Daytona Day at the London Motorcycle Museum!

I was at Reg Allen in Hanwell, West London last week to get some bits for the Daytona. Sure enough, Bill Crosby did not disappoint, from the k/s and g/ch shaft seal components on the gearbox right up to a pair of fully floating TLS front brake shoes, and in the less common 7" size too! Highly recommended.

In fact Reg Allen is highly recommended for other reasons too. The shop is in a mid/late sixties time warp. It was a Meriden Triumph main dealer and Bill Crosby still runs it like that. The layout, the decor, the straightforward service methods (expect a little bit of good-natured mickey taking, but huge in depth product knowledge) remind me of my local bike shop in Leamington when I was a teenager. They also sponsor the London Motorcycle Museum in Greenford.

Tomorrow Sunday 26th June will be Daytona Day at the LMM. With live music and a barbeque included, all for only £8, its going to be a great event. Unfortunately won't be seeing you there since my particular Daytona is in dock at the moment, but don't let that stop you!
