Rocker, those retired guys have no concept of time. What could they possibly be late for except going to the bathroom ???

[esmurrell]

John,

Dates notwithstanding, I will be there.  Probably on Saturday.  The weather will determine whether I ride or drive  ;D.

Eric

[LowRyter]

Hope to see you there Eric. 

(I am glad you didn't go there yesterday)   ;D

Thanks Rock.  I'd forgotten they changed the name to Pukefest.   My Bad.

 ;D

[Stephen]

I'll be there Friday and Saturday

[rtbickel]

I will be going if it isn't raining and I can ride there.   Bike parking is free but they charge $20 to park a car.

[Declan]

I'll be going Friday . Declan. I'm beginning restoring a 71 El Dorado that I hope to finish by summer.

[sbaker]

Hello;

I'll be there Sunday....

[LowRyter]

Saturday for me.  Probably have late lunch at Ben Spies' hamburger joint. 

We'll have to share numbers are do a roll call.  I am also meeting some East Texas riders from Tyler, Bandit, Interceptor and Beemer guys.

[LowRyter]

I am heading there Saturday.

Afterwards, headed to Gas Monkey Bar & Grill.

Show was really packed this year.  The exhibits were OK.  Some new bikes.  Not like the late 90s  but good.  No Guzzi Content.  Pictures are from my phone (poor quality)

Here's Suzuki Naked 1000 GSXR.  Styled like most of the ugly new bikes.  Seemed comfy.  Bet it's fast. 



Yamaha FJ9.  Even uglier adventurer styling on sport touring bike.  I Don't get it.



Rossi Bike



Ariel Sq 4



New Norton



Electric Harley.  Very small.  30 miles range.



Duc Scrambler.  Really felt nostalgic right down to the standard ergos, squishy suspension and plain gauges.



Perhaps my fav:  Gary Nixon Thruxton tribute





Triumph LSR

[Chuck in Indiana]

Are they going to market that Nixon bike, or is it just for pretty?

[rocker59]

Yeah.  The Gary Nixon bike and the Norton are cool.

[LowRyter]

Are they going to market that Nixon bike, or is it just for pretty?

it was listed as a one-off tribute bike.  I think it was standard Thruxton with a fairing and a paint job.  It has a single front disc as well.

But it was pretty.

I wish Suzuki could style the stripped down 1000 GSXR like that.  I am little tried of the cut and paste body panels and funny shaped flat headlights.

The Norton was actually owned by a member of the Norton Club.  The guys at the table had no idea what it cost.

[bad Chad]

That Norton was at last years Chicago show.  You can order a new Norton, they start at I think 19k.  Check out their web site if you want one.
