So the show SUCKED. The only manufacturers that showed up were the Big 4 and their matching metric cruisers, Ducati, and HD. No Aprilia, no KTM, no BMW, no Triumph, no Guzzi, and of course no Buell. The IX center was about as half as full as it was last year, and they just stuffed more vendors inbetween the spaced out manufacturers. And with the economy taking its toll on the development of the new bikes, everything basically was a rehash of last year with some new paint jobs. I have lots of pics to put up, but PB is on the fritz, so I am going to test it out with one pic first. You guys should like it.

Winners- new Kawasaki Z1000, Ducati 1198S Corse, Kawasaki ZX-14 (again)
Losers- new Ducati Multistrada, Aprilia, KTM, BMW, and Triumph

Let me know if you can't see it...
