Anyone going to the Northeast Motorcycle Expo?

[schleppy]

It's no international show in NYC, but it looks like it may be decent:

Anyone going?

[Turbocharged]

Looks like a Harley thing. I'll pass.

[schleppy]

It does, but I'm hoping to see some neat bobbers, maybe some cafe bikes, etc. We'll see.

[dankatz]

i have been to these in the past and have been disappointed. Then again, I am comparing it to the NY show

It is mostly a HD thing, but any bike stuff is a good thing this time of year

This is pretty much what I'm thinking too. I'm jonesing for something bike related.

[FirstDuc-1098]

Yea, you can use them!! Can you get me a few free passes?

[bryco13]

I go every year, just nice to see some bikes in the winter, and pic up cheap crap for the harley, you know, chrome stuff, brass knuckles, and oil tank plugs that are really daggers.

not sure bout the passes as it wont be my booth.. not definite yet anyways

[lrrs428]

I went to this a few years ago. It wasn't bad but ya it was mostly geared twords the criuser scene. They have bulk beef jerky though

I used to ride with them back in my squiddy days.

I went today. It was as expected.

The super tenere was cool.

My favorite thing was that the Christian Motorcyclists Association were selling leather vests that advertised, "hidden gun pocket inside."

lot's of "81" support.

Paul from Motomarket was there.

Yes, I did watch midgets wrestle for five minutes. The look on all the little kids faces made it worthwhile.

My kids found it entertaining. It was a draw for them. Show was definitely better than last year. It's gone downhill, but picked up this time. More interesting custom bikes.

[Ray-Ray]

Im going tomorrow.. Does anyone wanna come with or meet up?

[schleppy]

I went today. It was ok at best. It felt like there were WAY more vendors of crappy leather vests, chrome, and patches than actual bikes. With that being said, there were some neat bobbers and whatnot.

[Garandman]

I took my 7yo son with me today. Of course, for him the highlight was the midget wrestling. Some of the adults were way too into it.


There were some really nice customs there. MOM's had a lot of used bikes. Seacoast had some Aprilias and a Moto Guzzi. The Triumph display was pretty full although I didn't see their adventure touring bike. One dealer had the Yamaha Super Tenere, which I got a chance to sit on.


There were more tattooed people than I've ever seen in one place, I think. Quite a few patch-wearing bikers including Hells Angels. There were also several Hells Angel affiliated booths selling clothing. "Help us launder drug money - buy this tshirt."

I also stopped by the Moto Market booth and spoke to Paul about some new leathers. He's picked up a new line from Weisse [UK] that may work for me.



Worth it for me with a coupon and my wife dropped us off and picked us up.

[schleppy]

The one thing that really bugged me was a custom that had the Nazi eagle and swastika on its sissy bar. If I were organizing that event I wouldn't have let that thing in the building, or the ones who built it. Shameful really.

That's fucked up!

[Ray-Ray]

Show was mediocre...almost disappointing..Too many hells angels and leathers and patches..The Bomo CBR was pretty sick though!!

[schleppy]

That's fucked up!

Tell me about it. I'm hoping that is was some sort of WWII tribute bike and I just didn't look closely enough at it. Knowing some of the folks in there though, it probably wasn't...

Agreed, I can deal with Nazi relics at gun shows because I think it's more about owning a piece of history (not that I would) but a swastika on a bike is a pretty clear message.
