Cleveland Bike Show.
So the show SUCKED. The only manufacturers that showed up were the Big 4 and their matching metric cruisers, Ducati, and HD. No Aprilia, no KTM, no BMW, no Triumph, no Guzzi, and of course no Buell. The IX center was about as half as full as it was last year, and they just stuffed more vendors inbetween the spaced out manufacturers. And with the economy taking its toll on the development of the new bikes, everything basically was a rehash of last year with some new paint jobs. I have lots of pics to put up, but PB is on the fritz, so I am going to test it out with one pic first. You guys should like it.
Winners- new Kawasaki Z1000, Ducati 1198S Corse, Kawasaki ZX-14 (again) Losers- new Ducati Multistrada, Aprilia, KTM, BMW, and Triumph Let me know if you can't see it...

I can see it. Im not upset I missed it this year. Some random guy at the gym mentioned it so I talked to him about it and he said that it was a joke this year even compared to last year.

Who is the Porkchop in the pic? LOL
The Long Beach, CA one in Dec. was pretty good. PACKED...I couldn't even walk anywhere. I could imagine in Cleveland there are mostly cruiser riders since there isn't a close track and all ur roads are flat.
