Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Were you there first thing in the morning, it looks empty.

Great pics, thanks for posting them! That M109R is still a ride I want to see in "person"!

**Louis** · 01-31-2006, 07:22 AM

The blue of the SV looks much more deeper than what I thought first.

I have to admit that I like the look of the gixxer... as for the M109, if it weren't for that headlight...

**Trapper** · 01-31-2006, 07:29 AM

Nice album. I liked the Norton, and the naked SV

Hi Blackie. I got off night shift Friday morning, grabbed a bite, and made it to the show at 09:30 for a 10:00 start. It was great, had the place to myself. Left at around 2:00 and it was pretty packed, on a Friday too. Must have been a zoo on the weekend. Perks of shift work I guess.

Did you make it to the show? I thought it was a good one. Picked up a new leather jacket (classic biker style) and a few odds and ends. Cheers all.

blackie1491 · 01-31-2006, 01:44 PM

No I did not go. I have been feeling this need for bling and knew I would not be able to resist, so I stayed home.

Great pics. Thanks.

Hey Atlas,
What is the bike in Image 3921. The one just before the old Norton?

I can answer that. It's the Hyosung GV650 from Korea.

Thanks EZ. I was scratching my head trying to recall the particulars on that one. Cool looking bike that caught my eye. Belt driven too...

I'll take the Norton

Adrenalin_Junky · 02-07-2006, 01:12 AM

Yeah Show was Stellar! Noticed a lot more Stunterz there this year! And lots of Re-sell shops show casing rebuilt bikes.
had some killer deals on gear too!
My buddies couldnt understand that even at 40% off, Arai helmets were still breaking the $1000 mark! lol
Nice to try on the new sharks though~

Was there on Sat eve, (VIP=no line

- pay to know Yamaha Managers) went to chek the Trials Demo, but it was 3, 40+ yr old guys doing nothing special...
Other than that was a great show once again.
ZX 14 was disgusting, along with the Ducati booth~
Cheers~

Glad you liked the show.
40 year old guys, I guess to a 20 year old 40 would seem like Moses.
The biggest thing is you ride and enjoy it.

I went one generation to far.
My one grandchild will be 1 in Mar.

I have to force myself away from the toy department, my daughter-in-law is not to happy with my comment about buying him a rideum motorcycle.
My son used to ride, she is scared of them. Of course he is a little young yet.

Probaly should wait another month or so.

Your grand kids look good. Mine is named Luke.

I am still having a problem adjusting to sleeping with a Grandmother.

LOL~ no worries Bob, 40 aint old at all. My dad just turned 50 and started doing BackFlips on the Sky-Ski

Ill be happy if I can walk at his age!
Comment wasnt aimed at their age, but more to their ability as "Trials" riders! I was expecting to see something that i couldnt do on my mtn bike!
But all round, fell outta the bike scene a bit over winter, so looking to get back into it along with a new ride...hopefully!
