Me and a couple of friends are planning on going to the Ohio and Detroit shows, but I dont think that we will be able to make Atlanta, we would have to bring the bikes, and make a week out of it. Dont think that would go over too well. (with the girlfriends)

Almost forgot about that one. I was there 3 years ago and got a full Spyke 2 peice suit, Alpinestar gloves(the good ones) and sidi boots (vertabrae) for $1400, I could not turn it down. Plus I needed some new gear.

Trust me January ain't THAT warm here It might even <shudder> snow a day So are the Detroit and Ohio shows the same people? I am wondering since if it is just next years bikes I can pass. If there is new gear to see and good deals I might do the ride over (3-4hrs plus I hate going near Atlanta to many people)

The main show (manufactures) has now been changed to December as well as the venue. It's now held at the Toronto Metro Convention Centre in downtown TO. They still have the show in January at the International Centre in Mississauga but it's more of a Custom bike/Flea market type deal.

Re: Altanta show in January
The International Cycle shows that are put on around the country all have the same major exhibitors (Honda, Yamaha, Harley, etc.), but the vendors who exhibit varies from city to city. I've been to shows in Detroit, Cleveland, and Chicago. Chicago has the best show by far of the three, with Cleveland next. Detroit just started having the show here a couple of years ago and it definitely lacks for exhibitors. Just my

I will probably roll in a bit later. 3.5 there plus I lose an hour on the way over due to time zone.

EDIT: I will probably have a red Lynchburg Motorcycle rally shirt on (advertise for my brother )

Just bought my tickets online... The line to buy tickets was extremely long last year, it moved relatively quickly... But... extremely long.

Hey I just got to the ATL today. Me and my son may try to get there tomorrow. Maybe around noon. If anyone is going PM me and I will check it in the morning and give you a call. There wasn't a show in St. Louis last year so I might as well try to see it while I'm here.

Thanks for the offer but I will be headed out before it opens (about 7-8AM Atlanta time) worst case I drive over and waste a trip No big deal I enjoy the roam sometimes.

I'm sorry I missed you Sheep, everyone wearing a red t-shirt probably thought I was some type of stalker...

Bet I know which RC51 you brought home.
