A chance to see stars of the Isle of Man TT – including 15-times winner John McGuinness – was among the highlights of the MCN London Bike Show.
McGuinness was joined by three-times TT winner Ian Hutchinson and Manxman Conor Cummins during the event at the Excel Centre.
The trio were helping to promote the 2010 TT. They were interviewed about the upcoming festival and faced a Motor Cycle News team in a special TT quiz. The racers beat the team of Phil Wain, John Westlake and Sam Pinney by 20 to 15.
The show ran over four days, attracting more than 30,000 visitors. As well as riders helping to promote the TT, Official Travel Agency Regency Travel were present to promote travel and accommodation packages.
Regency’s Richard Howarth reported huge interest in the TT.
He said:
‘It was really useful meeting people and getting their feedback on the TT.’
‘The show was a real success for us and it was good to get the chance to promote the TT in London.’
