Probably, but still too far off for me to commit. Won't be Friday night, that much is sure since I work nights. Probably won't know for certain until Nov 29 or 30 since that's about when they usually tell me if I'm working the weekend or not.

Thats a bummer about the last minute notice on the weekend shift stuff.   Well if you end up going maybe we can meet up and say Hi.   :bandit:

I go every year.  We usually go on Friday night.  Have a quick brew at Pyramid then go to the show.  The guys I go with are hard core dirtbikers so I usually end up walking around alone as they skip all the street stuff (I can only look at a new KTM or Husaberg so long). I'll put a post in on what time we're meeting up at Pyramid.

The bike show starts at 4pm on Friday, Dec 2 if anyone wants to go that day.  I'm meeting some guys at Pyramid Ale house at 3pm for food/drinks.  The guys I'm meeting are dirt riders and have little to no interest on anything street oriented so I usually walk around by myself.  Let me know if you want to meet up.

Friday is out for me since I work nights M-F (and some weekends).
I was talking to Bobcat about it today, and he's not going this year, so I doubt I'm gonna drive/ride all the way down there by myself.
(My wife will be happier if I don't go - she's got some honey-do's for me this w/e anyway.)

Have fun!  :beers:

I just got done with 2 straight weekends of honey-do projects.  I don't know of any new, innovative bikes this year (except for the Goldwing with airbag) so it might be the same old stuff.  There is a new stunt show which might be good.  The best part of the show is that you can tire kick all you want without being pestered by salesmen.

I didn't make it this year.  :sad:  Tacoman did you see Dual-Star there?  I was hoping to pick up grip heaters.  If they were there did they have them on a show special?  I think reg. price is $29.

Thanks.  


Maybe I will make it next year. :beers:

I placed a post in the general section.  My batteries went dead on my camera so no photos.  I think the dual star guys were there but I don't remember seeing their booth.  I also missed the stunt show.  I liked the new dual sports the best.  Although I don't think I'd drop $20K on BMW's new scoot for the dirt.  The V twin Aprilia wins for just plain cool trickery.  The only problem with it is the engine is a stressed member so there's no  bottom frame tube.  The motor is sitting there fully exposed.  I'm sure someone will make a nice carbon fiber skid plate sometime.
