Sounds good!

Looks like 33F and Partly Sunny for Sat. Of course that will change.

Are still gonna try to ride?

You bet!

Only if the salt is washed off the roads.

I'm going to be there. I'll be at the CRBMW booth, with my bike packed up for a trip (most of the stuff is still on it from my trip a few weeks ago) . We're still working out the details, but there's going to be 4 bikes in the booth packed up, to demonstrate motorcycle camping packing setups.
I should be there most of the weekend, and looking forward to meeting you guys!

Let there be no snow on the roads on Friday! I'll be damned if my bike's going on any trailer...

I hope this show is better than the Atlanta one I was at....

Good news is they sell beer, bad news is it's $5.75 a beer!

It really is just the 3 of us in this thread... well, at least from the outside it looks exciting.

just kidding, any lurker's going to the show?

I guess at $6.00 a beer, at least I won't need Sherpa Ted's

OU812: I talked to Ann Marie yesterday, she and her SO are going to be there Saturday afternoon too. She said they would probably get there around 1:00pm.

Some pics: One of the main halls before the rush:

Chitown(Joe Finn) on the right with the legend Gehrhart on the left:

Your truly on his new bike(if I win, ya right!):

This just don't feel right

My buddy Bruce, who could have a bike show in his Garage:

I have not been to the show since 91', so it surely has grown about 4X the size from back then. Had a lot of fun, and spent most of my $ on food and drink.

I did get to meet Nate Kearn the Factory BMW racer and he is really down to earth nice! The pic with me on his bike, well I did not know it was his and he got over it pretty quick.

No pics of you checking out the luxo tourers?

That 800GS looks good.

I just looked at the prices. The LT is $2K less the then Goldchicken!
