Toronto Motorcycle show This weekend. Check out new Bandit
« on: November 30, 2005, 04:35:02 PM »
I don't know if you guys are aware but this years show for Toronto is this weekend Dec 02 - 04. If you guys would like to check out the new bandit in the flesh here's the chance.

If you live fairly close to the border of Ontario it isn't too bad of a drive. From  the crossing near Buffalo it's about 1.5 hours, and maybe 4-4.5 hours from the Detroit crossing. It's down at the convention centre this year so if you need to get there by subway it's about a 5-10 min walk from Union station which is right downtown. For those brave enough to come by Motorcycle as of Oct 28 2005 there is a new Toronto bylaw that states any public(i.e govt) pay parking is absolutely free for motorcycles from now on!!  :grin:

It the damn french part of our country don't blame us!!  :grin: Actually last year it was really good, I got a good deal on some gloves, but I'm not sure how it will work out in the convention centre. At least it's easy to get to. The city is American friendly if you're coming from the States no Montreal booing(how rude! Dont worry they hate us too!)and it very close to the entertainment district where there are lots of bars to get dru.....I mean enjoy the quiet atmosphere of the city while having a few sips of wine.

Honestly, if I'm on a mostly American site I try to spell with American spelling, but sometimes I can't help myself. Colour, centre, cheque... doh.
