London International Custom Show 2011 - A Review
OK this is the second custom bike show at Ally Pally - there was a change of organisers and Back Street Heroes stepped in to provide valuable support. It was held over two days this year rather than three last year, and had shrunk down to the mediums sized hall and a sparsely filled half of the main hall. In the end I only took one bike (Macbeth) as to be honest it is far easier to ride it there and ride it straight home with all that messing about with vans and queuing for a loading space. As usual I failed to win anything, but I think I ended up in the top 10 which is creditable enough, given the bizarre nature of the voting system - which I wont go into here. Nevertheless its always great to go to these places and see old friends and meet new ones like Adam and his crew from Untitled Motorcycles doing great BMW's.

Terrific pictures Ian. Not bad for an old film camera!
Gary sent me. Awesome bikes.
Great photos. Nice bikes. I also came over from Gary's blog.
glad you like them - its a Pentax P30 you can pick up on EBay for about £10 and add a new lens!
Hi, Went to the Show and thought Macbeth was an awesome looking bike and really stood out from the crowd. Love the idea of styling around the Bard, what about one themed to The Tempest. Once again awesome looking bike, don't understand why you didn't win anything.
Cheers - glad you liked it - Bike No.8 a hardtail BMW coming later this year needs a quote - so any suggestions appreciated!
THe pic at the bottom right handcorner certainly has a bit of......umm........sex appeal! Great pics.
Ian:
very nice photos you have using your classic film camera. As Raftnn pointed out on that last photo the girl is blocking most of the view. Next time perhaps, get her to stand aside so we can see more bike.
Gary sent me too.

I too have got two beaten up old Pentax cameras. I just went and found them and guess what - they are P30's just like yours!
