I might pop along this weekend. Not sure yet whether it would be Saturday or Sunday. Komp, are you still on the number ending 164? Might give you a shout if I'm going on Sat. Nat, M6rk etc, I don't have any of your numbers but it'd be good to meet for a beer or something if I'm going on Sat.  I'll be a Billy Nae-mates!

Should we all wear red carnations so we can spot each other?
Title: Re: MCN london bike show
Post by: komp on February 11, 2014, 11:34:45 AM
if you like
I was going to give you or mark a call
although the carnations would be more fun

Would help, I am sure I walked straight past Alzo at the NEC.

Mind you I was head to toe in my komp-supplied official Ninja regalia so I make that his fault.

I couldn't get mobile reception in the hall and couldn't message anyone...I would never have ignored you...I feel in my heart you're good for a free coffee...so why would I.  :moto:

I went today........very dissapointed. If your after some lower budget kit then theres plenty there, but things like decent lids etc are still a bit too pricey. I remember back in the day you could get a good deal at the show.

Same with the NEC show matey internet has killed the deals at shows I only go to look at the bikes and socialise.

After last year I'm not expecting much.

Post by: T.C on February 14, 2014, 11:58:38 PM
I got there at 11.30 and by about 1, I think I was walking around for the 2nd time.  For the entrance price, I thought it was a waste of money, especially taking into account the cost of traveling to the venue.

Won't bother next year thats for sure

Well I needed to get the full kit sorted for my sister and did quite well.. what was there was quite interesting but it was waay smaller than I remember..

Back in the day.. (2003) I went to the ally pally show and it was heaving, even to the point they needed a tented area outside.. loads of racing spares and cool stuff.. am I romanticising over the past or was it really that much better?

Post by: Maddog on February 16, 2014, 10:57:53 PM
I went there to get a lid but the prices were shite. I needed a few bits for the zx10 but there were very limited stands offering bits....i came back with 2 dvds and a hard on after the spearmint rhino birds went past  :rofl:

Ally Pally was excellent Mark.

I wouldn't bother with the Excel if I lived next door to it.

Did the Ally Pally used to be called the 'Road Race & Supebike Show'?......  it was a great show back in the day.

Yeh, I used to go to it way back in late 90's before they tried to turn it into a mini-NEC show.  You could get all kinds of racebike stuff that wasn't easy to buy anywhere else.
