Title: Anyone at Dallas International Cycle Show?
Post by: Sven on November 11, 2009, 02:31:57 PM

I am leaning strongly toward riding over on Friday, hitting the show that evening, then doing demo rides on Saturday and riding home on Sunday.  Anyone planning to go to the show that might want to say "hi" in person?

Well, so much for the interest in the IMS!  I ended up not coming over because NO ONE responded to this thread!  Oh, and also because I have a sinus infection and spent the past couple days in bed, coughing and sleeping.

Man, I used to go to that show yearly and I never knew about the demo rides!  How do I get into that action?

I think this is the first year they had demo rides in Dallas.  I went two years ago in Phoenix and had a great day, riding things I would never have even considered just because *you can for free*!

I think they generally offer demo rides in the warm winter weather areas.  When I went in Atlanta, they were not offered.

Oh, by the way...how you get in on that action is show up Sunday morning at 10AM and sign up for as many as you can.  They fill the day's slate early, but people sometimes don't show up and and you can get a last minute seat for a particular bike at a particular time.
