Just got back from Indy.  What a day.

Met GSTwins.com member BockinBboy at the show.  Swapped lies for about 35 or so minutes.  Good to put a face with a name.

Show was awesome.  Sat on a lot of bikes.  Suzuki GW250 a bit small...so not impressed there.  Liked the Honda CB500R (The model with the windscreen and fairing), The Honda CB1100, and the BMW F700GS with the comfort seat.

The Ducati girls were there.  Mmmmmm...Ducati girls...

And then there were lots of custom bikes too.

The green scorpion bike had real scorpions in the plastic container right below the passenger pillion.  Cool, yet a bit bizarre.

Seattle was fun.
I loved the little tags on the show bikes:
"If this was your bike, would you want someone touching it?"
Soooooo much better that "Do not touch"

Adidas, I saw those too. Nice touch.

It was fun. Will go next year.

Just got back today.. I'll have to post up some pics later but...
We ended up getting into the dealer expo next door today which was at least twice as big. They offered dealer prices to the public! I'm talking top of the line helmets and gear at a fraction the cost. Alot of vendors were offering their weekend displays at the low prices, so it was really hard to find what you wanted in the right sizes... It wasnt a mad house or anything because they didnt announce it. I just asked how much a helmet was and the guy said $75, and i asked if it was dot and/snell approved because it was loaded with features, and then he told me the scoop. Could of had a modular with flip down visor, interchangeable shades, and built in communicator for $75! It just wouldn't fit! Fiancé found the T-mobile girl helmet... $55!!

I did end up getting an Icon riding jacket though. Tried it on fit me perfectly, price fit the bill in my pocket so I took it home!

Nice score Bboy!

Had to get back last night obviously, but I wish I could have seen the dealer section.

Pic update from the show.

Here is the close-up of the scorpions on that bike.

Black Widow Busa.


Exactly twice the bike of my '04 GS500.
