I bought my tickets this week but looking at the exhibitors list I don't see Triumph. A mistake or are they really not attending?

Quite possibly not, as they were at the NEC. Would be a shame if the discount clothing people weren't there...

From the exhibitors list none of the Jap manufactureres are showing either.

It used to be much better when it was the Road Race and Superbike Show.

I'd be up for a meet and greet. I was re-considering whether to go if Triumph aren't there but I've never been to a bike show so....

Not really the same is it? Long Beach and Docklands?

My guess is that EMAP the robbing gits are asking too much for a stand there, otherwise the Japs would be on the list.

and? that topic states this subject (Triumph's no-show that is, not the Excel venue) has been discussed before. unless you have the time to trawl all posts to find similar subject matter is there any harm in discussing it here?

When is it? I thought it was in Feb if so when are you all planning to go? I would like to meet up again but don't know if I wil be on call, please post who when and where, DD. :-D

Feb 1-4. I'm going on the Saturday (3rd). Free parking if you arrive by bike, cars will be charged for.

 

[9264]

I'm going with a coachload on saturday 3rd. We normally do this for the Ally Pally show so carried on for Excel.

Two bike shows in London in the space of a couple of weeks. What's goin' on :huh: Excel or Ally Pally? Well it's gotta be Excel for me as i've never been there.

 

[Treehugger]

im going cos i've never been (to a show that is), well work permitting that is Sat sounds good

 

[9264]

Erm...Excel is on cos Ally Pally isn't. The venue has been switched due to refurbishment at Ally Pally.

Bloody hell - take it all back.

When we went to Ally Pally last year we were told by a number of exhibitors that the show would not be there this year because of refurbishment work and would probably be at Excel.

Lo and behold - a show at Excel arrived.

Looks as though EMAP robbing gits have nowt to do with the Ally Pally show, which can only be good.

Certainly looks like the Ally Pally show will be up to the usual standard with all the manufacturers there.

No wonder they're not going to Excel the following week!

 

[doodledog]

Think they will be there, seems a waste to travel back just move across town instead, I had also hard ally paly was no more, obviously EMAP pulled out to do there own and mcn would then not advertise it.

 

[9264]

And that was why the last Excel show was a flop

 

[Treehugger]

OK so now what? Ally pally is better? more history, better manufact's and more pop?... I don't know which to go to... would there be e better one for picking up bargains? Although I do wear main brand stuff Shoei,Dainesse,alpine,oxtar... hmm i dunno any 2 cents on offer?

 

[9264]

If I wasn't away for Ally Pally, that would be the one I would go to.

I hope I'm wrong but I think Excel will be pants.

 

[doodledog]

Ally pally was last weekend so we missed it, exel is begining of Feb so if we are going thats the one, I will probably go on sat the 3rd.
