On the 14th of February, myself and my Uncle took a trip up to the ExCeL Centre in London to spend the day at the Motorcycle show that was being held there. It was an absolutely fantastic event which features hundreds of different motorcycle manufacturers from Honda to Harley Davidson, even to Indian!

The highlight of the Friday show had to be the feature known as 'Foggy Friday' whereby four-time World Superbike Champion, Carl Fogarty showcased all four of his title winning bikes. There were also various motorcycle stars there such as John McGuinness, Cal Crutchlow and James Toseland, as well as many more. Of course I went along with my trusty dictaphone and grabbed a few interviews due to a fair amount of high profile starts being there as BT Sport announced their line-up for the 2014 MotoGP coverage.

Here is a selection of some of my favourite photographs that I took as well as the aforementioned interviews. Feedback, as ever, is highly appreciated.

I have no idea what this is, but whatever it was it has one NOS bottle per valve and is turbocharged!

Good thread and nice photos! The carbon fibre bike looks like a modified MTT Turbine Superbike, which is powered by a Rolls-Royce Allison jet engine.
