Real sorry to hear that. There's nothing to energize your soul like a motorcycle show.

A hundred miles south of me there are two upcoming bike shows;

www.torontomotorcycleshow.ca  (February 17-19, 2023), and

www.motorcyclespringshow.com (April 1-2, 2023).

Hasn't been a bike show since 2019.

Hey, maybe hop a plane and see one of 'em.


There was already a show in early January. We were told the manufacturers
were not present.

The February show will have them.

The April show is at the International Center, close to the airport.
People come from Michigan and New York State to see that one.

The write up seems to be contradictory to me. And they talk about supply chain problems. Then they say the shows in Toronto and Montreal are a go because they have strong support. I don't get it! 
I believe the last show that took place here was 2019. Not having it just make winter longer.

The RV show is on as I type this so I'll have to head down down there this weekend and see what kind of junk the vendors have there. Never know, there might be a new kinda broom for the garage!

Ha! This showed up this morning on FB. I guess there are those that are fed up with the no shows (pun intended) and are going to put on a show of sorts which I will definitely attend if for nothing else, the effort it would take to do this on short notice.

"Admore Lighting" seems to be the company behind it.

Hi T-Man,
same here, the Vancouver show got cancelled as well.
Some guys took it in their own hands and organized a moto show, which happened last weekend.
Not what you normally get from the big moto shows with all the big manufacturers present showing off their latest bikes, but it was definitely worth attending and looking at all the bikes they had available.
Custom builds, old bikes, rare bikes, race bikes, enduros... a bit of everything.

Have a look here, maybe it brings you in the right mood for your upcoming show

I stopped going/attending motorcycle/auto shows put on by vendors when I had to start paying admission to go see something they wanted to sell me.  Yeah, I'm like that.
