Unfortunately be at work 'till Sunday but was planning on shooting down to the city this week on Sunday to visit a friend. A few years ago it was rather disappointing with almost no new models and the exhibit being very small, especially when compared to the International Auto show in the same building. ---

I noticed that too. Last year KTM and Aprilia weren’t there, which was a real shame because I still haven’t seen the RSV4 in person. But I still enjoy it. Suzuki has a nice display, usually at least 2-3 of their race bikes from AMA, and last year Martin Cardenas and Elena Myers were there signing autographs. Last year Yamaha had Ben Spies’ motogp bike there and Josh Hayes’ AMA R1, and in 2009 they had Rossi’s motogp bike. ---

Been there done that, I will just look at the new models online LOL. I absolutely hated the crowds down there its a madhouse, you can barely get a look at anything. The year I went down they stopped petting people in until people left, you couldnt even walk around without pushing people out of the way. ---

One thing that I liked was that they had a special “Dream Machine” section which featured the best bikes from the manufacturers who weren’t there: ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01082.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01082.jpg) ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01083.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01083.jpg) ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01084.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01084.jpg) Got to see Kevin Schwantz ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01088.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01088.jpg) He was really cool and pretty funny ![http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01089.jpg](http://i131.photobucket.com/albums/p282/HiSpeed48/DSC01089.jpg) ---
