Anyone had one of these around you? I am gonna go to one today hopefully. I will post pics when i get back.

I went to the one here in long beach, CA but it was my first motorcycle show ever so i didn't have much to compare to. It was pretty neat getting to sit on a bunch of different bikes. I was about to buy a scorpion exo700 helmet but decided i didn't need an additional 180 bucks charged to my card that month haha. Ended up buying some anti fog stuff instead...

Ya, just went today in Toronto. It was great. Alot of nice bikes and Michele Smith was there! (American thunder) I bought leather chaps($50), and a leather tool bag for $30 bucks.

I would love to go to one but don't know where they have them around here.

I try to go every year, always fun to see the new bikes, and you get to sit on just about everything.

**inspiron** · 01-08-2006, 12:22 PM

Just how do you define an "international" bike show? Is that a show where they feature metric bikes?

The international shows over here start at the end of the month - the first one is in Friedrichshafen (Lake Constance) at the end of January. Then comes SwissMoto in Zurich in mid-February. The riding season should being in March, but it really isn't fully "summer" until around June, when the alpine passes re-open. At the moment, they are covered with several meters of snow...

That's what it's called. I go because I'm crazy with cravings this time of year.

I didn't know I was going until Friday night (went Saturday morning).
I was at two or three different suzuki places at the show. I may have went right by you.

LOL

my girlfriend took my cowboy hat off of my when i went to go pose on the bikes on my wish list. Apparently she thought it didnt look right, eh. Pics to come soon. It was cool, they had a guy doing backflips on a 125 dirtbike and no footed backflips and no handers off of a few ramps..pretty sweet overall. I loved it!
