OK so what show was last weekend I am getting very confusedwith all these winter shows?

Ally Pally is the wrong side of London for me - easy enough to get to early in the morning, but a real [email protected]@rd to get back from (I'm from Sussex).
And the parking is pants!
Mind you they get plenty of people in through the door, so many that a couple of years ago the public walkways actually became grid-locked!

The manufacturers stands were basic to say the least, with only the best selling stuff on display and nowt for learners. I took my son there to look at what learner bikes were available, and between there big four jap stands there were...............none. When I pointed this out to the 3 wise monkeys on the Yamaha stand, they looked at me as if I was mad. It's the great British bike industry all over again!!!

I'll be giving Excel a go this year, I'm going up on the Sunday

And out of BMW, Ducati and KTM what learner bikes will there be at Excel?

I hope the Excel show pans out but I think there will not be enough manufacturers to make it appealing.

Not a problem this time round, my son was so unimpressed with the manufacturers attitudes towards learners that he opted for a car!
