The Long Beach Bike Show is at the Convention Center on 8-10 December! I think it's in Seattle the weekend before (?)
If you've never been, its a spectacular event. There are more motorcycles parked in one spot than I've ever seen before (no, I haven't gone to Sturgis, I have better sense).
Motorcycle Parking is free, but if you take your car, it isn't. Last year we paid $12 to get in and stayed for hours. Plan on taking a backpack because you'll be temped by a dozen things you never thought you'd ever need
Last year, Metzler had a drawing for a set of tires. I won a set of M3's!!!
