Seattle motorcycle show

I went yesterday and was really disappointed. I got a set of earplugs from Fit Ear and tried to put our sticker on JCR's pretend baja bike (couldn't quiiiiiite reach ) Ran over to Touratech and pretended I was MUCH bigger when trying on the Klim gear :D Drooled a little over some of the old skool motorcycles and the sumos and then headed out to wander around Westlake and the International District. Maybe because the space seemed bigger, but it seemed like there was fewer booths this year and it really looked like a big dealership expo. I can go to the dealership and see new bikes I want to see something useful :/ There was a booth full of Oregon & Washington maps though, but I didn't pick one up That would have been useful...

Anyone else go?

Yup I went Sat in the AM. It was ok. I would have liked to see KTM there with the lineup of the new bikes.



Some of the vintage bikes were cool and a few custom jobs. Tried on the V-max for size, some day I am going to have to take one for a spin.



I was impressed with this young lady (I bet she was 110 lbs) who managed to pick up the Harley they had laying down to demonstrate proper lifting of a downed bike.

Watched the trials guys demo. They have some skills.

Talked with the Scala Rider people and am going to wait until March for the Q8 or G8 or something like that with product improvements.



I managed to not buy a single thing.

Last year was my first.....and last time attending (probably)

I should probably be practicing that... :)

It was pretty dead on Sunday.

Two or 3 years ago when I went it was actually really cool. Tons of booths and things to look at (and buy). This year...not so much. The vintage bikes were pretty much the best part!
