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...

Post? What Post? I didn't see any Post!

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

I am hoping to make it as well. But with a prego wifey at home don't know. And I agree the one at Cobo wasn't so great of a show.

Do they serve beer? Margaritas? (This will influence the sort of stories your wife "may" hear about your exploits.) On the other hand, if you have her trained to wait in the car..



LOL at Bake's edit..

Beer and Margaritas, and probably some other things. Just an option.

Not that she is trained to stay in the car, but she will do that occassionally to catch up on her studies.

They jumped AZ then as there's bunches of them in the Bay Area and in SoCal.

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