So who is going down to the show and when? I'll be trying to get off of work early on Friday to beat the crowds. Maybe we can meet up for TMW beers afterwards????

Same with Andrea (sunshine229) and I.

As usual, Total Motorcycle will be media at the show bringing back some great photos of all the new bikes there. :D

and of course our long awaited, coveted, who had the best free candy at their booth award. :D Will Kawasaki's green apple candy win again for the 3rd year in a row or will Honda's mint take the #1 spot! Stay tuned!

Mike.

I just talked to my wife and she had a pissingmatch at work, so now she has Friday off..... I'm gonna see if I can talk a day of holiday time out of my foreman, so with any luck we can get there early enough to catch most of the show. If I get the day, noon would be a good time for us to shoot for.

But I want something, Mike. Dunno what, just something..... leather jacket, snazzy hat, special edition t-shirt, custom painted helmet..... something like that. :wink:

.... you don't have to laugh that loud..... :?

And the beers will be at:

The Hose and Hound pub on 9th ave (across from Kanes Harley Diner).
With us getting down there around 3:30 we should be ready to hit the pub by 8 p.m. This place ain't bad from what I can remember and it is not too far from the show. Everyone is welcome to join us. Ask for TMW at the front door. With any luck, we'll all be wearing TMW T-shirts* (nudge Mike).

*This part is not really likely by the way. Just a gentle prodding for my buddy TotalMike

I'll do my best to make it there for 8, and if Mike could bring along a couple TMW stickers..........

8 sounds good for me, too.

Mike must be out there scramblin' to get something... anything.... made up with TMW printed on it. I see beer coasters or cocktail napkins in our future guys, one each.... :wink:

:laughing:

Sorry Mike, just yankin' yer chain.... :wink:

This sounds like it will be a great show. And with all of you coming, even better! :D

I can scrounge up 2 TMW decals for Dean and Owen. I didn't get a resupply so I'm running critically short, but if you want em, you got em! :D

Hummm, I think I can come up with something for you Dean. :D

Mike.

Woo-Hoo, did some re-scheduleing, shuffling and putting off so I think I can make the show at noon..... biggest possible snag now will be finding the place from the wife's Aunty Anne's house.... :mrgreen:

And a good time was had by all.
Nice to see everyone out for the show, and the beers.... :mrgreen: Now if Andrea would only post the pictures we can have a poll for which bike TotalMike looks best on :P And which one he needs to buy (for business purposes of course)....

Definately had a great time at the show this year, luckily I actually got there a few hours early so I could sit on some bikes as it did get busier as the night went on. :D

I was surprised to see a the 2008 KLR650 there (all 3 colours) and I read that Suzuki is going to be offering the GS500E for 2008 again, but I didn't see it there sadly. The vintage motorcycle display was good to see, abit smaller this year. Not sure what to think when I see models in the vintage display NEWER than my 1982 motorcycle...I guess my 82 is a 26 years old this year... haha

Humm, what bike would I look best on? I'll have to see, as for a brand new bike?? That would be great, but I doubt it's in my future for a while. I'd be happy with a post 1980's motorcycle. :D

So... who is the tall guy in the leather jacket who talked to Steve?

Anyone got pix from the show?

i didnt hit the show this year and havent even felt like i missed anything. gets tired talking bikes with the same old wingnuts year after year. better to forget the whole thing sometimes. It's like skipping the Stampede, it makes the other years better. BUT, i wouldn't mind some pix of something new and neat.
