I was there today..... watched a whole bunch of people carrying bags with reading material in them. Fools.... don't they know the art of motorcycle shows is picking the right bags at the right moment? Mine had gear in them.

 
Jim and I were planning on running down for the day, but the flu has been kicking my ass.

 
I was working the OffRoad Ontario booth on Friday and saw Huron52's clone since Tom never goes anywhere. Ray was a no show at our booth but we were in the back forty with the rest of the riff raff...

Some of the vintage bikes were nice....

When I started riding Enduros you were hot stuff if you had one of these....

Carver probably remembers Preston Petty Plastics.

 
We had some fun after an hour of finding a parking spot. We stopped at the booth looking for you Billy, my wife made a comment about the mural on the trailer "can that guy see where he is going?" I told her the single track guys ride by feel :) WNYFJR & Laura, Wineguy & Kim myself & Liana we had a great time and then did a RTE to Montana's where we sum'd up the days events.

 
Sounds like more crowded than normal, but you watch.... it will be sparse at the downtown manufacturer's show in Feb.

Bill, I had so much going on Friday I forgot to ask if you would be there..... betcha I was within 100 feet...... sorry I missed ya.

I skipped Saturday and was back at the show today for the OffRoad Ontario annual awards and then help pack up the booth. We have to do a few mods to our dirt bikes to go riding in the Great White North in January...

I needed to be dressed a little warmer as a blizzard was moving in for the trip home after the show....

After the show some of the folks that helped at the booth stopped at Zets Burgers for dinner....

My buddy Billy Watson (closest to the camera) is a wuss and went something more healthy....

While at the show I did order up a pair of new Klim street gloves. They didn't have my size left but they let me order them at the show price and the shop is close to my home so that worked out well. I'm also going to check on a new pair of Olympia dual sport pants when I'm at the shop.

Our booth was close to the Sportbike Stunt Riding Demo and my ears are still ringing from listening to those bikes hitting the rev limiter. I think I'll go pour me a Forty Creek now to mellow out.
