SuperBike Motorcycle Show - Alexander Palace, 26th - 28th January 2007

This year saw the launch of the new Motorcycle Show at Ally Pally, organised by SuperBike Magazine, which ran from January 26th to 28th, 2007. The opportunity arose for the C.C.M.C to manage a stand at this show, for the promotion of the 16th Copdock Motorcycle Show, at Trinity Park (Suffolk Show Ground), on the 7th October. To help generate interest, a raffle was started, to win a new Royal Enfield 350 Classic Trial bike. This raffle will continue to run through the year, with the draw taking place on the 7th October 07, at our show. If you wish to purchase a ticket, they are on sale from Custom Bikes of Troston, Washbrook Service Station, Old London Road, Copdock and The Dove Street Inn, St Helens Street, Ipswich. Other locations will become available through the year and publicised on this web site.

Over the course of the three days, the stand was visited by several memorable people and received much attention……………….

The hard work of setting up the stand begins!!
Cal Crutchlow : Teamed up with Craig Jones in the Northpoint Ekerold Honda team for the 2005 British Supersport championship. He won four races towards the end of the season, dominating at Donington and Brands Hatch. For 2006 he stayed with the team and dominated the class, winning the championship with races to spare. For 2007, Rizla Suzuki have signed him to partner Chris Walker for their challenge to regain the British title.
Michael Rutter : Michael 'The Blade' Rutter's career, which has seen him have spells in 500cc and with many teams in British Superbike. He first competed in the British Superbike championship in 1995, and since then has raced 215 times, with 25 victories. For the 2007 season, MSS Discovery Kawasaki have signed him for their superbike team after making the move up from the British Supersport class.
Chris Walker: One of Britains favorites, Chris 'the stalker' Walker is loved for his dogged spirit and determination never to give up. His finished runner up three times in the British Superbike championship. In World Superbikes, he has had spells with GSE Ducati in 2003, Foggy Petronas and for the 2006 season he joined up with PSG Kawasaki Corse to partner Regis Laconi and 250cc export Fonsi Nieto.
