Good news y’all… Alchemy Parts will be exhibiting at the MCN London Motorcycle Show 15-17 Feb 2019
This year’s started off very well, with strong demand for
a wide variety of our products. Spring’s round the corner and so, funnily
enough, is the Carole Nash MCN London Motorcycle Show at London’s Excel. From the 15th to 17th February, it’s
worth taking a trip down there, as there’s always a fair bit to see and do from
nearly all major manufacturers, such as Kawasaki, Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Triumph, Zero, BMW, CCM, Ducati, KTM, Scrambler Ducati. If you didn’t get to
the NEC or any of the a

‘Tis the season to be jolly...
Yes, Christmas is upon us again in a few short weeks. The
geese are getting fat, you’ve hung up, or are about to hang up your Shoei /
Arai / Bell helmets and your motorbike’s being tucked away nicely....You’re planning your build, or enhancement on an existing
project. You may have a Honda Hornet, Yamaha XSR, Ducati Monster, Moto Guzzi LeMans, anything that either wants product thrown at it, or needs
revitalising....You’re sweet-talking your other half so that the
headlight with brackets th

NEC Motorcycle Live Show - The UK's Biggest Motorcycle Show!
I always have trouble going to the NEC Motorcycle Live Show.
The problem is twofold. First, I’ve already seen all that there is to see, both
with motorbikes and accessories, in Cologne and Milan over the previous months.
Secondly, at the European shows, there aren’t vendors there, just pure
exhibitors, yet the NEC show is littered with companies selling end-of-line
goods, therefore turning it into Wembley market and cheapening the industry. I
hate to say it, but were you to take away the r

EICMA Motorcycle Show 2018 – My Milanese Adventure...PART 2:
OK, so my last blog was about the new machinery on
display at this show, but this is about the eclectic mix of customised bikes
that, unlike at the Cologne show, wasn’t on display with other customised
bikes, but on manufacturer’s stands. Germany is massively into its customising, hence the
slant on that kind of bike at that show, but Italy’s more about new metal for
the following year. In saying that, top marks have to go to the Italians, as

EICMA Motorcycle Show 2018 – My Milanese Adventure...PART 1:
Amazing really. There I was, about a month ago, walking
round the Intermot Motorbike Show in Cologne, thinking how low profile and
sombre it was. Reflecting on how the industry that I’ve been in for 26 years
has changed dramatically and what the future holds for its growth back to the
glory days, if ever possible; but then....as if my magic....I turn up to Milan
and see a massive effort from literally all manufacturers to showcase their
2019 hardware, clothing, accessories and off the wall
