I'm going with my friend from high school, who is shopping. And my sister's BF who has a 86 Nighthawk and a brand new GS BMW. We will probably go Saturday.

Unfortunately the weather looks like crap this weekend. The free MC parking is nice.

So this Weekend Jan13-15 there is the Progressive Motorcycle Show. I wanted to know if anyone was going. Ill be their with some mates i meet on a new motorcycle app Amino Moto. Ill be their Saturday 9am just inside to the right for a bit then off to check out the show. If the weather keeps getting better I'd like to ride out there.

I hope to see some of y'all their.

Lol wut

I knew Aprilia wasn't going to be there. Didn't know Honda wasn't there. WTF

There were a few Hondas there from a Dealer in Dallas but no official Honda display nor KTM. Kawasaki, Suzuki, and Yamaha all had nice displays. Yamaha has a FJR Police bike now, maybe not something new but it was new to me. Twisted Throttle was there but somewhat scaled back from previous years.
I was disappointed by Progressive's participation. Printed out the email they sent me and took it with me thinking I could get a discount at the gate but no, only available online. Supposedly a $4.00 discount but since it's only online it's a $3 discount because of the $1 service fee. I got a free hat out of the deal, so I can advertise Progressive for them for free, I think it will be my under the car oil change/sweaty day hat. Had some free time so I thought I'd get a free cup of coffee from them but I walk over and show them my printed out email (it's supposed to show them I'm a customer I guess) but they still want me to go through the annoying process of typing in my name, my email, on a pad that a girl is holding for me at an awkward angle and when it gets to my birthday date screen ..I walk away and tell her that I don't need a cup of coffee that bad. I didn't buy any food there, $7 for a bag of pop corn and I think a BBQ sandwich was $12. Pretty sure I'm not going next year.

Me and Eric Buell

Had a few interesting things there. It was interesting to see the R9T cafe racer. Cylinders sticking out farther than the handlebars, but it did look cool. Chatted up a pair of OKC motor-cops about the various Cop bikes at the show. The seemed to really like the HD for around town (I don't get it) but they both own Japanese bikes. Overall nothing really special at the show. If you didn't make it you didn't miss much.

new gsxr1000r was pretty cool (maybe!?). saw kevin schwantz so that was nice. saw Shane which was nicer. sat on a pretty ducati. sat on a $55000 Kwak. bmw r9t is super cool. pretty weak show but watching the fmx guys while eating lunch was fun.

[fixxervi6]

yea if I had an around town bike that r9t would be mine
