Ugh, vowed never to go again, too much trouble for too little content.

Got a 03 600rr for track, and a 06 1k repsoled out for the streets.

Freq, what happened during your last visit if you don't mind me asking?

Too much $$, too many people and not enuf content. If you surf the internet, read the blogs and magazines then the only real reason to go to the show is to throw a leg over a machine. That's fine, except when there are dozens of people who will never own the machine who want to sit on it as well.

I too used to upgrade my machines every 2 years and was always on top of the newest stuff. The show was just fluff.

Not trying to discourage you, just MHO.

I agree it does get crowded, but it's not overwhelming. Some of the bikes are worth seeing upclose, plus there are some hot chicks there too. I think $15 is an ok price for an event like this.

It's a bit of a drive for me, gas, tolls, food, and all the time spent just getting there. If you live there, that's a different story.

Be sure to post a pic or two if you end up going.

I went last year and was really disappointed with the show. The guys are right though there's people there who prob won't ever get a bike that just get annoying. If you never went, I would say go for the experience see it for yourself dont let us judge it for you.

I have an 07 R1 track/street
