I used to go to the Ally Pally Show to set up tyres, brake pads and the like for my little team of riders for the coming season.................etc.The major manufacturers were represented and the ACU and TT lot were there to answer questions.
It was in fact "The ROAD RACING SHOW"..

It has now degenerated into a Sunday morning market with all the "last years" dross being sold to unsuspecting people who think they are getting bargains !!! Last years Helmets,leathers gloves etc...

I am astounded that it has been allowed to fall to this level and I am "pleased" to hear from people who went that I am not alone in my appraisal of the sorry affair....

I am also told that attendance was done big time and tickets were going at half price to get people to attend....

It used to be great to meet the teams who would be participating in various classes during the year...But we saw much LESS than is acceptable at something which was called "The ROAD RACING SHOW" ....
I didn't see much pertaining to road racing !!
VERY disappointing and the MOTORCYCLE NEWS should be ashamed !!!

But that's my opinion .............
