Timonium Motorcycle Show This Weekend

[bdimon]

I plan to head up after Saturday's club meeting. Bob's BMW will have a presence there. It looks like they will have a good section on Adventure Travel from the page at http://cycleshow.net/travel-touring/. I got a $10 ticket from Bob's BMW and it looks like you can save some bucks buying it over the Internet.

Just looked at the forecast for Saturday - cold and clear. I wonder who will ride on Saturday?

After the membership meeting I rode up to the Timonium show. The crowd to get in the fairgrounds was nuts! Once in the gates, I parked in the motorcycle area right by the front door. Saw another R1200RT and a K1600 but the other bikes ridden were mostly Harleys including an older sidecar. The latter proved the old math formula: Age of rider times age of bike equals toughness of rider.

Bob's BMW booth was pretty crowded. Man, you should see how quickly Bob moves when he sees a kid climbing on a bike from the right side and almost knocking it over on top of him. Must be years of experience working shows.

I did not know there was a Moto Guzzi in York, PA. I might have to stop by for a visit.

Lot's of classic bikes and not just Harleys. Here is the bike I should never have sold; I miss my 1975 CB400Four. Mine was blue but red looked best on this bike.

There were a lot of tour companies and world travelers there. Rene Cormier, Lisa & Simon Thomas, and the Borden family all gave presentations on traveling the world.

Although it is still heavily biased toward the Harley crowd, there was a lot for us fans of European bikes.

Glad to see the adventure pavilion made a return this year. For me that was the highlight of last year's show.

I had no idea the TMS was this weekend. Never saw a single ad or heard anybody talking about it.
