| Re: Novi, Michigan Int'l Motorcycle Show Doubt I'll make it since I have plans to meet some other VFR hooligans at the Cleveland show later this month. Actually just heard it was this weekend a couple days ago, so no planning done.
But where is the brew pub, and when do you plan to start doing your research. I'll be coming home from Southfield and passing there around 3pm. I'm always up for helping a fellow lister do a little research.  |

| Re: Novi, Michigan Int'l Motorcycle Show The Cobo Center venue in Detroit was way too costly for most vendors to exhibit. The unions and the city have made it prohibitive for just about any show to be held there anymore.

| Re: Novi, Michigan Int'l Motorcycle Show A friend told me there was a "Local Color" brewpub, but it appears that they're gone, so how good could it have been?
There's a sports bar with pool tables 4 miles away.. Oh, well, I prefer bourbon these days anyway. http://www.theelephantbar.com/
Any other suggestions? What's "The Post?"
In lieu of good beer, I'll settle for decent Mexican food...  |

Decent Mexican on Haggerty @ 8 mile.
Is it safe to bring the wife, or should she wait in the car? Let me know when and where and I'll see if I can make it. We'll biss you Baketech
It is these rider gatherings afterwards that always make the shows special  |

LOL at Bake's edit.. | Beer and Margaritas, and probably some other things. Just an option.

I will agree, that is actually decent Mexican food. Not good, but definately decent. |
