    Thumbs down 2012 Northeast Motorcycle Expo Providence

    Buddy of mine from work asked me to go with him and another retired former co-worker today.
    Checked the website, looks like just a F-in' pirate convention, band playing and all that crap...
    http://www.kevmarv.com/index.asp

    I do ride my cruiser with these guys sometimes, mostly when I plan the itinerary... like fairly long rides to New England landmarks, or other less genre specific events... kinda' hate to blow my friends off.
    But at fifteen bucks admission it looks to be a major drag.

    Dunno'... wish this looked like a more 'official' all brand vendor show, like the car shows are... but then they'd probably be blase' about it...
    WTF?!

    We did the Hartford show two years ago? We went through the whole show in about 15 minutes.

    $10.00 each to get in.

    Unless you are into cruisers, its a waste of time.

    yep. haggard looking women, badly done custom ricers, tons of cruisers, and of course, a heavy peppering of hells angels who everyone appears to idolize for some reason.

    kind of a waste of ten bucks, but whatever, there are motorcycles and it is the off season.

    Went to the show on Sunday, felt like a total waste of $13 (after discount coupon). No representation from Japan or Germany, only Harleys and Harley accessories, apart from a small collection of Ducatis by Riverside.
