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

They werent in NY either. No aprilia and no ktm, triumph was there though. I actualy thought the show was prety good this year. I got a set of SS brakelines for the track bike, a pin for my pitbull front stand and some new mounting hardware for my condor stands.

Also spent a lot of time with the nesba guys since I will be doing 4-6 days with them this year since they go to vir south and beaver run.

Sounds like it worked out for you.

it def did, i was quite happy with the show this year. Not a lot of the overpriced custom choppers, and just a small area with custom sportbikes and for once I dont think the stunnas had any booths this year. Only saw a few assclowns in the wannabe bullet proof vests

I'd say that adds up to a decent show.

I'd be psyched if Triumph made it to Cleveland! I don't really care about KTM, I sat on the RC8 last year, but I always felt so good on Aprilia stuff.

We'll just have to see... 4 days....

Just got the latest Motorcyclist and they had a blurb about it. The Commando looks a lot like the cafe racers from triumph and ducati.
