulfill at great prices. It was interesting to speak to some of the manufacturers of items and get decent service and excellent product knowledge - something you dont get online or at the average dealer that has so many products to learn about. I would say the Excel show will be the same though - with the bikes too!
