Anyone headed to this next month?
I'll be looking at the Ducati Multistrada in Titanium Matte



 

[1000lbs]

I'll be there checking out the RSV4 Tuono if its there.  Also demoing as many bikes as possible, thats really the draw that gets me there every year.  This year's demo offerings look slim, but at least its a chance to ride some stuff from Japan.

Yep, I'm going.  I'll be driving out on Fri. after work and staying in LB so I can hit the demos bright and early Sat. morning.  Also wanted to take the car, as I'm shopping for a few items that may be hard to stash on the bike.

Are you planning to be there?

I'll be there as I work at the Convention Ctr. On Saturday between 1p & 3p I'll be working a dedication to the Vin Fiz, the first transcontinental flight back in 1911. Look up at the main entrance to the show from the East side and see a 1/3rd scale model of the plane.

Back to bikes... I'm interested in the baby Tiger from Triumph and the Guzzi lineup.

Hard to believe, but it looked better in person than in the picture!

No Guzzi's.

No Guzzi's.  

or Aprilia or MV or KTM    

Still had a good time, finally got my ass on an R1, and picked up some goodies.  The demos were packed, with less offerings outside of the cruiser market, everyone is lining up for the same ride.  Attendance seemed to be up however, which should be a good sign for the mfg's.

So what's the story?

You putting a deposit down shortly for the 2012's coming in?

I'm liking that titanium matte myself. If it was between that and the black one I got, it would have been a hard choice. Though, I like the subdued paint on rocket bikes. No need to add on 'arrest me red, or blind me white' into the whole touring scheme of things...
