We had talked about it but I had an Uncle pass away today so we will be headed to southern Indiana instead.

I was there around 11:30 Tom. New fjr is sharp. Love the updated head lights and tail lights. Clutch pull feels the same to me. Also liked the bmw r1200rt and the kawasaki h2. Too bad I don't have 20 grand + to spend on either one. I really like what Polaris is doing with the Indians.

Yes, I got there early (right at 9:00) and was leaving around that time (11:30) ... We probably overlapped each other at some point ...
Love the new FJR and it does feel very close from a clutch standpoint ... Beautiful front end ..
I cant get my mind off of a Super Tenere for some reason ... Alaska has been calling me for a few years and she wont shut up ... I don't know how I feel about taking my FJR up there ...
Was a decent show this year .. I tried like hell to buy a new helmet but just couldn't pull the trigger ...
Oh well, a great way to spend a cold February day.
Hope all is well and looking forward to a ton of riding this year ... Hang in there a while longer ... Almost spring ...

I was there on Friday. Love that Cobalt Blue, reminded me of my 06. MammaYama really needs to get rid of those chrome pipes IMO. UGH!
Great show, still wish they had more vendors selling accessories instead of trinkets and junk. Walking through that area is like walking through a car dealership. They are all over you! If I'm interested in your product, I'll stop and talk to you. Leave me alone! Just sayin'...

You might be in the minority on that one. There's always the aftermarket route if that's the way you want to go.

Thought the show was good. The 16 FJR was sharp but I agree I liked the 60th anv. Super Tenere. All in all a pleasant day. As long as I stayed away from the Harley areas. I even took in a bonus and did not realize the car show was running as well. Made it thru that one also. Hope everyone enjoyed!

I don't disagree one bit, just my preference and will be ordering a set of pipes soon. If they were at least something other than chrome, maybe silver brushed aluminum or better yet titanium would be great. It's the only piece on the bike that's shiny. Just my .02 and worth what you paid. Still a good looking ride!
