2012 bike Show?

[kdogg]

Has anyone been to the 2012 International Bike Show? Thinking bout going to the Cleveland show next week,but last year it was so underwelmimg! lack of vendors and not enough new models! i remember years ago when you had lots of chromer,powdercoaters and after market parts! Do we need enother shammie,fake sunglasses or glass cleaner booth?

I went Friday to the one in NYC, and got to say it was underwhelming.... 2 hours total and a ton of vendors selling their overpriced wares (mostly crap). There was especially one choice vendor who had $140 HJC helmets marked up to $400 with 25% off....Sale price $300!!! A complete douche. Several very cool custom bikes but really after paying for parking, admission and tolls.... Would have rather trolled the forums & took the wife out for a quiet dinner.

Yes I agree I was there on Sunday same deal 2 hours in the car, 3 hours at the show and 2 hours home. There where some great bike but few vendors of interest. I remember when it took all day and it was interesting.

We went on saturday, weather was terrible . We drove 2 1/2 hours in the ice and snow ,accidents were everywhere. Went to the convention center and saw everything in about 3 hours , not what we were expecting .Very few aftermarket part suppliers . Only vendor that was interesting was the Montgomery Motorsports - Home. They had a carbor fiber air box that was supposedly going to give you 5 more horsepower and a reduction of 5 pounds of weight high up on the cg. ?Price was $900.00

wanted to go but could net get off work. doesnt look like I missed much. its such a hassle getting in there unless u take the train and a cab which is a pita to. the more I look at OCC bikes the less appealing I find them. they look like circus bikes.... glad I missed it now. that Ducadi looks hot tho.

anyone got any pics of the the F4rr MV Agusta? thats worth seeing in white.....:yes:
