Weekend of Feb.27-29, Montreal Convention Centre.  
I'm looking forward to this, as a mid-winter motorcycle booster-shot.

Anyone else planning on being there?

With a 30 day riding season up there I would have not expected to see a motorcycle show up there :lol:

30 days hmm. I take my bike out in april and put it away in november, 7 months. What is with all the jokes about canadians and our winters. Yes I
have a phone, no I don't live in an igloo and no I don't own a snowmachine. Hey john, I've been to Mass and you guys get a good amount of snow. Do you all think we're snowed in 12 months of the year?
I'm starting to find these jokes annoying and quite ignorant. If I was making jokes about the US, you guys would be all over me. So grow up already!!!

Andrew.... Simmer down now.  You must CHILL  :lol:   It is all in fun.  I live in the U.S. and in the summer it gets really hot in southern arizona.  Jokes come a flying and I enjoy everyone of them.  So let's just  :kiss: and make-up.  

Don't take it so serious.  You will grow old very fast.  By the way how is the GS-sickle.  :lol:   :lol:   :lol:

Actually, where I live, in the Adirondacks (upstate NY) we go to Montreal to get WARM.  
Old joke:
Q: what do you do in the Adirondacks in the summertime?
A: if it's a nice weekend, we have a bar-b-que.

I was seriously surprised at the level of motorcycling in Canada myself, but get this:

in 2003: 19,877 motorcycles sold in Quebec;
            nearly 120,000 bikes registered

last year the show drew over 40,000.

amazing.

I think I will come up to the show from Ottawa that weekend. Its gonna be pretty damn decent.

Anyway, about the canadian riding season, Im from Alberta, and I dont winterize my bike, becasue I can ride in every single month of the year. Nice warm winds blow over the mountains and melt away the snow, and bring high temps. Last year I rode on christmas day. Its pretty damn decent. :cheers:
