Default Cleveland Bike Show 2010

Hey all! I know I havn't been around these parts in awhile, but I thought I'd see if anybody is interested.

I will be going up to the Cleveland International Motorcycle show on Sunday the 31st with a friend or two. Any Ohio people going?

Racedoll, Jojo, or Topgun????

DC was last weekend, while I didn't go I know several that did. They all said it was sorta a disappointment compared to previous years. Less vendors, less manufacturers, etc. Drastically scaled back, due to the economy, no doubt.

That's exactly how it was at the Greenville, SC show compared to the previous year...

I figured. With Buell being nixed and I figure Moto Guzzi wouldn't show again with their financial troubles.

The Big 4, Ducati, Aprilla, BMW, and KTM should be there. I just wish Triumph would show up in Cleveland. They didn't last year....

I got to sit on a s1000rr today at detroits auto show so Im good on that one. Definitely a sweet bike with a nice feel. I liked it A LOT better than the feel of the 1198.

I was up in the air about BMW, but KTM??? Did you see their booth last year? It was rediculous! You would think with both of the company's flagship bikes coming to the states this year, that they would want the publicity.

Aprilia wasn't there either. A couple shops had a bike or two on display from those companies...but no factory display.
