 | vendors at the ohio bike show? Just thought that I would find out what kind of vendors are going to be at the Ohio bike show at the end of january? I have never been to it, but I was at the one in Detroit(not too bad) I am interested to find out if I am going to be able to get a great deal on a pipe or maybe a power comander? Does indy superbikes normally have a booth? Me and a couple of friends are coming from about 10-12 hours away so we want to make sure that it is worth the drive. Any one been there before? How was last years? Any info is good info. Thanks again | |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? Maybe your local vendors will show up, the vendors at the Seattle show sucked.  |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? Vendors don't always make a great showing. Most of them cater to the Harley/cruiser type, the others mainly to the stunna crowd; the last couple years anyway. The starfagz and ruff ryda's and other crackhead groups take up a good part of the booth's selling their lame video's. Las Vegas Extreme's(I think that's what they are) were here last year...the chick is much hotter in the video than in life  There are reps from bigger companies, but a lot of the shops that you would want to see don't always make it. Luck of the draw I guess  |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? Jo-Jo from the lvx has more miles on her than all of the bikes on here combined. I got to meet her a year or so ago too, looks much better on film, or better yet with a helmet on...  ...She was very nice though... I am hoping to get a good deal on some michelin rubber and maybe some other little things(like no cut sliders)? dont think that I have the finances for a major purchase like an exhaust but...if the price is right...who knows. I have noticed the trend towards more and more stunnas at the bike shows selling custom fabbed bike crash cages and the likes, I guess that I will never understand? |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? All that is sort of just expected around here with the starfagz hometown being 30 min. south Haven't seen any of them on the freeways in a long time though. They're probably too busy infesting the rest of the country.Last edited by ND4SPD : 01-07-2005 at 7:17 PM. |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? Too busy promoting "safe motorcycling practices" to be seen on the highways? Maybe they have finally smartened up and taken that crap off of the public roads? I can rember riding through akron with a friend on he bikes and sure enough we(who were behaving) got followed by the "fuzz" for a good 10-20 minutes...long story short, stunting on the streets is no good for any one. |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? For a while anyone and everyone would get followed. I can't tell you how many times they followed me, just waiting to do something. I don't know if you can anymore, but you used to be able to see all the tiremarks on the freeways from when they'd land their wheelie's. Some parts of the freeway would look like an airport runway. |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? Great links guys, I knew that I could count on the .org to help me out. I did not see michelin tires  , and was kinda suprised to see the arai guys on the list. I guess that I will be saving some room in the car for the ride home after all. |

| Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? I don't recall anyone selling tires at either the Chicago, Detroit, or Cleveland shows. You might find some deals on helmets, leathers, gloves, and stands though... |

 | Re: vendors at the ohio bike show? When i went to the bike show in detroit, i saw more girls showing cleavage tryin to promote stunt videos than the actual bikes. I have a feeling that the cleveland one will be better. I am going probaby saturday if not for sure sunday. If you wait the last day, most vendors will throw products at you to buy. |
