No International Motorcycle Show in DC in '16?

Postby dcgsrider » Mon Jun 08, 2015 1:04 pm

The dates are out and DC is conspicuous in its absence. Ft. Washington, Pa. (aka Philadelphia area) is in the normal DC date slot.

It's not surprising considering how small this year's show was, and I've heard Washington Convention Center is an extremely expensive venue. Perhaps they've finally priced out the motorcycle show.

Not only small, but poorly attended. I'm disappointed, but not surprised they're skipping DC.

Like Wes, I'm disappointed but not completely surprised. We usually had pretty good crowds at the BMW display, and it was always nice to see club members and customers at the show.

I think BMW's booth was the only one that ever got mobbed - everybody wanted to see the new bikes!
