Hi All This weekend was our big bike show in Toronto. After the endless snow we had last winter,I was leery of taking time away from home,just in case so no VRCC display this year. That will be next month. This year,the weather was perfect.We could of ridden to the show . O Well.
Met up with my great friends  Big and Lil D for breakfast in TO. They came the night before.My two sons, Jacob , Adrian Jr and myself drove up in the morning.



This is one big show. Took half a day to get around once. Tons of vendors, manufacturers, customs,for sales, and clubs . Even found stuff for Valks which Big D picked up very fast. Ultimate Seats amd Talisman Leather were both there. Did a ton of walking but the ice cream was good.









And of couse I needed some eye candy as well. Looks good Huh Oss?



We are lucky up here sort of. Would rather ride all year but that's not in the cards. We have 7 good bike shows within two hours drive time of my home to kill a winter with. May be not a bad trade off.

Happy Trails Adrian(Chrome)V

The Toronto show has been so much more superior to the Cycle World International Motorcycle Show in Novi MI (same dates).

If I wasn't working the ABATE of MI booth, I'd have considered a rail package trip from Windsor Ont.

I have to admit you Canadians do have a better winter blues busting M/C show,...and I'm going to get there one year.

It is a shame when you have to guess at the weather. Glad you had fun. The in-door Easyrider show is in town soon I think. My wife mentioned it. It isn't usually that interesting. Too many HD bikes that I don't care about in the way of the few bikes  I do with limited vendors. I've always preferred outdoor events for motorcycling, but in the winter sometimes in-door makes sense.

Nice, now I know what some of my chat buddies look like. That show is in Edmonton next weekend, and I plan to attend.
