By train to the docklands for the first show of the year - remarkably easy journey too. A good selection of bikes, all the new stuff of course (except, annoyingly, Norton) plus a live display area in the middle and some well laid out Customs and Classics area. Have to say I found the customs the most interesting, though the new Ariel was well impressive and the Harley (gulp) display was quite a sight too. But best bike there? Rama-lama-ding-dong, the oh so gorgeous custom Triumph T110 on the Carol Nash stand. Just amazing.
