Interesting ...  I just logged in looking for this thread. alphabetman just left my house and we were talking about the Calgary show. He will know if he is in shortly and I would like to go. Thanks for the offer of a place to crash, not sure if I need it or not.

Anyone else from the Kootenays going ???

[Lazarus]

As much as I'd like to go I think I'll have to pass due to post-holiday funds shortage.    Hope you guys have fun though!

What day is everyone thinking of attending? I'll probably be there Friday or early Saturday to beat the crowds...... but I could change plans for soup.

KLRChickie and I are planning on going Saturday.

The show is open Saturday 10am-9pm.
Kings is open 8am-2pm.

So, I suggest we meet up at Kings for an early lunch, and then head down to the show.
Thoughts anyone?

I can't make it. I've got too much work travel in January, so can't find time to get away for another trip.

[bubba zanetti]

I cannot make it either ..  Family commitments intrude. Wish this was about 3 weeks from now ... ah well keeps my money in my pockets for riding next spring/summer.

Happy New Year all ... take some pics for me please !

[KLRchickie]

  too bad  

So, will there be anybody to meet up with on Saturday?  

I expect ZED will have a hundred pictures of me on various bikes, like last year!!!  

[High_Side]

  I usually like to knock off of work and catch the show on the Friday but this year a family ski trip is taking priority.  I am hoping to be back in town to catch it on Sunday before it closes. It's new bike year and the list is growing instead of getting smaller.....

Hmmm...about three weeks later or so, isn't that time for the Vancouver show?  I may try to make that one again this year...it's better for me than Calgary, since I have family in Abbotsford, and I can do business along the way (although, I guess I could do some business out in Alphabet Man's neightbourhood, too...)

Change that. I'm going now.   However, I'm just finalizing today who might come with me. Possibly a buddy, my daughter and her boyfriend, or maybe just me by myself, or any combination thereof. The size of my group and their wishes may affect whether I make it to King's or not, but I'll try.

Is there a specific time? And does anyone know the address?

Any motel suggestions? Everything in Calgary seems expensive these days.

Here is the map on King's website:

I suggest using this website to look for a room:

--sorry, no specific recommendations, not sure if you're going to find a "cheap" motel room in Calgary, by Saskatchewan standards!

May we suggest an early lunch - say 11am at King's?  Then we can go spend the afternoon at the show.  It would be best to have a head count so that the first ones there can grab a big enough table.

See you Saturday!

[Canuck]

Sorry. I did make it to the show, but with all the other obligations didn't make it to lunch.
