I'd like to see for myself-but not at the local stealership.

Seems like a bit of a boat to me. Not at all like the 2-wheeled 535i that I've come to expect from BMW.

Triumph and Aprilia were at Long Beach. They will probably be in New York.

Hard core wingers retire to can-am.

There are those guys that will come to a show just to argue. All of us working have told wingers... "I'm sure Honda is happy to have you."

We loved the wingers in Knoxville. They spent money and didn't mess shit up aka not like bike week in Myrtle Beach. Still don't know why Knoxville stopped doing the Honda Hoot.

Apparently Honda stopped it, money ran out.

I agree. Americade might make us want to slap people. But, if the worst part of it is dealing with old guys that make their bikes look like ferris wheels. Then sign me up! There are much worse annual events out there. Let's take Sturgis for example

Rallies, in general, are a lot of work.

These bikes have the coolest sound to them... it's like a Jetsons mobile hum rather than a typical exhaust.

This is from the demo at Firebird Raceway in Phoenix. We did a walk around during our morning tech of the bikes. This is all of them fired up. I just wish someone would have turned off the radio on the one so we had the sound of just the bikes...
