Hey guys,

For everyone's reference, below are the tour dates of the show for 2011-2012. Cool place to demo bikes and see whats new. The big OEMs are coming back after a couple of years of being hit by the economy so we should expect a bigger presence of motorcycles and demo rides this year.

Thanks for the info, I just checked to make sure, the Daytona FL date is 2012 not 2010, lol, thought I had missed it.

 

Just a observation. New York, Seatle,Cleveland, Minneapolis,and Chicago. I wonder if they are renting heated suits for the demo rides? Dec, Jan, Feb are not good motorcycle riding months in these cities. LOL

 

Looking forward to some demo rides in Long Beach coming up. The first one I guess is in two weeks.

 

It was a lousy rainy cold weekend for the Long Beach show last year, but was well worth attending. I really liked the Gerbing booth and having bought one of their Jackets this year due in some part to my experience at the show last year I may have to upgrade my gloves as well this time around.

 

Pisses me off when shows like this don't come up north to New England.

 

Always the weekend of my Birthday. I'll be there.

No demo rides for San Mateo?? I can't find anything about them. Anyone else?? Have you checked your city?

Edit, found it! http://www.motorcycleshows.com/features/demo-rides

 

I'll be there this year. Long Beach

 

Yup, Long Beach here we come. Hit up the OL last nite and she said yeppers. Be nice for the grandkids too. Never to young to introduce them to massive amounts of bikes and accessories.
