Sunny skies and warmer crowds welcomed the 2012 Progressive
International Motorcycle show to Long Beach, CA this past weekend to
showcase the new and noteworthy in the motorcycle industry, as well as giving
visitors a chance to revisit some true old classics, like a collection of
antique Indians dating back from 1931.

For H-D fans, plenty of models
were on display, including the limited-edition the factory-customized CVO
Breakout Anniversary edition with the hard-candy paint. A 2003 Harley Fatboy
“Wicked Beauty” left many passers-by taking a second look because of its
multicolor candy paint and chrome galore. The IMS also partnered with local
vintage clubs like the SoCal Sidecar Club and the Antique Motorcycle Club of
America for a display including a 1948 H-D FL with sidecar built by Chris
Richardson/LA Speed Shop.

The Progressive Open Road Experience was back with a variety
of backdrops available for your “ride” with Flo, including desert and palm tree
sets for those feeling tropical. Check out the photos on Facebook.

Next stop on the IMS tour is Seattle, WA this weekend, Dec.
14-16.
