its nearly here . anyone considering not visiting this show to attend the alexander palace show should note that the a.p show of 2009 was a complete disapointment and i would urge them to reconsider . info for tube users , got to tower gateway this is docklands no changing trains from here , you may have to wait 4 right train for custom house though . only 10 stops from here . £18 entry to show

I was doing the security there many years back & we had to draft in any Tom, Dick & Harry to cover the venue,
We couldn't be too fussy as it was a rush job but one guy (who was recently over from Africa) refused to wear any footwear & wore his tie on his head!

(TRUE)
So he was walking around barefoot with a tie on his head speaking very broken English. (& tbh he was one of the better security guards we'd recruited !)

Don't get your hopes up. Last year's event was woefully inadequate as there were too few exhibitors and way too few bikes on show.

I now only go the NEC show.

I went last year, it was a bit of a let down but better than going all the way to the NEC to be let down

laverdas story reminded me of a man while i was working for a famous high st store , claimed to have been on a radio corse then proceeded to say there is a car here abc 123 . i said please return to the security depot . then i said what was this course youve just been on ? did they not tell you to say alpha, bravo etc he said they didnt tell him but thats probably the first thing you are taught . mind you he was a first class idiot .

I am going as well. Already booked 2 tickets and I ll be there with one of my mates.

Is it true that Suzuki is not on the show? I couldn't see it in the floor plan anywhere...
