London Motorcycle Show

Heh, I've no idea what price is good

It is (or was) called the "Sports & Superbike show" and as such there is more of a trend towards racing and tuning parts. Some of the smaller companies go and if you look around you can get yourself a good deal.

2 years ago Nick got a decent end can for £80.00

The Middlesex Massive will be in attendance.

Is that the SOC barbie on the A272 ?

I'm planning on going to Ally Pally - and possibly the SOC barbie on the A272.

Sounds like it will be busy !
Hope to see you there - I'll probably still have my K1 SVS (blue/standard)

I went 2 years ago as only live round the corned and thought it was good for kit. Like the others said, not really a patch on the NEC, but I wasnt really expecting it to be. I got a set of all right JTS leathers for 200 squid, still wearing them so all good (though a little tighter than they were when I bought them, but I dont think I can blame JTS for that!).

They only zip half way round but ive never been pulled up about it on any trackdays ive done.

I thought the display of bikes at Ally Pally was pretty poor though, not many manufacturers turned up, and even those that did didnt bring many bikes!

I would still go again this year, but my flippin holiday coincides with it so I cant make it. O well, you wont hear me complaining too much from the beach in Florida........

I am going tomorrw (Sunday 30th).
If you are around the Suzuki stand and see a plump/fattish bloke with short crop mousey hair and glasses with a girly with dark red hair and large breasts - that will be me!!! Come and say "are you into Penguins?"

ps: in my experience, the BMF at Peterborough is better for kit at rock bottom stupid prices but Ally Pally has great atmosphere!

So to all of you who have been so far? How was it? I am looking at going on the 5th! Any good deals to be had?

Why not just buy the jacket you like and change the zip (either on the jacket, trousers or both)?

For trackdays you don't need matching set 2 pieces, just have to have the two halves attached by zip.
