International Motorcycle show

I went to the International Motorcycle Show when it was in town this last weekend and it was a big disappointment. If you are into leather and Harley's then you might like it. There was one local dealer that had about 5 scooters to look at. I did finally get to see the BMW's in person though. Didn't like them as much as my DT though. The Suzuki's were there too and look better with the new design but not worth the cost in my book. The 200 Burgman was not the prettiest either. $15 at the door for a slow 3 hour walk was not worth it in my book. Maybe if more manufacturers come back in the future it could be different.

Thank you for your timely show report. The show is going to be in Phoenix this weekand and I was trying to decide to do a dual sport ride on Saturday or go to the show.  I now know I'm going riding!

I went to the one in Orlando in October and it was pretty good. Florida has a decent number of scooter dealers so I guess they were better represented. I wouldn't go again. some things you only need to do once.

The Chicago show is next weekend. I tend to forget how bad they area after not going to one for a few years..

I guess I'll extend my memory for another year and skip it again.

I went to the show in Atlanta last year and many other times before that.  We get more than Harleys and black leather but I wish Kymco would have a display.

I did get to check out the new BMW scooters.
