Progressive DC Motorcycle Show

I attended the Progressive DC Motorcycle show this past Saturday at the Washington Convention Center, and it was a very enjoyable event. The stunt show featured two riders on their Kawasaki's and they were doing things I wouldn't even imagine you could do. All the major bike manufacturers were there and I saw three bikes that I would love to own [IF I get a very significant increase in wealth because I would also need a new house with at least a 3-car garage
] Victory has two - the Cross Country and the Magnum. The 3rd one is the Indian Chieftan, and I would take any one of them in a heartbeat. But alas, this is a dream, and I'll just be happy to keep my VStar 950 Tourer. There were some nice accessories and gear vendors there too. I'm a cruiser guy but I even sat on a few sportbikes [at 50+ not very comfortable for me]. And then I saw Polaris had their 3-wheel "motorcycle" there, the Slingshot. Now that I've seen this puppy up close that is NOT a motorcycle, IMHO. You sit in it, it has a steering wheel and in my book that's not a motorcycle. But I would like to "drive it." LOL!
